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)
UBC researchers identify key behavior of immune response to Listeria
A team of University of British Columbia microbiologists has identified a key defence mechanism used by the immune system against Listeria with strong implications for the future development of vaccines. view more (2009-10-06)
Biodegradable microspheres deliver time release vaccines, stimulate different immune response
A new vaccine delivery system using microspheres of a biodegradable polymer may not only reduce the need for booster shots in some cases, but also appears to stimulate an immune response that traditional vaccines do not. view more (2007-03-01)
Scans show immune cells intercepting parasites
Researchers may have identified one of the body's earliest responses to a group of parasites that causes illness in developing nations. view more (2008-12-11)
Study shows cancer vaccines led to long-term survival for patients with metastatic melanoma
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian today announced promising data from a clinical study showing patient-specific cancer vaccines derived from patients' own cancer cells and immune cells were well tolerated and resulted in impressive long-term survival rates in patients with metastatic melanoma whose disease had been minimized by other therapies. view more (2009-07-29)
Trojan horse for ovarian cancer -- nanoparticles turn immune system soldiers against tumor cells
In a feat of trickery, Dartmouth Medical School immunologists have devised a Trojan horse to help overcome ovarian cancer, unleashing a surprise killer in the surroundings of a hard-to-treat tumor. view more (2009-07-16)
Arteries from distinct regions of the body have unique immune functions
Human arteries play distinct roles in the immune system depending on their anatomical location, researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have discovered. view more (2008-09-04)
Knowledge of dendritic cells branches out
Dendritic cells (or "DC" ) are specialised white blood cells that patrol the body, searching for infections. view more (2006-05-09)
Research Will Push Forward Fight Against Leukaemia
A project which aims to make laboratory-grown leukaemia cells change form and then be used to prime a patient's own immune system to kill off malignant cells has begun in Edinburgh. If successful, the study could give clinicians a way of destroying residual leukaemic cells which are undetectable by microscope. The findings could be helpful in the... view more... (2002-10-25)
Study identifies biomarker that safely monitors tumor response to new brain cancer treatment
A specific biomarker, a protein released by dying tumor cells, has been identified as an effective tool in an animal model to gauge the response to a novel gene therapy treatment for glioblastoma mulitforme. view more (2009-07-01)
UC Davis study with mice links thimerosal with immune system dysfunction
A team of cell biologists, toxicologists and molecular bioscientists at UC Davis has published a study connecting thimerosal with disruptions in antigen-presenting cells known as dendritic cells obtained from mice. view more (2006-03-21)
Microscopic 'beads' could help create 'designer' immune cells that ignore transplanted organs
The future of organ transplantation could include microscopic beads that create "designer" immune cells to help patients tolerate their new organ, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-07-07)
Short-term stress can affect learning and memory
Short-term stress lasting as little as a few hours can impair brain-cell communication in areas associated with learning and memory, University of California, Irvine researchers have found. view more (2008-03-12)
M.D. Anderson-led team reports possible key to autoimmune disease
A human peptide that acts as a natural antibiotic against invading microbes can also bind to the body's own DNA and trigger an immune response in the absence of an infection, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in an early online publication in Nature. view more (2007-09-17)
New approach to vaccine development provides potent, long-lasting immunity
The field of vaccine development is getting a boost from new research that has identified a promising vaccine delivery approach, which in animal studies produced long-term immune protection after just one immunization. view more (2006-05-24)
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)
Not just a long distance relationship: immune cells in skin fight off infection better than the rest
Scientists at the University of Melbourne have discovered the local action of immune cells in the skin, which could improve treatment of viral skin infections. view more (2009-04-08)
A chemotherapy drug packs a one-two punch
Cancer can be wily, and those who treat the disease have amassed a wide array of weapons with which to fight it and kill tumors. view more (2007-02-21)
Therapeutic vaccine for ovarian cancer in clinical trials
Prima BioMed (ASX: PRR) announced today at the "Thank You" Day celebration at Sydney Children's Hospital that it has completed initial recruitment of its Phase IIa clinical trial in ovarian cancer at the Austin Hospital. view more (2005-10-12)
Chemical guidance of T cells leads to immunologic memory and long-term immunity
In the latest issue of the journal Nature, scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) describe a new understanding about how long-term immunity works-findings that may lead to new ways of thinking about how to enhance certain immune responses and how to improve... view more...
