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)
UNH Glycomics Center Helps Identify Sugar Linkage That Could Lead To Better Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire Glycomics Center have helped identify a specific carbohydrate structure that confers anti-inflammatory activity to a glycoprotein antibody that could lead to improved treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-05-14)
Report focuses on the role good microbes play in future medicine
Not all bacteria are bad. In fact, beneficial microbes could represent the future of medicine, with the potential to treat a variety of diseases in humans and animals from diarrhea and eczema to gum disease and autoimmune disorders. view more (2006-06-09)
Research links genetic mutations to lupus
A gene discovered by scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine has been linked to lupus and related autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-07-30)
Life-threatening lupus responds to stem cell transplant therapy
Transplanting patients with blood stem cells that originate from their own bone marrow can induce the remission of life-threatening, treatment-resistant lupus. view more (2006-02-01)
Risk genes for multiple sclerosis uncovered
A large-scale genomic study has uncovered new genetic variations associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), findings that suggest a possible link between MS and other autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-07-30)
UM scientists pinpoint critical molecule to celiac disease, possibly other autoimmune disorders
It was nine years ago that University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers discovered that a mysterious human protein called zonulin played a critical role in celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes. view more (2009-09-08)
Scientists identify genes linked to lupus in women
An international consortium of scientists has identified multiple genes that are linked to systemic lupus erythematosus, a devastating autoimmune disease that affects between 1 million and 2 million Americans. view more (2008-01-21)
Potential preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes
Scientists believe they may have found a preventative therapy for Type 1 diabetes, by making the body's killer immune cells tolerate the insulin-producing cells they would normally attack and destroy, prior to disease onset. view more (2009-04-29)
McGill/JGH researchers successfully reverse multiple sclerosis in animals
A new experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) completely reverses the devastating autoimmune disorder in mice, and might work exactly the same way in humans, say researchers at the Jewish General Hospital Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research and McGill University in Montreal. view more (2009-08-12)
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)
Development of DNA drugs gives hope to lupus patients
A generation of DNA-like compounds, class R inhibitory oligonucleotides (INH-ODNs), have been shown to effectively inhibit cells responsible for the chronic autoimmune condition lupus. view more (2009-05-28)
Steps toward Stopping Autoimmune Disease
A landmark genetic study has identified multiple genes linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, a debilitating autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 1.4 million Americans. view more (2008-01-21)
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)
Molecule linked to autoimmune disease relapses identified at Stanford
The ebb and flow of such autoimmune diseases as multiple sclerosis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis has long been a perplexing mystery. view more (2006-12-04)
Left handers at twice the risk of inflammatory bowel disease
Left handers seem to be at twice the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, suggests research in Gut. The research focused on two national groups of people born in 1958 and 1970 in Great Britain, who were monitored by questionnaire at the ages of 26 and 33. Handedness was determined from hand... view more... (2001-07-11)
High-dose Interferon Beta-1B On Alternate Days Could Offer Increased Clinical Benefit For People With Multiple Sclerosis (p 1453)
A study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that high-dose interferon beta-1b administered every other day is more effective than interferon beta-1a once a week for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). There are three interferon beta therapies known to be effective in reducing MS symptoms: interferon beta-1a 30 mcg administered... view more... (2002-04-24)
Gene linked to lupus might explain gender difference in disease risk
In an international human genetic study, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a gene linked to the autoimmune disease lupus, and its location on the X chromosome might help explain why females are 10 times more susceptible to the disease than males. view more (2009-03-30)
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)
