New study on childhood asthma shows home-based interventions are cost-effective
New data suggest that a home-based environmental intervention program is a cost-effective way to improve the health of inner-city children who have moderate to severe asthma. view more (2005-10-12)
Scientists aim to thwart use of flu as bioweapon
This week in Rochester, scientists are discussing ways to better understand the flu and also how to prevent the possibility that terrorists could somehow modify flu as a bioweapon to make it even more lethal than it is already. view more (2006-06-22)
Survey highlights extent of NHS doctor-manager divide
Doctors and managers differ widely in their views about the state of doctor-manager relationships in the NHS, with chief executives being the most optimistic and clinical directors the least, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-03-19)
New lab test offers better prediction of HIV microbicide safety
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have devised a laboratory test for predicting whether microbicides against HIV are safe for human use. view more (2009-07-10)
Life Sciences Directory Online - FREE
Consisting of 14,000 names, this unique resource was previously only available to members of the participating societies in printed format. The Life Sciences Directory is the joint membership directory of: view more (1999-12-01)
Natural mechanism for immune suppression paves way for cancer trials
A natural mechanism pirated by tumors and HIV to evade the immune response is opening the door to better treatment for these conditions, researchers say. view more (2007-03-29)
UCSF finds potential new antibody treatment for autoimmune diseases
Scientists at UCSF have discovered an abnormality in a patient's immune system that may lead to safer therapies for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and colitis, as well as potential new ways to treat transplant rejection. view more (2009-01-23)
New immune cell found to be a key to inflammatory diseases
The molecular roots of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as asthma, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis (MS) have been discovered by a team of researchers led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-10-03)
Researchers identify molecule that causes destructive lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a protein that is critical to the development of inflammation during lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). view more (2006-11-07)
Protein's effects essential for kidney-to-bladder urine transfer
Tests of a protein's role in the immune system have revealed a surprising connection to a kidney problem that occurs in approximately one percent of all live births. view more (2006-12-27)
Procedure cures some diabetic mice, but not in the way previously reported
Researchers attempting to reproduce a controversial 2003 mouse experiment suggestive of a cure for type 1 diabetes have found evidence that the experimental procedure does eliminate diabetic symptoms in a small fraction of the mice exposed to it. view more (2006-03-24)
Arthritis drug might prove effective in fighting the flu, study suggests
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found that an approved drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis reduces severe illness and death in mice exposed to the Influenza A virus. view more (2009-05-27)
Evidence of estrogen and progesterone hormone allergy has been discovered by Texas researchers
Some women with menstrual cycle disorders like asthma and migraine headaches may be experiencing allergies to their own estrogen and progesterone hormones, Texas researchers have discovered. view more (2006-03-31)
Head and neck cancer vaccine targets proteins to create immune response
Most attempts to create therapeutic cancer vaccines are based on custom-made approaches that use a patient's own tumor cells to generate a strong immune response against cancer. However, developing these kinds of personalized vaccines is time-consuming, expensive and often impractical. view more (2007-04-18)
A molecule impedes the destruction of the 'Brucella' bacteria
Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). view more (2005-06-15)
Regulatory B cells exist -- and pack a punch
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have uncovered definitive evidence that a small but potent subset of immune system B cells is able to regulate inflammation. view more (2008-05-28)
Key molecular signaling switch involved in allergic disease identified
A research team has identified a key enzyme responsible for triggering a chain of events that results in allergic reaction, according to new study findings published online this week in Nature Immunology. view more (2006-10-30)
Researchers investigate ways to detect lupus-associated kidney disease
High urinary levels of certain molecules might have the potential to serve as biomarkers for a potentially life-shortening kidney ailment caused by the autoimmune disease lupus, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-11-14)
Research suggests beta agonists may alter the immune system
New research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests that certain inhaled asthma medications - as well as similar chemicals our bodies produce during times of high stress - may worsen diseases such as asthma, heart failure and lupus that involve inflammation. view more (2006-11-17)
Not Just for Depression Anymore
Prozac is regularly prescribed to ease the emotional pain of patients who are being treated for cancer. But can this common anti-depressant help to fight cancer itself? view more (2008-12-19)
