Well-armed immune cells help long-term nonprogressors contain HIV
To help develop an effective HIV vaccine, researchers are trying to better understand how the immune systems of a small minority of HIV-infected people known as long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) contain the virus naturally. view more (2008-12-05)
Sydney researchers explain how stress can make you sick
Garvan Institute scientists have discovered how a hormone, known as neuropeptide Y (NPY), can prevent our immune system functioning properly, paving the way for two new major opportunities for therapeutic intervention. view more (2005-12-05)
Mayo Clinic boosts immune system
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a way to dramatically boost the output of immune system cells from the thymus, which may lead to improved cancer vaccines, as well as to ways to otherwise strengthen immune responses. view more (2005-09-23)
Effective cancer immune therapy through order in the blood vessels
Immune therapies are considered very promising in cancer medicine: Tumor-fighting immune cells are supposed to invade tumor tissue and eliminate cancer cells right there. view more (2008-04-22)
Got zinc? New zinc research suggests novel therapeutic targets
Everyone knows that vitamins "from A to zinc" are important for good health. Now, a new research study in the August 2009 print issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that zinc may be pointing the way to new therapeutic targets for fighting infections. view more (2009-07-31)
In the laboratory, green tea proves a powerful medicine against severe sepsis
A major component of green tea could prove the perfect elixir for severe sepsis, an abnormal immune system response to a bacterial infection. view more (2007-11-09)
Type 1 diabetes triggered by 'lazy' regulatory T-cells: McGill researchers
A research team led by Dr. Ciriaco A. Piccirillo of McGill University's Department of Microbiology and Immunology has discovered that in some individuals, the specialized immunoregulatory T-cells that regulate the body's autoimmune reactions may lose their effectiveness and become "lazy" over time, leading to the onset of type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-01-16)
New study shows antibody-interleukin complexes stimulate immune responses
The findings could also be significant for developing new ways to help patients with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or juvenile diabetes. view more (2006-02-23)
Can you hear me now? Scientists find previously unknown receptors on adult stem cells
For many years, researchers believed that stem cells in the bone marrow spent most of their existence in a slumber-like state, unaware of — and unaffected by — the daily battles fought by the body's immune system. view more (2006-06-21)
Bypassing the insulin highway
An immune cell known as a neutrophil releases a protein that can suppress glucose production in the liver -without targeting insulin, researchers have found. view more (2008-04-28)
Specialized white blood cells coordinate first responders to viral infection
Just as fire engines arrive quickly at the scene to save people and property, the cells that fight viruses have to reach the site of an infection promptly to mount a protective response. view more (2008-04-25)
Children's National researchers develop novel anti-tumor vaccine
A novel anti-tumor vaccine for neuroblastoma and melanoma developed by scientists and clinicians at Children's National Medical Center in collaboration with investigators from the University of Iowa is showing significant impact on tumor growth in mice. view more (2008-10-03)
Protein helps immune cells to divide and conquer
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a key protein that is required for immune cells called B lymphocytes to divide and replicate themselves. The rapid generation of large numbers of these immune cells is critical to the body's antibody defense mechanism. view more (2009-03-09)
Mice help researchers understand Chlamydia
Genetically engineered mice may hold the key to helping scientists from Queensland University of Technology and Harvard hasten the development of a vaccine to protect adolescent girls against the most common sexually transmitted disease, Chlamydia. view more (2007-10-30)
Development of DNA drugs gives hope to lupus patients
A generation of DNA-like compounds, class R inhibitory oligonucleotides (INH-ODNs), have been shown to effectively inhibit cells responsible for the chronic autoimmune condition lupus. view more (2009-05-28)
Immune cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis have prematurely aged chromosomes
Telomeres, structures that cap the ends of cells' chromosomes, grow shorter with each round of cell division unless a specialized enzyme replenishes them. Maintaining telomeres is thought to be important for healthy aging and cancer prevention. view more (2009-03-05)
OHSU research suggests new strategy for protecting aging Americans against infectious disease
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered new information about the body's immune system in a study that suggests new strategies may be in order for protecting the country's aging population against disease. view more (2007-12-18)
The downside to diversification
Dr. Dale Ramsden and colleagues at UNC-Chapel Hill report in the June 15th issue of G&D on the potential contribution of V(D)J recombination to genomic instability and cancer formation. view more (2006-06-15)
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)
St. Jude finds molecule that could improve cancer vaccines and therapy for other diseases
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a new signaling molecule that prevents immune responses from running amok and damaging the body. view more (2007-11-26)
