Largest ever study of genetics of common diseases published today
The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, the largest ever study of the genetics behind common diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and coronary heart disease, today publishes its results in the journals Nature and Nature Genetics. view more (2007-06-07)
A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by a distinct... view more... (2005-04-05)
Wistar researchers invigorate 'exhausted' immune cells
In battles against chronic infections, the body's key immune cells often become exhausted and ineffective. Researchers at The Wistar Institute have found a way to restore vigor to these killer T cells by blocking a key receptor on their surface, findings that may advance the development of new therapies for diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C,... view more...

New discovery may improve treatment of one of the world's leading causes of blindness
An inflammatory eye condition that is one of the world's leading causes of blindness could be treated much more effectively and easily thanks to a new discovery here. view more (2007-10-01)
USC researchers discover novel way to develop tumor vaccines
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have uncovered a new way to develop more effective tumor vaccines by turning off the suppression function of regulatory T cells. view more (2008-03-03)
Research shows promise for using stem cell transplantation to treat patients with severe lupus
About half of patients with severe lupus that was refractory to standard treatment and who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation to improve their immune system have substantial improvement in disease activity after several years. view more (2006-02-01)
Flick of a protein switches immune response
A single protein can turn on and off a key component of the immune system by changing partners in an elegant genomic dance, said researchers at the University of Southern California and Harvard Medical School. view more (2006-07-28)
Minuscule molecules pack a powerful punch
A role for a microRNA in the immune system has been shown by study of one of the world's first microRNA knockout mouse, reported Friday 27 April in Science. view more (2007-04-27)
Smoking and the Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Shows Significantly Higher Risk for the Disease Among Current Smokers with a Classic Genetic Risk Factor view more (2004-10-07)
Chopped up proteins trigger autoimmunity
Dutch biochemist Geurt Schilders has mapped several proteins that can regulate the activity of the human exosome and which play a role in the degradation of RNA molecules. view more (2008-01-25)
UT researcher: Interferon alpha can delay full onset of type I diabetes
A low dose of oral interferon alpha shows promise in preserving beta cell function for patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, or juvenile diabetes. view more (2009-07-01)
A protein in the eye may prevent immune response and protect eyes from disease
Scientists at The Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a protein known as F4/80 found on immune cells in the eye and other parts of the body may have a function in the regulation of the body's immune response and protect delicate tissues that cannot survive the "inflammation" inherent in full-blown immunity. view more (2005-06-22)
International team analyzes human genetic variation in key immune region
An international group of researchers today unveiled a detailed map of human genetic variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the most important region of the human genome encoding the human response to infection, autoimmune disease and organ transplantation. view more (2006-09-26)
Yale study explains complex infection fighting mechanism
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Nature Immunology how infection fighting mechanisms in the body can distinguish between a virus and the healthy body, shedding new light on auto immune disorders. view more (2006-01-11)
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)
Research teams uncover risk genes for multiple sclerosis
Two new large-scale genomic studies have honed in on the main genetic pathway associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), while also uncovering new genetic variations in the disease and suggesting a possible link between MS and other autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-07-31)
Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Immunology Researchers Show Blood-Brain Barrier Damage Could Affect MS Severity
Immunology researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson studying a multiple sclerosis (MS)-like disease in mice have shown that the amount of "damage" to the central nervous system's protective blood-brain barrier - in essence, opening it - almost always correlates to the severity of the disease. view more (2007-04-06)
Lancet Study Supports New, Highly Effective Treatment for Blood Disorder
Patients suffering from a blood disorder that prevents proper clotting have the option of a new medication that may dramatically improve their health. view more (2009-03-23)
Tryptophan no turkey in boosting immune system, Stanford study shows
Tryptophan is the source of Thanksgiving legend and grist for a "Seinfeld" episode, but it's not the chemical that you'd expect to find in Lawrence Steinman's lab. view more (2005-11-04)
Modified bone marrow cells can help recovery in an animal model of multiple sclerosis
A new study published in PLoS Medicine has shown that modified bone marrow cells can help recovery in an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). view more (2007-04-10)
