Old antibiotic may find new life as a stroke treatment
Minocycline appears to reduce stroke damage in multiple ways - inhibiting white blood cells and enzymes that, at least acutely, can destroy brain tissue and blood vessels, respectively, says Dr. David Hess, chair of the Department of Neurology in the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine.   view more (2008-05-20)

Preventing toxic side effects of inflammatory disease therapy
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a mouse model that could help scientists develop better drugs to fight autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.   view more (2006-02-09)

A small protein may have a big role in helping you make more bone and less fat, researchers say.   view more (2008-07-02)

MRC Scientists Unlock One of the Secrets of Inflammation Offering Hope of New Treatments for Arthritis, Asthma and Cancer
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have unravelled the structure and function of a common protein molecule at the heart of the process of inflammation. The discovery, published today (February 27 2004) in Molecular Cell, provides an exciting platform for research into the development of... view more... (2004-02-25)

Daily Hassles Are Reported More Frequently In Chronic Fatigue Patients
A report published by a group of Dutch investigators of the University of Lenven and Tilburg suggests a role of stress in chronic fatigue syndrome. This study aimed at providing insight in the frequency, emotional impact and nature of daily hassles, experienced by patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and/or fibromyalgia (FM),... view more...

Guidance of Primordial Germ Cell Migration by the Chemokine SDF-1
Identification of the molecular cues governing cell migration is of major importance for the understanding of tissue and organ development and for therapy in cases of diseases resulting from aberrant cell movement. Primordial Germ Cell (PGC) migration is a useful model for studying directional cell movement. During embryonic development, PGCs have... view more... (2002-11-27)

Telephone questionnaire makes best use of resources
Telephone-based questionnaires, administered by trained lay-people, could prove more accurate and less costly than current case detection surveys for rheumatoid disease, French researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), Professor... view more... (2001-06-14)

Loss of sleep, even for a single night, increases inflammation in the body
Loss of sleep, even for a few short hours during the night, can prompt one's immune system to turn against healthy tissue and organs.   view more (2008-09-03)

In vitro models will minimize animal use in arthritis studies
It's hard to think of scientists in laboratories working toward solutions for medical problems without mice or other laboratory animals, but animals' roles in at least one major research laboratory may soon be minimal.   view more (2007-10-18)

Heart disease most expensive disease in UK, costing more than £7 billion a year
Coronary heart disease is the most expensive disease in the UK, costing over £7 billion a year in lost productivity and its impact on health care, reveals research in Heart.   view more (2002-11-18)

Complexity of Crohn's disease revealed as 'gene' count tops 30
New research has trebled the number of genetic regions known to be implicated in Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, to over thirty.   view more (2008-06-30)

Phase 3 data show golimumab improved psoriatic arthritis symptoms
Patients with active psoriatic arthritis receiving monthly subcutaneous (SC) injections of golimumab (CNTO 148) experienced significant and sustained improvements in the joint and skin manifestations of the disease.   view more (2007-11-08)

SLU researchers show how to stop muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis
Severe muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis - a highly debilitating autoimmune disorder - can be prevented or reversed by blocking a key step in the immune response that brings on the disease, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found.   view more (2007-12-21)

Watery pools in bone marrow key to psoriatic arthritic damage
Researchers have learned more about how a leading drug prevents certain types of arthritis from eating away at bone, according to a study published in the March edition of the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2008-03-04)

Scientists discover gene that controls speed of tuberculosis development
Scientists at the MUHC have discovered a gene that controls the speed at which patients develop tuberculosis-the first time such a gene has been discovered for this disease.   view more (2005-08-17)

Stubborn ulcerative colitis responds to arthritis drug, review finds
In good news for patients with stubborn cases of ulcerative colitis, a serious intestinal disorder, a new research review suggests that the drug infliximab can be a useful alternative if other treatments don't work.   view more (2006-09-12)

Psoriasis associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality
The skin disease psoriasis is associated with atherosclerosis (a buildup of plaque in the arteries) characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease and an increased risk of death.   view more (2009-06-16)

Potential autoimmunity-inducing cells found in healthy adults
It's not just patients with autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that have self-attacking immune cells-healthy people have them too, according to a new report in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.   view more (2008-12-22)

Pest control research leads to pain control discovery
A newly discovered enzyme inhibitor, identified by researchers originally looking for biological pest controls, may lead to pain relief for sufferers of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.   view more (2006-08-29)

Novel DNA microarray chip predicts functional impairment and remission in rheumatoid arthritis
A new DNA microarray chip can predict severe disability and remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France. The chip (called the 'ARTchip') has yielded two clinical-genetic models of RA outcomes, to assist physicians in... view more... (2008-06-16)
