Can periodontal disease act as a risk factor for HIV-1?
Today, during the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, convening at the Miami Beach Convention Center, a group of scientists from Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) will present findings suggesting that periodontal disease could act as a risk factor for reactivating latent HIV-1 in affected individuals. view more (2009-04-03)
Sick fish may get sicker
Entire populations of North American fish already are being affected by several emerging diseases, a problem that threatens to increase in the future with climate change and other stresses on aquatic ecosystems, according to a noted U.S. Geological Survey researcher giving an invited talk on this subject today at the Wildlife Disease Association... view more...

Carnegie Mellon researcher proposes development of artificial cells to fight disease
Carnegie Mellon University's Philip LeDuc predicts the use of artificially created cells could be a potential new therapeutic approach for treating diseases in an ever-changing world. view more (2007-02-08)
Researchers study the possible relationship between myopathies and coeliac disease
Inflammatory myopathies are immunological diseases that lead to inflammations in muscular tissue. As of yet, little is known about the cause of these myopathies, but it is believed to be an abnormal immune response by our bodies. view more (2007-02-23)
McMaster researchers discover new mode of how diseases evolve
Researchers of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research have discovered a new way that bacteria evolve into something that can make you sick. view more (2009-02-17)
Kidney function discovery sheds light on genetic complexity of disease
To find a cure for cancer, haemophilia and other diseases, researchers need to be looking for complex, interacting genetic factors, according to the authors of a new study. view more (2008-11-26)
Antibody-altering protein found in developing B cells
In order for the B cells of the immune system to identify and fight disease pathogens, they produce a protein called activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). view more (2007-07-20)
Scientists on track for early diagnosis of neurological diseases
Possible treatments for fatal neurodegenerative diseases such as CJD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's could result from University of Edinburgh research to find out how specific proteins cause deterioration in brain function. The scientists have discovered for the first time that protein 14-3-3 plays a key role in the development of certain brain... view more... (2003-07-01)

Genome study of beneficial microbe may help boost plant health
In a study expected to greatly benefit crop plants, scientists have deciphered the genome of a root- and seed-dwelling bacterium that protects plants from diseases. view more (2005-06-27)
A clue to core problem of neurodegenerative disease and cell death
Misfolded and damaged proteins are common to all human neurodegenerative diseases. Clumps of these aggregated proteins destroy neurons within the brain and cause disease. view more (2006-02-10)
Researchers develop guidelines to establish identity of genes responsible for common, complex diseases
Scientists from Imperial College London, the Medical Research Council, Case Western Reserve University, USA and the Hammersmith Hospital have developed guidelines which scientists can use as a benchmark for proof of identification of the multiple genes responsible for common, complex diseases. Predisposition to common conditions such as asthma,... view more... (2002-12-18)
Study shows most ear infections host both bacteria and viruses
Ear infections are among the most common diseases seen in pediatric practice. They have generally been considered bacterial diseases and are therefore usually treated with antibiotics. view more (2006-11-07)
Prion disease infectivity causes heart damage in mouse study
Laboratory mice infected with the agent of scrapie—a brain-wasting disease of sheep—show high levels of the scrapie agent in their heart several hundred days after being infected in the brain, indicating that heart infection might be a new aspect of this disease. view more (2006-07-07)
Nine Million Deutschmarks for Genome Research in Bonn
The German government will provide funding totalling over 30 million Deutschmarks for the investigation of genetically based diseases of the nervous system during the next three years. The University of Bonn will receive the biggest portion of this sum, nine million marks. Bonn scientists thus benefit from the recently founded national genome... view more... (2001-04-04)
Could autoantibodies predict future disease in healthy people? (pp 1544)
A review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET discusses how autoantibody detection in the blood of healthy individuals could have potential as a marker for future autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus syndrome. Hal Scofield from the Oklahoma Research Foundation, USA, discusses recent evidence suggesting that... view more... (2004-05-05)
