Eight new genes linked to diabetes; the understanding of a financial and health monster
Eight genes, normally associated with normal pancreatic functions, are linked with susceptibility to diabetes Type 2 reports a team of investigators in the last issue of the PLoS Biology Journal. In'™s Barroso and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom studied 71 genes on more than 2000 individuals, trying to correlate... view more... (2003-11-28)
Natural, soy-based substance might help fight MS, Jefferson neuroscientists find
A natural substance made from soy appears to have amazing restorative powers when given to animals with a multiple sclerosis (MS)-like disease. view more (2006-12-13)
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)
Crucial Factors in Lymphoma Development and Survival Discovered
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have discovered an important factor in the development of B-cell lymphomas, one of the fastest growing forms of cancer. view more (2008-06-24)
Stress can contribute to childhood diabetes
Stress and difficult life events in the family can contribute to the development of diabetes in children. A correlation between such mental duress and diabetes-related autoimmune activity has been established in studies at Linköping University. The studies involve 17,000 children born in 1997-99 and their parents. In blood samples from the... view more... (2004-02-27)
Taking the wrinkles out of motoneuronal disease
A winner of UniQuest's 2006 Trailblazer innovation competition, Dr Frederic Meunier, is developing a treatment for motoneuronal diseases based on modifying botox —the popular anti-wrinkle treatment. view more (2006-07-06)
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)
Hopes raised for effectiveness of multiple sclerosis drug
Discovery of the mechanism of a drug being tested for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has revealed that it's not only more effective than first thought, but might also help in the management of other autoimmune diseases, organ transplant rejection and even cancer. view more (2006-03-29)
Geisinger research: Antimalarial drug prevents diabetes in arthritis patients
The use of an antimalarial medication may prevent the onset of diabetes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, new Geisinger research shows. view more (2008-10-29)
Best treatment for MS may depend on disease subtype
Animal studies by University of Michigan scientists suggest that people who experience the same clinical signs of multiple sclerosis (MS) may have different forms of the disease that require different kinds of treatment. view more (2008-07-02)
Researchers discover key mechanism by which lethal viruses Ebola and Marburg cause disease
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Caribbean Primate Research Center have discovered a key mechanism by which the Filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, cause disease. view more (2006-10-17)
Parasitic tropical diseases in the Americas, a legacy of slavery, can be eliminated
Although it has been speculated for more than a century that the slave trade was responsible for bringing many tropical diseases to the Americas, only recently has convincing evidence shown that lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), schistosomiasis, and onchocerciasis (river blindness) originated in this way. view more (2007-11-07)
Antibody to a naturally-occurring sugar chain in colon inhibits inflammatory bowel disease
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. view more (2005-10-07)
Suspected cause of type 1 diabetes caught
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis working with diabetic mice have examined in unprecedented detail the immune cells long thought to be responsible for type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-05-12)
An ethical argument: Include pregnant women in research
Why aren't pregnant women included in most clinical trials? That's the question posed by leading bioethicists at Duke University Medical Center, Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities, who say it's time to confront the challenges that have led to the exclusion of pregnant women from important research that could positively impact maternal and... view more...

Old mystery solved, revealing origin of regulatory T cells that 'police' and protect the body
More than 150 years after the discovery of Hassall's corpuscles in 1849, the function of these round blobs of cells in the human thymus gland has now been explained. The answer, in turn, ends an intense hunt for the origin of regulatory T cells that has been under way for years. view more (2005-10-13)
Immune responses spread from one protein to another in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. view more (2006-12-04)
Chronic diseases linked to falls in elderly women
Elderly women with chronic diseases, such as arthritis and depression, are at higher risk of falling, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In fact, chronic diseases may account for 30% of falls in this group. Researchers at the University of Bristol surveyed 4,050 women aged 60-79 years about whether they had had a fall in the previous 12 months, how... view more... (2003-09-24)
Press conference: 31st European Symposium On Calcified Tissue, 7 June 2004
At the Acropolis Convention Centre, Nice, France. Bone diseases are an important cause of ill health. The most common is osteoporosis which affects 200 million women around the world and accounts for billions in healthcare treatment costs. Other diseases are less common but cause bone pain, deformity and fracture. view more (2004-03-17)
