Within the womb, a human fetus benefits from the protection of the placenta, limiting their contact with pathogens. However, once born, babies face a myriad of germs completely new to their bodies.

In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers reviewed selected acute-phase proteins concerning their production, structure, and function. The advent of severe acute ...

Figure 1: Mannose-binding lectin (blue strands) can bind to sites on the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein on the cell membrane. One of the most striking features of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is that across all ...
