Study reveals body's defense mechanism worsens asthma symptoms
MUHC scientists have discovered that our body's own defense mechanism causes some of the most serious asthma symptoms. view more (2005-08-12)
A double-barreled immune cell approach for neuroblastoma
Adding an artificial tumor-specific receptor to immune system cells called T-lymphocytes that target a particular virus extended and improved the cells' ability to fight a form of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma, said researchers form Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital in a report that appears online today in the... view more...

Healthy human immune system cells can respond to HIV-1
AIDS patients' failure to clear HIV-1 might not be due to the inability of the human immune system to recognise the virus, as was previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
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)
Better vaccines with special cells
More effective vaccines will be developed as a result of research at the University of Dundee which is harnessing the skills of special cells in the body`s immune response process. The Medical Research Council has awarded Professor Colin Watts and his colleagues £1.2 million to fund work on key cells in our immune system called dendritic... view more... (2002-02-25)
Female Sterility And Local Immunity
Extracorporal fertilisation applied to sterility treatment has become not only a rescue for a lot of women, but also a convenient research method for physicians. The method can help detect previously unknown reasons for female sterility. The number of sterile married couple is growing worldwide: 20 to 30 percent of sterility cases are caused by... view more... (2004-04-16)
Glue inside the cell: Ubiquitin builds up an immune response
Ubiquitin is a small protein, which can be attached to other cellular proteins, a process known as ubiquitination. Discoveries in the 1980 th on a key function of ubiquitination in the regulation of protein degradation where awarded with the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2004. view more (2007-10-22)
Deficient regulators in the immune system responsible for type 1 diabetes
The main regulators of the immune system, called CD4+Treg cells, are thought to be highly involved in a large range of immune diseases. view more (2008-01-25)
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 division find prompts overhaul of immune response modelling
Research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute into the mechanics of how two types of white blood cells grow and die is fundamentally changing the development of computer models that are used to predict how immune system cells respond to a pathogenic threat. view more (2009-07-21)
Research team develops cancer-curing T-lymphocyte-based therapy to eradicate malignant tumours
Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montréal, has succeeded in developing a new approach to eradicate malignant melanoma tumours in mice. view more (2005-10-19)
Aggressive stem cells might improve transplant outcome
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in mice a way that might reduce the time it takes for a bone marrow transplant to rebuild a child's immune system, and so reduce the risk of potentially fatal virus infections that can occur during this time. view more (2006-12-08)
How 'memory' T cells curb the spread of viruses throughout the body
A scientific discovery by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers helps explain how "memory" T cells protect the body from viral diseases. view more (2007-06-19)
Major gene study uncovers secrets of leukemia
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered previously unsuspected mutations that contribute to the formation of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common cancer in children. view more (2007-03-08)
UC Davis researchers report new molecule that targets leukemia and lymphoma cells
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have developed a novel peptide that binds to the surface of leukemia and lymphoma cells with extremely high affinity, specificity and stability, and demonstrates remarkable promise as a tool to help image tumors and deliver anti-cancer drugs. view more (2006-06-13)
Cause For Massively Enlarged Spleens In Tropical Countries (p 449)
A previously under-recognised cause of massively enlarged spleens is reported by scientists from Ghana and the UK in this week's LANCET. Enlarged spleens result from many disorders and are common in tropical African countries, but the causes and diagnosis of massive tropical splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) have not been well studied. Dr Imelda... view more... (2002-08-07)
U of MN research shows how infection-fighting cells interact
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified key insights into how different types of infection-fighting T-cells survive and co-exist within the body's immune system. view more (2006-03-06)
Researchers identify a cell type that limits stroke damage
A research team including Serge Rivest of University Laval's Faculty of Medicine has demonstrated the existence of a type of cells that limits brain damage after a stroke. The study was recently published in the online version of Nature Medicine. view more (2009-01-28)
Study looks at using the immune system to reduce prostate cancer risk
Immune therapies have been explored as a way to treat cancer after it develops. view more (2009-09-24)
Combining multiple treatments improves multiple sclerosis therapy
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which white blood cells known as lymphocytes attack the myelin insulation on nerves in the spinal cord and brain. view more (2006-03-17)
