    Innate immunity regulates adaptive immune responses through mechanisms like antigen presentation, cytokine production, and metabolic reprogramming.

  • 2

    Defective innate signaling can lead to impaired pathogen control and weak adaptive immune priming, while excessive activation may cause autoimmune inflammation.

  • 3

    Trained immunity involves long-lasting changes in innate immune cells driven by metabolic and epigenetic alterations, affecting subsequent adaptive responses.

  • 4

    Barrier immunity plays a crucial role in shaping adaptive immunity by limiting antigen entry and releasing mediators that influence local immune responses.

  • 5

    The review proposes a framework based on signal strength, duration, and bias to understand how innate immune changes lead to adaptive immune dysfunction.
