Protein key to neuro-regeneration
Researchers at the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England, University College London, the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan and Cancer Research UK, have for the first time identified a protein that is key to the regeneration of damage in the peripheral nervous system and which could with further research lead to... view more...

Long term relief from arthritis could evolve from B-cell targeted treatments
Long term relief for arthritis sufferers could be one step closer, thanks to a study of B-cell targeted therapy published today. The study from UCL reveals a major but hitherto poorly acknowledged role for B-cells in the most common and severe form of arthritis to affect younger people. By targeting B-cells, which are part of the body's immune... view more... (2004-06-14)
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)
MRC scientists advance understanding of cell death
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have made an important advance in understanding the biological processes involved when cells are prompted to die. view more (2009-08-14)
Downstate researchers target multiple sclerosis
Researchers at SUNY Downstate Medical Center have developed a substance that inhibits the progress of multiple sclerosis (MS) in an animal model. The agent, a novel calpain inhibitor, can be administered orally. view more (2006-11-22)
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)
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)
Proteins are key to cell death in heart disease, stroke and degenerative conditions
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have gained deeper understanding of two members of a family of proteins called caspases that play a key role in promoting apoptosis, a process in which the cell responds to external signals by essentially committing suicide. view more (2006-02-23)
Epstein-Barr virus may be associated with multiple sclerosis
Young adults with high levels of antibodies against the Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that most often causes mononucleosis, may be more likely to develop multiple sclerosis 15 to 20 years later. view more (2006-04-11)
Subclinical markers predict relapse in juvenile idiopathic arthritis post methotrexate withdrawal
Elevated levels of the inflammatory biomarkers Myeloid Related Protein (MRP) 8/14 predict an increased risk of relapse following withdrawal of methotrexate (MTX) therapy in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who have achieved inactive disease status. view more (2009-06-11)
Unique drug combination may hold the key to reversing Type I diabetes
Promising results from a study that tested a new approach for reversing Type 1 diabetes are being presented this week at the American Diabetes Association's 68th Annual Scientific Session in San Francisco. view more (2008-06-11)
Worm parasite may hold clues in bid for illness and allergy cures
Tiny worms that can trick the body's natural defences could hold the key to new treatments for a range of conditions, including diabetes, asthma and hay fever. view more (2005-11-08)
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)
Blockade of fat hormone helps halt and heal multiple sclerosis
Italian researchers have found that blockade of the hormone leptin, which is primarily produced in fats cells, has beneficial effects on the induction and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice - the animal model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). view more (2006-01-13)
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)
Master gene that switches on disease-fighting cells identified by scientists
The master gene that causes blood stem cells to turn into disease-fighting 'Natural Killer' (NK) immune cells has been identified by scientists, in a study published in Nature Immunology today. view more (2009-09-14)
Penn study finds a new role for RNA in human immune response
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have published the first study to test the role of RNA chemical modifications on immunity. view more (2005-08-24)
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)
Genes in the interferon system important in SLE
Two genes with very strong associations with the disease SLE have been identified by a team of scientists headed by researchers at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University. The findings are being published today on the Web page of the highly prestigious American Journal of Human Genetics. "These findings are probably the... view more... (2005-01-19)
DNA of good bacteria drives intestinal response to infection
A new study shows that the DNA of so-called "good bacteria" that normally live in the intestines may help defend the body against infection. view more (2008-10-03)
