Carnegie Mellon MRI technology that non-invasively locates, quantifies specific cells in the body
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) isn't just for capturing detailed images of the body's anatomy. Thanks to novel imaging reagents and technology developed by Carnegie Mellon University scientist Eric Ahrens, MRI can be used to visualize - with "exquisite" specificity - cell populations of... view more (2008-08-22)

Therapy For Mice With Prion Disease Could Offer Benefit To Human Beings With CJD
Authors of a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe a therapeutic treatment which increased the survival time for mice with prion disease. These results could represent a new approach to treating CJD in human beings. The lack of an immune response to prions-the... view more (2002-07-17)

Biologists visualize protein interaction that may initiate viral infection
Biologists at Purdue University have taken a "snapshot" of a Velcro-like protein on a cell's surface just after it attached to the dengue virus, a linkup thought to initiate the early stages of infection.   view more (2006-02-10)

Long-term changes in experience cause neurons to sprout new long-lasting connections
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered that neurons in the brains of mice sprout robust new connections when the animals are adjusting to new experiences.   view more (2006-06-22)

New research team to tackle disease
A new Immunology and Infection Unit, which will research how disease occurs and how our immune systems respond, opens shortly in York. The Unit is a joint venture of the Department of Biology at York and the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). Professor Paul Kaye, who joins the University of York from... view more (2004-03-15)

Blood stem cells fight invaders, study finds
No other stem cell is more thoroughly understood than the blood, or hematopoietic, stem cell.   view more (2007-11-30)

Marrow-derived stem cells deliver new cytokine to kill brain tumor cells, offer protection
Attaching a recently discovered cytokine to neural stem cells derived from bone marrow, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have developed a tool to track and kill malignant brain tumor cells and provide long-term protection against their return.   view more (2006-03-01)

MIT researchers reverse symptoms in mice of leading inherited cause of mental retardation
Researchers at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT have, for the first time, reversed symptoms of mental retardation and autism in mice.   view more (2007-06-26)

Researchers report breakthrough against world's deadliest viruses
Scientists from the Public Health Agency of Canada-with assistance from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases-have developed vaccines against the Ebola and Marburg viruses that have been shown to be effective in non-human primates.   view more (2005-06-06)

Probiotic bacteria can induce monocyte-derived dendritic cells maturation?
Probiotic bacteria are widely used to relieve the symptoms of many disorders such as inflammatory bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and allergies. Probiotic mixtures have also been found to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea.   view more (2008-09-25)

Could skin cells become brain cells? (p 172)
Results of an experimental study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how adult skin cells can be made into precursor nerve cells, with potential implications for the future treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Ethical and practical considerations limit the... view more (2004-07-07)

Minuscule molecules pack a powerful punch
A role for a microRNA in the immune system has been shown by study of one of the world's first microRNA knockout mouse, reported Friday 27 April in Science.   view more (2007-04-27)

Immune system finding paves way for vaccine use in some leukemia, lymphoma cancers
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute have found that an experimental vaccine can prime the immune system to help fight an aggressive form of lymphoma.   view more (2005-08-23)

Dengue and other hemorrhagic fevers: Towards a first potential treatment
Globally, 60 to 100 million people are hit by Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. The most severe form of this disease, which causes blood loss, can lead to a fatal shock-like state (Dengue Shock Syndrome) with or without associated haemorrhage, and is currently... view more (2006-12-26)

Study finds novel vaccine curbs brain tumor growth, increases survival
A novel vaccine has significantly increased life expectancy in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most dangerous type of brain tumor.   view more (2006-04-26)

MIT corrects inherited retardation, autism in mice
Researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have corrected key symptoms of mental retardation and autism in mice.   view more (2007-12-20)

Newborn neurons like to hang with the 'in' crowd
Like any new kid on the block that tries to fit in, newborn brain cells need to find their place within the existing network of neurons.   view more (2007-05-08)

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)

Researchers find that later-life diseases resulting from fetal and infant toxicity have common immune pattern
A Cornell researcher and his wife have conducted the first comprehensive review of later-life diseases that develop in people who were exposed to environmental toxins or drugs either in the womb or as infants. They have found that most of the diseases have two things in common: They involve an... view more (2007-05-03)

Breast Tumors in Mice Eradicated Using Cancer Vaccine
A team from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has shown that by using a cancer vaccine based on the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, they can cure mice with established breast tumors.   view more (2005-09-15)

Cedars-Sinai researchers discover treatment for deadly brain tumors and infections
In a study published in the March 15 issue of The Journal of Immunology, researchers at Board of Governors' Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have developed a way to overcome immune privilege in the brain to eradicate potentially deadly brain tumors such as... view more (2006-03-27)

New vaccine platform may fight infections with causes from influenza to bioterrorism
The development of effective vaccines for people with compromised immune systems may be feasible after all, according to a team of researchers, who demonstrated their approach could protect against pneumocystis pneumonia in mice lacking the same population of immune cells that HIV destroys in... view more (2005-11-28)

Brain works more chaotically than previously thought
The brain appears to process information more chaotically than has long been assumed. This is demonstrated by a new study conducted by scientists at the University of Bonn.   view more (2007-02-28)

Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain.   view more (2008-03-12)

Montreal researchers identify defects of immune cells
Researchers at Université de Montréal and the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) have successfully identified a defective immune cell population that determines susceptibility to candidiasis, a common and often debilitating infection in individuals infected... view more (2006-06-22)
