Innate immunity refers to the natural defense mechanisms our body has to protect us from harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. It is something we are born with and helps fight off infections before our body learns how to respond specifically to each type of invader.

The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential «organ» in providing nourishment, regulating epithelial development, and

Clinical and preclinical studies have shown that even short - term spikes in blood sugar can impair the immune system (
specifically innate immunity) and the body's ability to fight infection.

innate immunity earned the three scientists the Shaw Prize for life science and medicine.
Westendorp has continued this line of research since returning to Leiden in 1999, by investigating whether genetic factors that
control innate immunity and inflammation could explain the fertility - longevity tradeoff.
The scientists scanned three different human cell lines for ERVs in their DNA that could bind to
innate immunity transcription factors, which turn on genes to ramp up the immune system's attack against pathogens.
