Immunity in social amoeba suggests ancient beginnings
Finding an immune system in the social amoeba (Dictyostelium discoideum) is not only surprising but it also may prove a clue as to what is necessary for an organism to become multicellular, said the Baylor College of Medicine researcher who led the research that appears today in the journal Science. view more (2007-08-03)
Seemingly suicidal stunt is normal rite of passage for immune cells
Researchers have shown that self-induced breaks in the DNA of immune cells known as lymphocytes activate genes that cause the cells to travel from where they're made to where they help the body fight invaders. view more (2008-10-21)
Cell surface receptors are all 'talk' in T cell stimulation
Understanding the mechanisms that drive healthy immune responses is important when it comes to combating autoimmune diseases, which occur when cells that should attack invading organisms turn on the body instead. view more (2008-06-13)
Compound in broccoli could boost immune system, says new study
A compound found in broccoli and related vegetables may have more health-boosting tricks up its sleeves, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2007-08-21)
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)
Gene therapy protocol at UCSD activates immune system in patients with leukemia
A research team at the Moores Cancer Center at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) reports that patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who were treated with a gene therapy protocol began making antibodies that reacted against their own leukemia cells. view more (2008-02-12)
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)
Scientists develop mathematical model to predict the immune response to influenza
Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a mathematical model to predict immune responses to infection with influenza A viruses, including novel viruses such as the emergent 2009 influenza A (H1N1). view more (2009-05-14)
Genetic double-agents unmasked
Babraham Institute and Cancer Research UK scientists have discovered that certain enzymes with a key activity in the immune system may be important in stem-cell development, but may also work against us by contributing to the occurrence of cancer. view more (2004-10-26)
New evidence explains poor infant immune response to certain vaccines, says MU researcher
For years, researchers and physicians have known that infants' immune systems do not respond well to certain vaccines, thus the need for additional boosters as children develop. view more (2009-04-02)
University of Pennsylvania Researchers Identify Gatekeeper Involved in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
he road to many an inflammatory disease is guarded by a cytokine messenger protein called interleukin-27, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Chronic inflammation results when the immune system becomes over stimulated and begins attacking healthy tissue in excess. view more (2006-08-22)
Novel test identifies lymphoma patients likely to respond to new therapy
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered a genetic signature identifying cases of lymphoma that are uniquely susceptible to a newly developed molecular targeted therapy. As a result, physicians organizing clinical trials of the new therapy will be able to enroll patients who'll be most likely to... view more... (2007-02-21)
UCLA study uncovers clues for why Graves' disease attacks the eyes
UCLA researchers have uncovered new clues that may explain why Graves' disease (GD) attacks the muscle tissue behind the eyes, often causing them to bulge painfully from their sockets, as in the late actor Marty Feldman. view more (2007-03-01)
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)
How do the rules of immunity change during chronic infections?
After a viral infection, a small percentage of the T cells generated to kill virus-infected cells remain on guard to establish long-term immunity. view more (2007-04-10)
T vs. B: Re-engineered human T cells effectively target and kill cancerous B cells
Human white blood cells, engineered to recognize other malignant immune cells, could provide a novel therapy for patients with highly lethal B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). view more (2007-09-18)
Weizmann Institute suggests that immune cells help to maintain cognition and brain cell renewal
A team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science, led by Prof. Michal Schwartz of the Neurobiology Department, has come up with new findings that may have implications in delaying and slowing down cognitive deterioration in old age. view more (2006-01-16)
Role of the nervous system in regulating stem cells discovered
New study by Mount Sinai researchers may lead to improved stem cell therapies for patients with compromised immune systems due to intensive cancer therapy or autoimmune disease. view more (2006-01-27)
Mayo researchers discover immune system blocker at work in kidney cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a new and deadly player in the most common form of kidney cancer. They've shown that the molecule B7-H4 helps renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grow and spread by blocking the immune system. view more (2006-06-30)
Promising treatment target found in Hodgkin lymphoma
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists have identified a protein that prevents the body's immune system from recognizing and attacking Hodgkin lymphoma cells. view more (2007-07-31)
