New study shows antibody-interleukin complexes stimulate immune responses
The findings could also be significant for developing new ways to help patients with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or juvenile diabetes. view more (2006-02-23)
St. Jude study shows how T cell's machinery dials down autoimmunity
A St. Jude Children's Research Hospital study shows that T cells, the body's master immune regulators, do not use simple on/off switches to govern the cellular machinery that regulates their development and function. Rather, they possess sophisticated molecular controls that enable them to adjust their function with exquisite precision. view more (2008-05-13)
Immune therapy could treat leukemias, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection
In studies with mice, treatment with a new monoclonal antibody that targets immune system B cells has shown considerable promise for treating leukemias, autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. view more (2005-10-12)
JDRF funded research shows promise for prevention, reversal of type 1 diabetes
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have reported that two common cancer drugs have been used to block and reverse type 1 diabetes in mice. view more (2008-11-19)
New scientific knowledge on juvenile diabetes
Finnish scientists have reported a breakthrough in the attempts to understand the development of type 1 diabetes. They discovered disturbances in lipid and amino acid metabolism in children who later progressed to type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. view more (2008-12-18)
Scientists discover way to control allergic reactions
Scientists have discovered a novel method to reduce cat allergic reactions by topping up the immune cells responsible for controlling them. view more (2005-04-06)
Don't be a stranger to yourself
One of the most important tasks of the immune system is to identify what is foreign and what is self. If this distinction fails, then the body's own structures will be attacked, the result of which could be an autoimmune disease such as diabetes mellitus type 1 or multiple sclerosis. view more (2009-03-16)
Mayo researchers lead team that discovers role of dendritic cells in childhood autoimmune disease
Mayo Clinic researchers, working with colleagues at the University of Minnesota and University of Pittsburgh, are the first to describe a new role for a specialized cell of the immune system in children suffering from a rare muscle-damaging disease known as juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). view more (2005-11-14)
Stanford study identifies cellular mechanism that causes lupuslike symptoms in mice
Macrophages, the scavenger cells of the body's immune system, are responsible for disposing of dying cells. Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have identified one pathway in this important process in mice that, if disrupted, causes a lupuslike autoimmune disease. view more (2009-10-19)
Penn researchers provide insights into how the immune system avoids attacking itself
A finding by University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers about how immune cells "decide" to become active or inactive may have applications in fighting cancerous tumors, autoimmune diseases, and organ transplant rejection. view more (2006-10-13)
Stem cell transplant can grow new immune system in certain mice, Stanford researchers find
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a small but significant step, in mouse studies, toward the goal of transplanting adult stem cells to create a new immune system for people with autoimmune or genetic blood diseases. view more (2007-11-26)
Preventing toxic side effects of inflammatory disease therapy
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a mouse model that could help scientists develop better drugs to fight autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2006-02-09)
“Shooting the messenger” to tackle autoimmune diseases
AIDS and other autoimmune diseases could be tackled with a range of new drugs that stop cells recognising certain chemical messages in blood, says Dr Gerry Graham from the Glasgow-based Institute for Cancer Research speaking at the BA Festival of Science today [3 September 2001]. Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple... view more... (2001-08-30)
Molecule That Destroys Bone Also Protects It, New Research Shows
An immune system component that is a primary cause of bone destruction and inflammation in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis actually protects bone in the oral cavity from infectious pathogens that play a major role in periodontal disease in humans, research at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2007-05-09)
DASNR researchers make breakthrough against poxviruses
Smallpox has a nasty history throughout the world. Caused by poxviruses, smallpox is one of the few disease-causing agents against which the human body's immune system is ineffective in its defense. view more (2009-01-26)
Natural immune-control system may aid treatment of autoimmune disease and tissue rejection
The immune system's ability to police itself may offer a new method of arresting the cells responsible for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and for the rejection of transplanted organs and tissues. view more (2007-05-18)
Scientists directly view immune cells interacting to avert autoimmunity
Using a new form of microscopy to penetrate living lymph nodes, UCSF scientists have for the first time viewed immune cells at work, helping clarify how T cells control autoimmunity. view more (2005-12-05)
Water channel protein implicated in relative of multiple sclerosis
Researchers have identified a molecular suspect in a disorder similar to multiple sclerosis (MS) that attacks the optic nerve and spinal cord, according to a report presented at the 130th annual meeting of the American Neurological Association in San Diego. view more (2005-09-22)
Auto immune response creates barrier to fertility; could be a step in speciation
Plant biologists at the Max Planck Institute of Developmental Biology and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that an autoimmune response, triggered by a small number of genes, can be a barrier to producing a viable offspring. view more (2007-09-04)
Blood pressure medication to treat multiple sclerosis?
Conventional blood pressure medication can treat inflammation in an animal model mimicking multiple sclerosis (MS). This discovery was made by Dr. Michael Platten, head consultant at the department of Neurooncology at Heidelberg University Hospital and head of the Helmholtz Experimental Neuroimmunology Junior Research Group on at the German Cancer... view more...
