Key to out-of-control immune response in lung injury found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered how a protein modulates the inflammatory response in sudden, life-threatening lung failure. The protein's previously unknown role is reported in the August issue of Nature Medicine. view more (2007-08-17)
Vitamin D found to fight placental infection
In a paper available at the online site of the journal Biology of Reproduction, a team of UCLA researchers reports for the first time that vitamin D induces immune responses in placental tissues by stimulating production of the antimicrobial protein cathelicidin. view more (2008-12-02)
Glue Ear Could Be Caused By Gastric Juices (p 493)
Glue ear-a frequent cause of deafness in children-could be a result of gastric reflux, which results in stomach proteins accumulating in the middle ear via the Eustachian tube, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2002-02-06)
Bid To Aid Diagnosis Of Infections In Joint Replacement Surgery
A team of scientists and doctors at the University of Edinburgh are using new laboratory techniques which will lead to improved treatment for patients experiencing problems with joint replacement. The multi-disciplinary team will try to establish if using molecular techniques can set a 'gold standard' to allow doctors to know before surgery is... view more... (2002-04-24)
The balance shifts
The risk of contracting a Clostridium difficile infection following operations for which a "prophylactic" antibiotic is given to prevent infection is 21 times greater now than it was just a decade ago, according to researchers from the University of Sherbrooke in Canada. They report their findings in the June 15 issue of Clinical... view more... (2008-05-28)
Is obesity an oral bacterial disease?
The world-wide explosion of overweight people has been called an epidemic. The inflammatory nature of obesity is widely recognized. view more (2009-07-09)
Quick Test for Polluted Environments
The "Biotool" project seeks to use bacterial marker molecules for predictions view more (2005-01-18)
Helicobacter pylori - the key behind its recognition is somewhere else
The first step against infection is the detection of microorganisms capable of causing disease. This is done through the recognition of molecular structures not shared by the host, but also present in other harmless or even useful microbes. A question that has puzzled scientists for many years is how the host knows exactly against which microbes... view more... (2004-10-29)
Chronic HIV-1 infection frequently fails to protect against superinfection
Natural HIV-1 infection does not always elicit a protective immune response, according to a new study published November 16 in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-11-16)
German researchers make significant strides in identifying cause of bacterial infections
Several bacterial pathogens use toxins to manipulate human host cells, ultimately disturbing cellular signal transduction. Until now, however, scientists have been able to track down only a few of the proteins that interact with bacterial toxins in infected human cells. view more (2009-04-23)
Study aims to cut deaths from severe infection in hospital wards
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are aiming to reduce the risks posed by a life-threatening condition which affects four in ten of Scottish intensive care patients. view more (2006-06-08)
Forsyth scientists suggest linkages between obesity and oral bacterial infection
A scientific team from The Forsyth Institute has discovered new links between certain oral bacteria and obesity. view more (2009-07-09)
OHSU eye doctor says laser surgery safer than contacts
Traditional assumptions have held that contact lenses are safer than laser surgery to correct vision problems. view more (2006-10-10)
Protein research could lead to new meningitis vaccine
New technology is leading to a vaccine against Group B Streptococci (GBS), a common cause of meningitis as well as a frequent cause of pneumonia in newborns. Key proteins have been found that can kick-start the immune system to fight these bacteria, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General... view more...

UCR-led study identifies crucial mechanism involved in immune response against viruses
A research team led by UC Riverside scientists has shown that the common fruit fly can serve as an excellent model for studying the immunity animals are born with for fighting viral infections. view more (2006-03-24)
Virus product could kill anthrax and beat antibiotic resistance
Researchers from Rockefeller University, New York, have developed a new way of killing dangerous bacteria like the ones which cause anthrax and pneumonia, using products from a virus, according to new research presented today (Tuesday, 07 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2007-09-14)
Cigarette smoke may alter immune response in COPD exacerbations
Smoking cigarettes is not only the principle cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it may change the body's immune responses to bacteria that commonly cause exacerbations of the disease, according to new research in a mouse model. view more (2009-04-07)
Ashwell receptor reduces mortality during sepsis
In research that solves the longest-standing mystery in glycobiology - a field that studies complex sugar chains called glycans - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a molecule in the liver of all animals, called the Ashwell receptor, is critical in helping the body fight off the abnormal... view more...

Scientists discover toxin that causes gastro disease
Australian scientists have identified a highly potent toxin that causes severe gastrointestinal illnesses, including food poisoning. view more (2006-10-11)
