Caltech biologists spy on the secret inner life of a cell
The transportation of antibodies from a mother to her newborn child is vital for the development of that child's nascent immune system. view more (2008-10-13)
Home testing kit could help identify 'hidden' caffeine in beverages
If you've ever wondered whether your favorite coffee, tea or soda contains caffeine - despite its decaf label or the absence of caffeine on the ingredient list - then you may soon be able to test the beverage yourself. view more (2006-05-11)
Two targeted therapies likely better than one in patients with aggressive lymphoma
When combined with a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs, two monoclonal antibodies, instead of one, appear to offer superior results in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, according to Mayo Clinic researchers working with the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG). view more (2009-05-15)
Treatment advances for lymphoma have reduced deaths by 70%
New treatment advances for patients with follicular lymphoma, previously considered an incurable cancer, have reduced deaths in the first four years by 70 percent. view more (2005-10-21)
Malaria vaccine prompts victims' immune system to eliminate parasite from mosquitoes
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have developed an experimental vaccine that could, theoretically, eliminate malaria from entire geographic regions, by eradicating the malaria parasite from an area's mosquitoes. view more (2006-12-19)
NIAID scientists propose new explanation for flu virus antigenic drift
Influenza viruses evade infection-fighting antibodies by constantly changing the shape of their major surface protein. view more (2009-10-30)
HIV-infected infants respond poorly to childhood vaccination
It is known that HIV-infected children who do not receive appropriate antiretroviral drugs experience immune depression, and may become susceptible to infectious diseases that would otherwise be prevented by childhood immunization. view more (2007-12-05)
Researchers develop new ultrasensitive assay to detect most poisonous substance known
Scientists at City of Hope and the California Department of Public Health have developed a new ultrasensitive assay to detect botulinum neurotoxin. view more (2008-05-01)
Varicella zoster infection causes severe autoimmune hepatitis
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver inflammation of unknown etiology that is characterized by the presence of circulatory autoantibodies and ongoing liver tissue damage. view more (2009-03-03)
Synthetic molecules may be less expensive alternative to therapeutic antibodies, researchers find
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a simple and inexpensive method to screen small synthetic molecules and pull out a handful that might treat cancer and other diseases less expensively than current methods. view more (2008-04-07)
Emory algorithm improves kidney transplant chances for sensitized patients
Approximately one-third of the patients on the national waiting list for kidney transplants have only a small chance of receiving a new organ, no matter how long they are on the list. Due to prior transplants, pregnancies or blood transfusions, these patients have developed antibodies that make it very difficult to match them with donor organs. view more (2007-03-05)
Sweet -- sugared polymer a new weapon against allergies and asthma
Scientists at Johns Hopkins and their colleagues have developed sugar-coated polymer strands that selectively kill off cells involved in triggering aggressive allergy and asthma attacks. view more (2009-11-20)
Scientists Learn the Origin of Rogue B Cells
Doctors have long wondered why, in some people, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect, leading to autoimmune disease. view more (2007-02-08)
New insights could lead to a better pneumococcal vaccine
Discovery of a new, previously unknown mechanism of immunity suggests that there may be a better way to protect vulnerable children and adults against Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal) infection, say researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). view more (2008-09-23)
NIH scientists target future pandemic strains of H5N1 avian influenza
Preparing vaccines and therapeutics that target a future mutant strain of H5N1 influenza virus sounds like science fiction, but it may be possible, according to a team of scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and a collaborator at Emory University... view more...

'Nanocantilevers' yield surprises critical for designing new detectors
Researchers at Purdue University have made a discovery about the behavior of tiny structures called nanocantilevers that could be crucial in designing a new class of ultra-small sensors for detecting viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. view more (2006-08-29)
Blood Poisoning Vaccine Ready for Human Trials
A combined British and US research team has developed the world's first vaccine against endotoxin, which is a key cause of blood poisoning and death after major surgery for cancer or heart disease. The announcement was made at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. "Most people make a... view more... (2003-04-02)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings article explores possible link between obesity and viral infections
Experts don't dispute the important role that diet and activity play in maintaining a healthy weight. But can poor eating habits and a less active lifestyle fully explain the prevalence of obesity in the United States today? view more (2007-10-24)
New vaccine platform may fight infections with causes from influenza to bioterrorism
The development of effective vaccines for people with compromised immune systems may be feasible after all, according to a team of researchers, who demonstrated their approach could protect against pneumocystis pneumonia in mice lacking the same population of immune cells that HIV destroys in humans. view more (2005-11-28)
New cancer weapon: nuclear nanocapsules
Rice University chemists have found a way to package some of nature's most powerful radioactive particles inside DNA-sized tubes of pure carbon -- a method they hope to use to target tiny tumors and even lone leukemia cells. view more (2007-08-24)
