Researchers gathered at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, for the first Innate Immune Memory Conference dedicated to the adaptive characteristics of innate immunity, to further the understanding of this newly described immunological process that probably has a central role in host defense and inflammation.
Researchers gathered in Paris at the first European Molecular Biology Organization conference devoted to innate lymphoid cells and discussed recent advances to further understanding of the development, regulation and function of these intriguing cells.
Progress in understanding the multifaceted biology of B cells and their multiple contributions to autoimmunity is providing productive understanding of disease pathogenesis and is leading to novel strategies for therapeutic intervention.
At the third of the three-part EMBO Conference series “Signaling in the immune system,” immunologists presented their most recent findings in this rapidly moving field and discussed new questions and emerging trends.
The worlds of innate and adaptive immunity collided pleasantly and productively as investigators from each field met in Mykonos for the 4th Aegean Conference on the Crossroads Between Innate and Adaptive Immunity.
This report describes advances in the understanding of how microbes elicit and evade immune responses and the sensing of pathogens by host cells that leads to the activation and production of intra- and extracellular signaling molecules.
For 50 years, immunologists have been meeting each winter in California to discuss new findings and theories in immunology. A recurring theme this year was the continuous conversation between the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. To mark the 50th anniversary of this meeting, some of the speakers took a look back half a century to see how far immunologists have come.
A diverse group of immunologists gathered recently at Asilomar, California, to discuss advances in the theory and practice of their field. The pristine setting and informal atmosphere have always made this a unique and memorable conference.
Ariadne is the legendary Minoan goddess of the Labyrinth. The term 'Ariadne's thread' is used to describe the understanding of complex issues. Immunologists attending the 5th Leukocyte Signal Transduction Workshop discussed the Ariadne's thread woven about intracellular signaling pathways.
More than 20 years after the first successful engraftment of human leukocytes and hematopoietic organs in mice, scientists met for the 2nd International Workshop on Humanized Mice to discuss progress and to highlight expectations in this dynamic field.
