Scripps research team develops new technique to tap full potential of antibody libraries
In hopes of more fully tapping the libraries' potential, a group of Scripps Research Institute scientists, led by Scripps Research President Richard A. Lerner, M.D., has for the first time developed a new screening technique that enables antibody screening against equally massive libraries of targets. view more (2009-01-16)
Cerebral malaria: Approaching a diagnostic test
Scientists at CNRS and the Pasteur Institute, collaborating with physicians in Gabon, have just undertaken a study on cerebral malaria in children living in an endemic region. view more (2007-05-04)
Pediatric obesity may alter thyroid function and structure
In addition to its strong associations with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, pediatric obesity may induce alterations in thyroid function and structure, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-12-03)
Virus-resistant grapevines
A good wine needs to ripen. But it's a long way to the barrel. Even before the harvest, the grapevines have to overcome all kinds of obstacles. Extremely hot or rainy periods can destroy entire crops, not to mention the wide variety of pests that can appear on the scene. view more (2009-07-06)
Survivors of 1918 flu pandemic protected with a lifetime immunity to virus
New research has discovered that infection and natural exposure to the 1918 influenza virus made survivors immune to the disease for the remaining of their lives. view more (2008-08-18)
Baiting bacteria with polymers
Anyone who has experienced food poisoning while on vacation in warm climates is sure to recognize the importance of safeguarding hygiene - and of microbial food testing. Since many types of bacteria, such as salmonella, multiply at an exceptionally fast rate in warm weather on meat or in milk products, relatively lengthy laboratory investigations... view more...

HIV uses several strategies to escape immune pressure
A study of how HIV mutates in response to immune system pressure by Emory Vaccine Center researchers shows that the virus can take several escape routes, not one preferred route. view more (2009-09-21)
Cheaper, potentially better disease treatments expected from faster approach to developing therapeutic antibodies
A method of mass-producing disease-fighting antibodies entirely within bacteria has been developed by a research group at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-04-19)
Penn-Wistar team gains insight into HIV vaccine failure
A team of researchers from The Wistar Institute and the University of Pennsylvania reports new evidence refuting a popular hypothesis about the highly publicized failure in 2007 of the Merck STEP HIV vaccine study that cast doubt on the feasibility of HIV-1 vaccines. view more (2009-07-21)
Sophisticated drugs detection
Police and customs around the world spend over $250 million a year on drug detection equipment. Despite efforts to develop new technologies, more than half of this money goes to one of the oldest drug detection systems in the world - the sniffer dog. view more (2003-01-16)
Researchers find cause of severe allergic reaction to cancer drug
Clinicians have been perplexed by the fact that some patients given the drug cetuximab-an immune-based therapy commonly used to treat persons diagnosed with head and neck cancer, or colon cancer-have a severe and rapid adverse reaction to the drug. view more (2008-03-13)
Several genes that regulate the disease SLE have been identified
Swedish researchers, in collaboration with foreign colleagues, have identified a number of new genes that can be tied to the disease SLE, including a gene that hopefully might be used to treat the disease in the future by regulating the production of antibodies. view more (2008-01-23)
Biodegradable napkin — featuring sensitive nanofibers — may quickly detect biohazards
Detecting bacteria, viruses and other dangerous substances in hospitals, airplanes and other commonly contaminated places could soon be as easy as wiping a napkin or paper towel across a surface, says a researcher from Cornell University. view more (2006-09-12)
First-degree fetal heart block may be reversible
There is an increased risk of fetal heart problems when mothers carry particular antibodies associated with rheumatic diseases, according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 9 in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-12)
UCSF finds potential new antibody treatment for autoimmune diseases
Scientists at UCSF have discovered an abnormality in a patient's immune system that may lead to safer therapies for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and colitis, as well as potential new ways to treat transplant rejection. view more (2009-01-23)
The Immune System In Autism
Autism suffers present a widespread range of antibodies against brain tissue and one protein in particular seems to be the major target of these antibodies claim a group of scientists in the July issue of the Journal of Neuroimmunology. The researchers also show that these antibodies are not genetically determined, as parents of affected... view more... (2004-07-23)
Hopes of a New Treatment Approach for Paralysis
Scientists at the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg) were recently able to show in experiments with mice that a paralysis can be reversed by blocking programmed cell death. Paralysis in the form of paraplegia and quadriplegia is usually the result of traumatic spinal cord injuries, but can also be caused... view more... (2004-03-15)
How can we know early who will benefit from tumor target therapy?
The precise tailoring of tumor target treatment for patients with cancer is an unmet challenge. The goal is to only administer treatments that have a high probability of being effective. view more (2007-11-26)
New link found between osteoporosis and coeliac disease
People with coeliac disease may develop osteoporosis because their immune system attacks their bone tissue, a new study has shown. view more (2009-10-08)
Caltech scientists show why anti-HIV antibodies are ineffective at blocking infection
Some 25 years after the AIDS epidemic spawned a worldwide search for an effective vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), progress in the field seems to have effectively become stalled. view more (2009-04-23)
