A booster shot appears to improve tuberculosis (TB) resistance in previously vaccinated adults, according to new research in South Africa. view more (2010-03-17)
Research identifies potential new use for cancer treatment
Drugs increasingly used to treat cancer could have a major impact on a wide range of infectious diseases, according to new research. view more (2010-03-16)
Double Agents: Penn Researchers Identify Immune Cells That Fight Parasites May Promote Allergies and Asthma
Millions of people in both the developing and developed world may benefit from new immune-system research findings from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. view more (2010-03-12)
Barrier in mosquito midgut protects invading pathogens
Scientists studying the Anopheles gambiae mosquito - the main vector of malaria - have found that when the mosquito takes a blood meal, that act triggers two enzymes to form a network of crisscrossing proteins around the ingested blood. view more (2010-03-12)
Papaya extract thwarts growth of cancer cells in lab tests
The humble papaya is gaining credibility in Western medicine for anticancer powers that folk cultures have recognized for generations. view more (2010-03-10)
New approach to immune cell analysis seen as first step to better distinguish health and disease
Investigators have developed a new mathematical approach to analyze molecular data derived from complex mixtures of immune cells. This approach, when combined with well-established techniques, readily identifies changes in small samples of human whole blood, and has the potential to distinguish between health and disease states. view more (2010-03-09)
Immune cells use bungee of death to kill dangerous cells, shows new research
Immune cells ensnare dangerous cells that are on the run with a bungee-like nanotube, according to research published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2010-03-09)
University of Michigan scientists discover bone marrow can harbor HIV-infected cells
University of Michigan scientists have identified a new reservoir for hidden HIV-infected cells that can serve as a factory for new infections. view more (2010-03-09)
Vitamin D crucial to activating immune defenses
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin, the killer cells of the immune system - T cells - will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. view more (2010-03-08)
How to fortify the immunity of HIV patients
New findings from a Université de Montréal and the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida (VGTI) study, in collaboration with scientists from the NIH and the McGill University Health Center, may soon lead to an expansion of the drug arsenal used to fight HIV. view more (2010-03-08)
Virus infections may be contributing factor in onset of gluten intolerance
Recent research findings indicate a possible connection between virus infections, the immune system and the onset of gluten intolerance, also known as coeliac disease. view more (2010-03-08)
Genetic variant offers protection against TB and leprosy
A study into why some people are more resistant than others to diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy has identified a new genetic variant which affects susceptibility to these diseases. view more (2010-03-05)
Researchers find further evidence linking Epstein-Barr virus and risk of multiple sclerosis
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and a team of collaborators have observed for the first time that the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) increases by many folds following infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). view more (2010-03-05)
Possible vaccine for mesothelioma proven safe
Researchers have demonstrated the safety of a potential vaccine against mesothelioma, a rare cancer associated primarily with asbestos exposure. view more (2010-03-04)
HIV Vaccine Strategy Expands Immune Responses
Two teams of researchers-including Los Alamos National Laboratory theoretical biologists Bette Korber, Will Fischer, Sydeaka Watson, and James Szinger-have announced an HIV vaccination strategy that has been shown to expand the breadth and depth of immune responses in rhesus monkeys. Rhesus monkeys provide the best animal model currently available... view more... (2010-03-04)
Researchers examine plant's ability to identify, block invading bacteria
Understanding how plants defend themselves from bacterial infections may help researchers understand how people and other animals could be better protected from such pathogens. view more (2010-03-04)
