Immune system activated in schizophrenia
Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have discovered that patients with recent-onset schizophrenia have higher levels of inflammatory substances in their brains. Their findings offer hope of being able to treat schizophrenia with drugs that affect the immune system. view more (2009-11-18)
ESC Congress 2003: Inflammatory genes: "bad genes" for atrial fibrillation?
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Atrial fibrillation is characterized by rapid and irregular activation of the atrium. Data from the... view more... (2003-08-31)
New therapeutic target identified for rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have identified a potential new therapeutic target that could be used to treat inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-11-05)
Researchers led by Penn vet uncover the delicate protein balance behind the immune system response
A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has identified the protein interactions involved in the immune system process that fights infection yet, in certain inflammatory diseases, runs amok and attacks friendly tissue. view more (2007-12-11)
Gene therapy demonstrates benefit in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers have reported the first clinical evidence that gene therapy reduces symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an important milestone for this promising treatment which has endured a sometimes turbulent past. view more (2009-01-27)
Gene increases risk of tuberculosis
A study in the December 19 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine identifies a small genetic change that increases the odds of developing active tuberculosis (TB). view more (2005-12-12)
Improved immune diagnostics
With many forms of illness, such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, the success of therapy can be shown by the absence or presence of certain cells and the proteins they produce. Today, this can be ascertained in a number of different ways. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research... view more... (2000-01-27)
Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold, Don't Be Stressed
Whether it's getting a cold during exam time or feeling run-down after a big meeting, we've all experienced feeling sick following a particularly stressful time at work or school. Is this merely coincidence, or is it possible that stress can actually make us sick? view more (2009-07-21)
Immune genes adapt to parasites
Thank parasites for making some of our immune proteins into the inflammatory defenders they are today. view more (2009-05-26)
Endothelin-1 inhibitors in chronic pancreatitis
Fibrosis is a key feature of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins fosters the development of an exocrine and endocrine organ insufficiency, and accelerates progression of the tumour. view more (2009-09-17)
Cytokine resistance contributes to pathology of type 2 diabetes
In a study appearing this month in the Journal of Immunology, researchers at the University of Illinois describe how an impaired anti-inflammatory response plays a role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-06-18)
Elevated biomarkers predict risk for prostate cancer recurrence
A simple blood test screening for a panel of biomarkers can accurately predict whether a patient who has had prostate cancer surgery will have a recurrence or spread of the disease. view more (2008-06-26)
Identification of genetic markers for ulcerative colitis could lead to treatment
An international consortium of researchers, including major contribution from a team led by Dr. John D. Rioux, a professor of medicine at the Université de Montréal and the Montreal Heart Institute, has identified genetic markers associated with risk for ulcerative colitis. view more (2009-01-09)
White blood cell plays key role in body's excessive repair response to asthma - Airway scarring can be disrupted by targeting eosinophils
Researchers in London and Montreal report today that they have discovered an important link in the development of the body's response to allergic asthma. They have found that one type of white blood cell, an eosinophil, which was known to cause inflammation of lung airways, is also responsible for driving the process which leads to an excessive... view more...

Children's Hospital scientists identify possible target for prevention and treatment of pneumonia
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a key protein target that may be a crucial factor in the development of a vaccine to prevent and new therapies to treat pneumonia, the leading killer of children worldwide. view more (2008-02-12)
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)
New genetic markers for ulcerative colitis identified, researchers report in Nature Genetics
An international team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers has identified genetic markers associated with risk for ulcerative colitis. view more (2009-01-05)
An herbal extract inhibits the development of pancreatic cancer
An herb recently found to kill pancreatic cancer cells also appears to inhibit development of pancreatic cancer as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties, according to researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. view more (2009-04-20)
Genetic factors are linked to fever following smallpox vaccination
New evidence supports the link between genetic factors and certain adverse events related to smallpox vaccination. view more (2007-06-14)
Men at increased risk of death from pneumonia compared to women
Men who come to the hospital with pneumonia generally are sicker than women and have a higher risk of dying over the next year, despite aggressive medical care. view more (2008-05-19)
