Microglia have the ability to mediate innate immune memory and can be reprogrammed by primary stimuli to enhance or inhibit the immune response of microglia to secondary stimuli. Inflammatory stimulation is an important factor for microglia to mediate innate immune memory. Single or repeated stimulation can induce microglia to form different phenotypes. Microglia-mediated innate immune response is involved in the regulation of immune memory. Enhancer modification is a key pathway of microglia epigenetic regulation, and the H3K27ac enhancer marker is closely related to immune training. TGF-β1 mediates the interaction between IL-10 and IL-1β, thereby influencing the microglial phenotype. Microglia glycolysis activity is increased after immune training, and oxidative phosphorylation is associated with immune tolerance. Innate immune memory is closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, brain damage and psychosis. Further study on the mechanism of microglia-mediated innate immune memory is helpful to understand the occurrence and development of central nervous system diseases and provide new options for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID), now often referred to as inborn errors of immunity (IEI), are a large heterogeneous group of disorders that result from deficiencies in immune system development and/or function. IEIs can be broadly classified as disorders of adaptive immunity (e.g.

The disease caused by infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) leads to outbreaks of local epidemics, reducing animal welfare, and causing significant economic losses. The composition of feed has shifted from marine ingredients such as fish oil and fish meal towards a more plant-based diet causing reduced levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

Our understanding of type 2 immunity has undergone a substantial transformation in recent years, revealing previously unknown functions. Beyond its canonical role in defence against parasitic helminth infections, type 2 immunity safeguards the host through additional mechanisms, including the suppression of excessive type 1 immune responses, regulation of tissue repair and maintenance of adipose tissue homeostasis. However, unlike type 1 immune responses, type 2 immunity is perceived as a potential promoter of tumorigenesis.

Disease tolerance is an evolutionarily conserved host defense strategy that preserves tissue integrity and physiology without affecting pathogen load. Unlike host resistance, the mechanisms underlying disease tolerance remain poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated whether an adjuvant (β-glucan) can reprogram innate immunity to provide protection against influenza A virus (IAV) infection.

Characterising functional diversity is a vital element to understanding a species' immune function, yet many immunogenetic studies in non-model organisms tend to focus on only one or two gene families such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or toll-like receptors (TLR). Another interesting component of the eukaryotic innate immune system is the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The two major groups of mammalian AMPs are cathelicidins and defensins, with the former having undergone species-specific expansions in marsupials.
