Duke scientists create airway spheres to study lung diseases
Using both animal and human cells, Duke University Medical Center scientists have demonstrated that a single lung cell can become one of two very different types of airway cells, which could lead to a better understanding of lung diseases. view more (2009-07-29)
Baffling the body into accepting transplants
An unexpected discovery made by a Sydney scientist has potential to alter the body's response to anything it perceives as not 'self', such as a tissue or organ transplant. view more (2009-01-21)

Genetic study confirms the immune system's role in narcolepsy
Scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health have identified a gene associated with narcolepsy, a disorder that causes disabling daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, irresistible bouts of sleep that can strike at any time, and disturbed sleep at night. view more (2009-05-04)
Immune cells contribute to the development of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs movement, balance, speech, and other functions. It is characterized by the loss of nerves in the brain that produce a substance known as dopamine. view more (2008-12-23)
Rapid restoration of immunity in immune-suppressed cancer patients using T-cell vaccines
Patients with multiple myeloma suffer from a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in their bone marrow. view more (2005-10-21)
For cancer cells, genetics alone is poor indicator for drug response
In certain respects, cells are less like machines and more like people. True, they have lots of components, but they also have lots of personality. For example, when specific groups of people are studied in aggregate (conservatives, liberals, atheists, evangelicals), they appear to be fairly uniform and predictable. But when looked at one person... view more... (2009-04-13)
Scientists can now differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells
One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. view more (2009-01-06)

Stress may help cancer cells resist treatment, research shows
Scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that the stress hormone epinephrine causes changes in prostate and breast cancer cells that may make them resistant to cell death. view more (2007-04-11)
HIV infection requires an accomplice: B cells with special protein direct HIV to T cells
HIV infection of T cells requires activation of a molecule on the surface of B cells, a finding that reveals yet another pathway the virus uses in its insidious attack on the immune system. view more (2006-08-14)
Human stem cells delay start of Lou Gehrig's disease in rats
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that transplanting human stem cells into spinal cords of rats bred to duplicate Lou Gehrig's disease delays the start of nerve cell damage typical of the disease and slightly prolongs life. view more (2006-10-16)
Parental Smoking Around Time Of Conception Linked To Reduction In Male Births (p 1407)
Couples who smoke around the time of conception could have a reduced chance of conceiving male offspring, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The male to female ratio of children has declined substantially over the past few decades. The reason for this reduction is not clear, but it has been suggested that... view more... (2002-04-17)
