Marrow-derived stem cells deliver new cytokine to kill brain tumor cells, offer protection
Attaching a recently discovered cytokine to neural stem cells derived from bone marrow, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have developed a tool to track and kill malignant brain tumor cells and provide long-term protection against their return. view more (2006-03-01)
New light on the role of microbial pathogens in atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries (32% of all deaths in France, for example), and atherosclerosis is often the underlying process. Genetic and environmental factors (such as smoking, obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol levels) are known to play a role in atherosclerosis, but various lines of... view more... (1999-10-11)
Researchers identify molecule that causes destructive lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a protein that is critical to the development of inflammation during lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). view more (2006-11-07)
Light to moderate drinking reduces risk of cardiac events, death
Older adults who consume one to seven alcoholic beverages a week may live longer and have a reduced risk for cardiac events than those who do not drink-an association that appears independent of the anti-inflammatory effects of alcohol. view more (2006-07-25)

The extent of anatomic coronary artery disease, along with age and the presence of diabetes, is a strong predictor of subsequent death due to any cause and due to coronary artery disease (CAD). view more (2006-02-14)
Pregnancy situations have impact on brain development in pre-term infants
Brain development in infants who are born very prematurely is still incomplete. Factors that cause premature birth may have an impact on the development of the premature infant's brain both during pregnancy and later on after birth. view more (2008-08-28)
Resistance and genetic sensitivity to sleeping sickness
Human African trypanosomiasis, more commonly called sleeping sickness, is induced by a parasite, the trypanosome, transmitted to humans by the bite of an insect, the glossinid tse-tse fly. view more (2006-10-16)
Early treatment of systemic onset JIA with anakinra restores the IL-18 response
First line treatment with anakinra (an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist), results in a 'good' clinical response (ACRp90) in patients newly diagnosed with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and restores the deficient IL-18 response of natural killer (NK) cells. view more (2009-06-15)
Gulf War Syndrome triggered by smells of war
The persistent symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome in the home years later could well be due to a sickness response to the body's immune system being conditioned to the smells, tastes and sounds of war. view more (1998-12-03)
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs, suggests a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Teflon filters were used to collect any particulate matter pollution emitted from gas and electric cookers. The residue was then applied to cultured cells that normally line the fine branching tubes of the lungs. The cells... view more... (2001-02-10)
Early Promise Of New Treatment To Reduce Infection Associated With Chemotherapy (P 275)
Authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose an alternative to antibiotics to treat infection associated with the use of chemotherapy for patients with blood cancer. The toxic effects of chemotherapy cause organisms in the gut to migrate to the bloodstream, frequently resulting in bacterial infection. Michael Ellis and... view more... (2003-01-23)
Poor sleep more dangerous for women

Hopes raised for effectiveness of multiple sclerosis drug
Discovery of the mechanism of a drug being tested for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has revealed that it's not only more effective than first thought, but might also help in the management of other autoimmune diseases, organ transplant rejection and even cancer. view more (2006-03-29)
Combined effect of proteins saves lives in cases of pneumonia
An effective host defence to the most prevalent form of pneumonia is only obtained if two proteins combine their forces. Dutch researcher Anita Rijneveld made this discovery during her PhD research at the Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam. Using mice infected with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the bacterium which causes... view more... (2003-05-16)
Enzyme and vitamin define the yin and yang of asthma
The allergen breathed in by a person with asthma triggers a proteinase or enzyme called MMP7 that activates a cascade of events to prompt an allergic reaction. view more (2009-03-30)
News brief: Effects of aspirin and folic acid on inflammation markers for colorectal adenomas
Unexpectedly, inflammation markers do not appear to be involved with the chemopreventative effect of aspirin on colorectal adenomas, according to a brief communication published online October 12 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2009-10-13)
New clues to healing arthritis caused by traumatic injury
A strain of laboratory mice that has "superhealing" powers has been found to resist inflammation after a knee injury, and also to avoid developing arthritis at the injury site in the long term, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-02-23)
