Immune responses are the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens, involving both innate and adaptive systems to identify and eliminate foreign invaders. These responses are critical for maintaining health and involve a complex interplay of cells, proteins, and signaling pathways to ensure effective protection and memory against future infections.

Innate systems

Adaptive systems are designed to adjust their behavior in response to changes in their environment or internal state, allowing them to maintain functionality and improve performance over time. These systems are characterized by their ability to learn from experience, self-organize, and evolve, making them highly resilient and efficient in dynamic and complex settings.

cells

Proteins are complex macromolecules essential for various biological functions, including catalyzing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, and transporting molecules. They are composed of amino acids linked in a specific sequence, which determines their structure and function.

proteins

Signaling pathways are complex networks of communication that govern cellular responses to external stimuli, playing a crucial role in regulating cellular activities and maintaining homeostasis. They involve a series of molecular interactions and modifications that transmit signals from a receptor on the cell surface to the appropriate intracellular target, ultimately leading to a specific cellular response.
