Gene that helps mosquitoes fight off malaria parasite identified
Researchers have identified a gene in mosquitoes that helps the insects to fight off infection by the Plasmodium parasite, which causes malaria in humans. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit the malaria parasite to nearly 550 million people worldwide each year with these cases resulting in more than 2 million deaths annually. view more (2005-10-25)

Old mystery solved, revealing origin of regulatory T cells that 'police' and protect the body
More than 150 years after the discovery of Hassall's corpuscles in 1849, the function of these round blobs of cells in the human thymus gland has now been explained. The answer, in turn, ends an intense hunt for the origin of regulatory T cells that has been under way for years. view more (2005-10-13)
New immune cell found to be a key to inflammatory diseases
The molecular roots of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as asthma, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis (MS) have been discovered by a team of researchers led by The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-10-03)
Immunologists find better way to boost the immune system
Immunologists have discovered how to manipulate the immune system to increase its power and protect the body from successive viral infections. view more (2008-01-23)
Researchers find potential celebrex target in lung cancer
A product produced by lung cancer tumors fuels the cells that suppress immune function in patients and may be a target for Celebrex therapy, giving oncologists another weapon to fight cancer, according to a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center. view more (2005-07-15)
Are we winning against TB?
A TB expert at the University of Leicester has warned: "We are not winning against tuberculosis." Mike Barer, Professor of Clinical Microbiology in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, said: "The Chief Medical Officer urged us to "get ahead of the curve" in his report on infection earlier this year. We are... view more... (2002-10-07)
LIAI scientists make major finding on potential cure for type 1 diabetes
A major finding, which represents an important step toward a potential cure for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, has been made by a research team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI). view more (2006-04-21)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
Be a control freak: Allergists outline new focus for asthmatics
A Mayo Clinic allergist and colleagues representing the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology announce they are revising the old classification of asthma patients by disease severity to determine treatment and moving to a new expectation for all asthma patients. view more (2005-10-25)
Patients now surviving once-fatal immune disease

Discovery of T-cell 'traffic control' boosts new drug promise
Scientists have begun to clarify how one of the body's molecules controls the trafficking of T cells through the blood, lymph nodes and on to tissues to fight infection - a crucial response that sometimes goes awry, attacking the body's own tissues and causing autoimmune diseases. view more (2005-07-15)
Speed of PSA rise helps predict survival for prostate cancer patients
The clinical outcome for prostate cancer patients who have been treated with hormone therapy and radiation therapy can usually be determined by how rapidly their prostate specific antigen level rises following treatment. view more (2005-10-03)
Jefferson Researchers Building a Better Rabies Vaccine
In an unexpected discovery, scientists at Jefferson Medical College have found that a tiny change in a rabies virus protein can turn a "safe" virus extremely deadly. The finding has enabled the researchers to refine a vaccine they previously created against rabies in wildlife, making it safer and more effective. view more (2006-01-06)
Einstein researchers' discover 'radiation-eating' fungi
Scientists have long assumed that fungi exist mainly to decompose matter into chemicals that other organisms can then use. But researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found evidence that fungi possess a previously undiscovered talent with profound implications: the ability to use radioactivity as an energy... view more...

A molecule impedes the destruction of the 'Brucella' bacteria
Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). view more (2005-06-15)
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)
AAAAI, ACAAI identify new recommendations for sinusitis diagnosis and management
