Cancer Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Discover What Makes Lymphomas Tick
University of Pennsylvania researchers and their colleagues at the Wistar Institute and University of Oxford have discovered the molecular process by which the PAX5 protein, necessary for lymphocyte development, promotes the growth of common lymphomas, thereby unveiling a potential new target in the fight against cancer.   view more (2007-08-30)

Molecular fossils uncover link between viruses and the immune system
Researchers from the Viikki Biocenter, University of Helsinki, show that atomic structures can reveal evolutionary history of viruses in a similar fashion as fossils did for the dinosaurs and reptiles. Their article is published in the April 15 issue of Molecular Cell.   view more (2005-04-14)

Women are more likely to suffer recurrent miscarriages if their first child is a boy
Women who give birth to a boy as their first child are more likely to suffer subsequent miscarriages than women whose first baby is a girl, an international conference of fertility experts heard today (Tuesday 1 July). Dr Ole Christiansen, a consultant registrar at the Rigshospitalet Fertility Clinic in Copenhagen, Denmark, told the annual... view more... (2003-06-28)

Technology identified could reduce the spread of rice virus
Building on plant virus research started more than 20 years ago, a biologist at Washington University in St. Louis and his colleague at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis have discovered a technology that reduces infection by the virus that causes Rice Tungro Disease, a serious limiting factor for rice production in Asia.    view more (2009-02-11)

Predicting the pandemic - staying one step ahead of influenza
Studies to identify which influenza virus strains are present in pigs and chickens could help scientists to predict the next human pandemic strain and develop new, more effective, vaccines medical experts heard today (Wednesday 09 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for... view more...

Researchers develop new way to see single RNA molecules inside living cells
Biomedical engineers have developed a new type of probe that allows them to visualize single ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules within live cells more easily than existing methods. The tool will help scientists learn more about how RNA operates within living cells.   view more (2009-04-07)

Genetic breakthrough supercharges immunity to flu and other viruses
Researchers at McGill University have discovered a way to boost an organism's natural anti-virus defences, effectively making its cells immune to influenza and other viruses.   view more (2008-02-14)

Protein splicing upsets the DNA colinearity paradigm
Understanding medical research problems often relies on the direct, linear relationship between the sequence of a protein and the DNA encoding that protein.   view more (2006-09-08)

A key antibody, IgG, links cells' capture and disposal of germs
Scientists have found a new task managed by the antibody that's the workhorse of the human immune system: Inside cells, Immunoglobulin G (IgG) helps bring together the phagosomes that corral invading pathogens and the potent lysosomes that eventually kill off the germs.   view more (2006-11-14)

MIT works toward safer gene therapy
In work that could lead to safe and effective techniques for gene therapy, MIT researchers have found a way to fine-tune the ability of biodegradable polymers to deliver genes.   view more (2007-09-10)

H5N1 threat puts human flu back in spotlight
The emergence of the avian influenza virus H5N1 that is currently devastating chicken flocks in many countries and threatening to unleash a worldwide epidemic among humans has triggered a renewed interest among scientists in studying influenza A viruses.   view more (2006-05-05)

Immune Cell Communication, Cooperation Keys to Hunting Viruses, Jefferson Immunologists Show
Immunologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have used nanotechnology to create a novel 'biosensor' to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how immune system cells called killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses.   view more (2006-10-27)

New technique detects early metastasis of breast cancer
In the U.S., a novel technology soon may be available to detect the spread, or metastasis, of breast cancer earlier than now possible, according to research presented at the first international meeting on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development.   view more (2006-09-14)

Scripps research team identifies key molecules that inhibit viral production
The research, led by Professor Donny Strosberg of Scripps Florida, was published on March 4, 2009, in the Journal of General Virology's advance, online edition, Papers in Press. In the new study, Strosberg and his colleagues describe peptides (molecules of two or more amino acids) derived from the core protein of hepatitis C. The team found that... view more... (2009-03-11)

New protein vital for immune response is found
A newly discovered protein not only is vital to the immune system's ability to fight off viral infections but also has been found in an unexpected location within the cell, causing researchers to rethink previous notions about the workings of the human immune system.   view more (2005-08-26)

The CReSA is working on a new strategy to combat spongiforms
Researchers at the Animal Health Research Centre (CReSA) are developing immunotherapeutical strategies against diseases produced by prion, such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis.   view more (2006-11-01)

Researchers crack final part of the immune system code
A group of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen have developed models of neural networks that make it possible to simulate how the body protects itself from disease and predict the immune system's access codes.   view more (2008-07-11)

AIDS study challenges conventional treatment guidelines for HIV patients
A newly published study by investigators at the Center for AIDS Research at Case Medical Center, led by Benigno Rodríguez, MD, along with a nationwide team of AIDS/HIV experts, strongly challenges conventional thinking about the role of measurements of the amount of HIV particles in the blood as a method of predicting a patient's ability to fight... view more...
