University of Pittsburgh discovers genetic 'shut down' trigger in healthy immune cells
A fundamental genetic mechanism that shuts down an important gene in healthy immune system cells has been discovered that could one day lead to new therapies against infections, leukemia and other cancers.   view more (2007-05-10)

Discovery in 'Bubble Boy' disease gene therapy
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have developed a mouse model of a severe disease of the immune system that helps explain why gene therapy used to treat children with this disease at an institution in Europe caused some of them to develop leukemia.   view more (2006-08-02)

Long-term narcotics use for back pain may be ineffective and lead to abuse
Narcotic drugs (opioids) are commonly prescribed for short-term relief of chronic back pain, but their effectiveness long-term has been questioned in a review article by researchers at Yale School of Medicine, who also found that behaviors consistent with opioid abuse was reported in 24 percent of cases.   view more (2007-01-18)

UAB Researchers Discover Antibody Receptor Identity, Propose Renaming Immune-System Gene

Hormone irregularities linked to chronic migraine
Hormonal irregularities may explain why migraine becomes chronic, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Around 3 per cent of the population are chronic migraineurs, suffering pounding headaches for around 15 days a month. Hourly blood samples were taken from 17 chronic migraine sufferers, three of whom were men.... view more... (2001-11-23)
