Keep genome data freely accessible (p 1099)
This week's lead editorial discusses the benefits and potential risks of allowing genomic information to be freely available on the internet-and supports the recent report by the US National Research Council recommending that such information should remain freely accessible to all. view more (2004-09-22)
Flu surveillance boosts control, treatment options, says UAB travel-clinic chief
Because pandemics unfold in unpredictable ways, surveillance of travel-related illness is among the most powerful tools health officials and doctors can use to detect and respond to new pathogens like the novel H1N1 influenza, says the physician who heads the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Travelers' Clinic. view more (2009-10-15)
New magnetic separation technique might detect multiple pathogens at once
A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads hundreds of times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. view more (2007-10-30)
Yale researchers discover Legionnaire microbe's tricks
Yale University researchers have shed new light how bacteria like the ones that cause Legionnaires' disease and Q-fever raise such havoc in human patients. view more (2008-06-20)
Cell Migration And Inflammation
Chronic inflammation comprises a vast array of diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Chronic inflammatory diseases include asthma, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases and allergies, to name but a few. view more (2005-02-23)
Invertebrate immune systems are anything but simple, conference finds
A hundred years since Russian microbiologist Elie Metschnikow first discovered the invertebrate immune system, scientists are only just beginning to understand its complexity. view more (2007-06-21)
Novel Coronavirus Confirmed As Causative Agent Of SARS
Leading scientists worldwide investigating the cause of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) confirm that a novel coronavirus is the primary cause of the disease. The study is published on THE LANCET's website (www.thelancet.com) at 0001 H Tuesday 22 July UK time. SARS was first reported in China in November 2002, with over 8300 cases and 812... view more...

While global warming is fatal to many reefs, some corals are able to fight the heat, Cornell researcher reports
While humans can survive large temperature fluctuations, such species as corals are only comfortable within a 12-degree temperature range. And rising global temperatures appear to be threatening their survival, according to Drew Harvell, Cornell professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. view more (2007-03-05)
Researchers capture bacterial infection on film
Whilst most studies of bacterial infection are done after the death of the infected organism, this system developed by scientists at the University of Bath and University of Exeter is the first to follow the progress of infection in real-time with living organisms. view more (2009-07-28)
Immunologists identify biochemical signals that help immune cells remember how to fight infection
Immunology researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how two biochemical signals play unique roles in promoting the development of a group of immune cells employed as tactical assassins. view more (2009-05-29)
New Scripps Research study finds T-cell multiplication unexpectedly delayed after infection
In a surprising outcome that overturns the conventional wisdom on the body's immune response to infection, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have shown that T cells do not begin proliferation until up to three days after infection. view more (2008-04-11)
Plague agent helps UT Southwestern researchers find novel signaling system in cells
The bacterium that causes bubonic plague would seem unlikely to help medical scientists, but researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have harnessed it to uncover a new regulatory mechanism that inhibits the immune system. view more (2006-05-26)
Strategic Plan maintains UK at Centre of Animal Health Research
The rationale behind the publication of the Strategic Plan is the threat posed by diseases of farm animals to the well-being of every nation in terms of food, animal welfare and public health. The plan highlights the vital need to maintain UK expertise in the infectious diseases of farm animals, given that disease is dynamic and unpredictable,... view more... (2000-02-02)
New Synthetic Molecules Trigger Immune Response to HIV and Prostate Cancer
Researchers at Yale University have developed synthetic molecules capable of enhancing the body's immune response to HIV and HIV-infected cells, as well as to prostate cancer cells. Their findings, published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could lead to novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases. view more (2009-11-06)
Mustard - hot stuff for natural pest control
Researchers, growers and Industry specialists from 22 countries will share the latest research into the use of Brassica species, such as mustard, radish, or rapeseed, to manage soil-borne pests and weeds - a technique known as biofumigation. view more (2008-07-28)
New arenavirus discovered as cause of hemorrhagic fever outbreak in South Africa and Zambia
Scientists at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, the South African National Institute for Communicable Diseases of National Health Laboratory Service (NICD-NHLS), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Roche's 454 Life Sciences Corporation have discovered the new virus responsible for a highly fatal... view more...

New Strategy for Inhibiting Virus Replication
Viruses need living cells for replication and production of virus progeny. Thus far, antiviral therapy primarily targets viral factors but often induces therapy resistance. New improved therapies attempt to targets cellular factors that are essential for viral replication. view more (2009-08-17)
Combination of technologies works best against E. coli
No one weapon in the food-safety arsenal will take out E. coli 0157:H7, a nasty little pathogen that's becoming far too familiar to Americans, say University of Illinois scientists Scott Martin and Hao Feng. view more (2006-12-13)
Viral hitchhiker inhibits Wolbachia bacteria's ability to proliferate
Scientists studying the widespread symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia have long been interested in its ability to proliferate. view more (2006-05-19)
Gene against bacterial attack unravelled
Dutch researcher Joost Wiersinga from AMC Medical Centre in Amsterdam has unravelled a genetic defence mechanism against the lethal bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei. The research is the next step towards a vaccine against this bacterium suitable for bioweapons. view more (2008-10-29)
