Cancer-causing virus associated with higher risk of new HIV infection
Infection with anal human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can cause anal and cervical cancers, is associated with a higher risk of new HIV infection in previously HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM), according to new UCSF research. view more (2009-05-01)
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)
Goodbye needle, hello smoothie
Instead of a dreaded injection with a needle, someday getting vaccinated against disease may be as pleasant as drinking a yogurt smoothie. view more (2009-03-18)
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)
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)
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)
Building memories with actin
Memories aren't made of actin filaments. But their assembly is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synapse sensitivity that researchers think helps to lay down memories. view more (2009-07-13)
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 increasing in tropical countries. view more (2006-12-26)
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 imbalanced immune system and exaggerated inflammatory... view more... (2007-05-03)
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)
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 availability of neural stem cells derived from... view more... (2004-07-07)
Glass You Can Build With
The normal structure of metals is crystalline. Glass, on the other hand, is amorphous. But it's possible to make amorphous forms of metal, metallic glasses, which can be remarkably strong, having many properties equal to or better than their crystalline metal cousins. The catch is that bulk metallic glasses are highly susceptible to fatigue, a... view more... (2009-03-24)
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)
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 glioblastoma multiforme and other types of brain... view more...

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)
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 humans. view more (2005-11-28)
What makes an axon an axon?
Inside every axon is a dendrite waiting to get out. Hedstrom et al. converted mature axons into dendrites by banishing a protein crucial for neuron development. view more (2008-11-10)
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 with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). view more (2006-06-22)
