Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a form of cancer that accounts for up to 74% of malignant disorders in children in equatorial Africa. Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are known cofactors in its development, but to date, their relative contribution has not been well understood. view more (2007-06-08)
Antibody-based therapies effective at controlling malaria
Passive immunization through the development of fully human antibodies specific to Plasmodium falciparum may be effective at controlling the disease, report researchers led by Dr. Richard S. McIntosh from the University of Nottingham in a paper published this week in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-05-18)
Study holds promise for new way to fight HIV
Researchers have confirmed for the first time the benefit of an innate defense system present in the few patients who remain healthy after years of infection with HIV despite receiving no treatment, according to an article published in the September edition of the Journal of Virology. view more (2005-09-02)
Fragment of Yellow Fever Virus May Hold Key to Safer Vaccine
In one of the first molecular studies of the human antibody response to yellow fever, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers and their colleagues have found the crucial bit of virus that people's immune systems need to spot and quash this often-fatal re-emerging disease. view more (2005-06-17)
SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. view more (2005-12-22)
HIV-1's high virulence might be an accident of evolution
The virulence characteristic of HIV-1—the virus predominantly responsible for human AIDS—might amount to an accident of evolution, new evidence reveals. view more (2006-06-16)
'Underground' tunnels discovered as means for communication between immune system cells
Immune system cells are connected to each other by an extensive network of tiny tunnels that, like a building's hidden pneumatic tube system, are used to shoot signals to distant cells. view more (2005-09-21)
Scientists learn more about how viruses reproduce, spread
Biochemists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a surprising discovery about the inner workings of a powerful virus - a discovery that they hope could one day lead to better vaccines or anti-virus medications. view more (2006-04-07)
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)
Minor mutations in avian flu virus increase chances of human infection
The H5N1 avian influenza virus, commonly known as "bird flu," is a highly contagious and deadly disease in poultry. view more (2006-03-20)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
A new view of asthma's cause
A newly recognized type of immune cell may play an important role in causing asthma, perhaps explaining why current therapies sometimes fail, report researchers from Children's Hospital Boston in the March 16th New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2006-03-16)
St. Jude test of bird flu vaccine proves successful
A commercially developed vaccine has successfully protected mice and ferrets against a highly lethal avian influenza virus, according to the investigator who led the study at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2006-05-03)
Secrets to antibody's success against West Nile Virus surprise scientists
A monoclonal antibody that can effectively treat mice infected with West Nile virus has an intriguing secret: Contrary to scientists' expectations, it does not block the virus's ability to attach to host cells. view more (2005-09-29)
Genome circularization and RNA virus replication
As featured on the cover of the August 15th issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication. view more (2006-08-01)
Dengue Virus Reveals Its Circular Secret
The first step in the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses is no mystery: it's the pesky insect's bite that allows the virus to enter its victim's bloodstream. But for some of the most dangerous insect-borne viruses, details of what happens next have been unclear. view more (2006-08-02)
Penn researchers discover key to how SARS virus infects cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that inhibitors of an enzyme called cathepsin L prevent the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus from entering target cells. SARS is caused by an emergent coronavirus. view more (2005-08-02)
Revolution in the fight against cancer & viruses
A recent scientific discovery could herald the introduction of fast, effective treatments for cancer and viruses. view more (2006-05-26)
New gene silencing therapy for cervical cancer
Researchers at The University of Queensland's (UQ) Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research (CICR), based at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, have pioneered a new approach for the treatment of cervical cancer. view more (2005-11-17)
Researcher at UGA College of Veterinary Medicine identifies new way of combating viral diseases
Four seemingly unrelated viral diseases may some day be defeated by a single treatment, according to a recent collaborative study involving researchers at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. view more (2005-09-13)
