Men experience sexual dysfunction during hepatitis C therapy
Sexual impairment is common among men with chronic hepatitis C undergoing antiviral therapy, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2009-09-01)
Combined effect of proteins saves lives in cases of pneumonia
An effective host defence to the most prevalent form of pneumonia is only obtained if two proteins combine their forces. Dutch researcher Anita Rijneveld made this discovery during her PhD research at the Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam. Using mice infected with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the bacterium which causes... view more... (2003-05-16)
Antibacterial detergents don't create superbugs - Microbiology Today: May 2004 issue
Research proves that use of antibacterial detergents in the home and in hospitals can reduce the development of superbugs, according to an article published in the May 2004 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine for the Society for General Microbiology. Using antibacterial products, including disinfectants and antiseptics, has been... view more... (2004-05-17)
The road to allergy
A UK scientist has discovered the route and type of transport taken by peanut proteins through the gut to the immune system. This route favours an immune response, which helps explain why peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods. view more (2004-11-18)
Study identifies biomarker that safely monitors tumor response to new brain cancer treatment
A specific biomarker, a protein released by dying tumor cells, has been identified as an effective tool in an animal model to gauge the response to a novel gene therapy treatment for glioblastoma mulitforme. view more (2009-07-01)
Accumulated bits of a cell's own DNA can trigger autoimmune disease
A security system wired within every cell to detect the presence of rogue viral DNA can sometimes go awry, triggering an autoimmune response to single-stranded bits of the cell's own DNA, according to a report in the August 22nd issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication. view more (2008-08-22)
New evidence explains poor infant immune response to certain vaccines, says MU researcher
For years, researchers and physicians have known that infants' immune systems do not respond well to certain vaccines, thus the need for additional boosters as children develop. view more (2009-04-02)
Allergy season: Cigarettes to the rescue?
Everyone knows that smoking can kill you, but did you know that it may help with your allergies? A new study shows that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens. view more (2009-05-15)
Antiviral drugs may help relieve nerve pain related to shingles
A small trial suggests that treatment with intravenous and oral antiviral medications may reduce the nerve pain that occurs following shingles. view more (2006-05-09)
Pitt researchers find promising candidate protein for cancer prevention vaccines
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have learned that some healthy people naturally developed an immune response against a protein that is made in excess levels in many cancers, including breast, lung, and head and neck cancers. view more (2009-08-05)
2-day results predict ultimate response to therapy in chronic hepatitis C
A new study suggests that previously noted low rates of successful hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy in African Americans are in large part due to very early differences in the antiviral activity induced by interferon. view more (2009-03-23)
UCR-led study identifies crucial mechanism involved in immune response against viruses
A research team led by UC Riverside scientists has shown that the common fruit fly can serve as an excellent model for studying the immunity animals are born with for fighting viral infections. view more (2006-03-24)
HIV vaccine takes different tack to boosting immune response
esearchers at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston have reason to believe their unorthodox vaccine could one day help to prevent or control HIV infection. view more (2006-01-03)
Scientists isolate chemical in curry that may help immune system clear plaques found in Alzheimer's
Researchers isolated bisdemethoxycurcumin, the active ingredient of curcuminoids - a natural substance found in turmeric root - that may help boost the immune system in clearing amyloid beta, a peptide that forms the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-07-17)
Finding protection from tumor growth in unexpected places
Researchers have discovered that an enzyme commonly involved in regulating blood pressure also provides protection from tumor growth when strongly expressed in immune cells. view more (2007-06-06)
oes peripheral T-lymphocyte subpopulations correlate with hepatitis B virus load?
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic process with variable biochemical, virological and histological profiles at different stages of the infection, depending on host and viral factors. Furthermore, this profile may change at a variable pace over time. view more (2009-07-29)
Bees go 'off-color' when they are sickly
Bumble-bees go 'off colour' and can't remember which flowers have the most nectar when they are feeling under the weather, a new study from the University of Leicester reveals. view more (2008-07-16)
Protein interaction network can respond Helicobacter pylori infection?
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a gram negative bacterium which infects about 50% of the world population. H pylori colonization causes a strong systemic immune response. view more (2009-10-16)
Bacteria 'launch a shield' to resist attack
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark along with other collaborators in Denmark and the US found that the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can 'switch on' production of molecules that kill white blood cells - preventing the bacteria being eliminated by the body's immune system. view more (2009-11-02)
Fruit flies show how salmonella escapes immune defenses
Salmonella are wily and obnoxious bacterial invaders--escape artists capable of evading multiple immune responses and causing a harsh and debilitating intestinal infection. view more (2008-04-17)
