BA Festival: Asthma and the Sinister Infiltrator
Professor Tim Williams, head of the Leukocyte Biology Section, Imperial College School of Medicine, will tell the BA Festival of Science on Tuesday 12 September how asthma may be caused primarily by a body defence system that has gone wrong - when allergens in the air are mistaken by the body for products from parasitic worms. Professor Williams... view more... (2000-09-12)
Statins may prevent miscarriages
Hospital for Special Surgery researchers have found that statins may be able to prevent miscarriages in women who are suffering from pregnancy complications caused by antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), according to a study in mice. view more (2008-10-13)
Immunotherapy demonstrates long-term success in treating lymphoma
Targeted immunotherapy has been an attractive new therapeutic area for a number of cancers because it has the potential to destroy tumor cells without damaging surrounding normal tissue. New study results demonstrate high success rates using specialized white blood cells to prevent or treat lymphoma associated with the Epstein-Barr virus... view more... (2009-11-02)
New bone marrow model could help people with sickle cell disease
A new model showing how sickle cell blood cells operate within bone marrow is presented at a conference in Austria today. Researchers at Imperial College London, who developed the model, hope that it will eventually be used by clinicians to advance more effective treatments for sickle cell disease. This disease causes red blood cells to become... view more... (2005-02-18)
Examining TLR4 influences of B cell response
Chronic inflammation, which is at the root of multiple diseases, links periodontal disease to increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-05-06)
Increased risk of coronary heart disease among UK Indian Asians may be genetic
The increased rates of premature coronary heart disease among UK Indian Asians may be due to genetic or other as yet undiscovered risk factors, rather than the usual suspects, suggests research in Heart. view more (1999-04-26)
Immune exhaustion driven by antigen in chronic viral infection
A main reason why viruses such as HIV or hepatitis C persist despite a vigorous initial immune response is exhaustion. The T cells, or white blood cells, fighting a chronic infection eventually wear out. view more (2009-05-14)
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)
Action to prevent diabetes should begin in childhood
Action to prevent non-insulin dependent diabetes and heart disease in South Asian people may need to begin during childhood, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in London identified 3,415 white and 227 South Asian children aged 8 to 11 years from primary schools in 10 British towns. Blood samples were taken from 1,287 white and 73 South... view more... (2002-03-13)
Skin care: new research into scar-free healing
New research from the University of Bristol shows that by suppressing one of the genes that normally switches on in wound cells, wounds can heal faster and reduce scarring. This has major implications not just for wound victims but also for people who suffer organ tissue damage through illness or abdominal surgery. view more (2008-01-21)
Inverted DNA turns quiet developmental gene into a potent driver of t-cell lymphoma
A gene crucial for embryonic development can quickly become a potent cancer promoter in adult mice after a genetic misalignment, according to researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center, causing white blood cells to become cancerous spontaneously. view more (2008-02-28)
Delay in spotting TB is more common in white people and women
Delays in diagnosing tuberculosis are more common in white people and women, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-04-23)
Natural compounds block autoimmune response in diabetes, arthritis
Natural compounds derived from a sea anemone extract and a shrub plant have been found to block the autoimmune disease response in type-1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2006-11-07)
Weight at birth tied to heart disease and diabetes risk in adulthood
Lower weight at birth may increase inflammatory processes in adulthood, which are associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-04-01)
Bone marrow cells can heal nerves in diabetes model
Transplanting cells that replenish blood vessels can also restore nerve function in an animal model of diabetic neuropathy, Emory researchers have found. view more (2009-02-05)
Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube
Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab. view more (2008-12-23)
Jefferson researchers find potential biomarket for heart failure
A team of cardiology researchers at Thomas Jefferson University has determined that GRK2, a protein that plays an important regulatory role in heart failure, is elevated in patients with failing hearts when compared to patients with normal heart function. view more (2006-09-12)
Progress toward a targeted therapy for a specific form of leukemia
Leukemia, or cancer of the bone marrow, strikes some 700 Belgians each year. Scientists are still searching for the cause of many forms of leukemia, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or T-ALL. view more (2007-04-16)
Geisinger study: PTSD a medical warning sign for long-term health problems
Geisinger research finds that veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are as likely to have long-term health problems as people with chronic disease risk factors such as an elevated white blood cell counts and biological signs and symptoms. However, few healthcare providers screen for PTSD in the same way as they screen for... view more... (2008-02-14)
Potential new way of treating inflammatory diseases identified
Scientists have shown for the first time that platelets, the cells needed for blood clotting, help white blood cells called neutrophils fight inflammation. view more (2007-09-14)
