Researchers develop novel antibody-based therapy to treat organ fibrosis

Fibrosis can be triggered by many events- surgery, injury, disease- but regardless of the cause, it's characterized by accumulating masses of collagen-packed scar tissue that can permanently damage compromised organs.

Vitamin A-enriched cattle fodder is the key to protect against cow's milk allergy

A real milk allergy occurs in about three to five percent of European children and more rarely in adults. The disease is different from lactose intolerance, in which a lack of the enzyme lactase results in the inability to properly break down lactose, a sugar found in milk products.

Researchers report technical advances in production of HIV vaccines

Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few candidate vaccines have been tested in clinical trials.

Researchers reveal promising method for delivering cancer virotherapy

Researchers at Okayama University report in Scientific Reports a promising method for delivering viral DNA, able to eliminate cancerous cells, to a tumor. The approach, involving encapsulation of the DNA in liposomes, has the potential to enable intravenous delivery of virus-based antitumor agents.

Discovery opens new doors to developing vaccines for preventing staph skin infections

After years of investigation, researchers at Johns Hopkins, the University of California, Davis, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have discovered how the immune system might protect a person from recurrent bacterial skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (staph).

Early and targeted treatment of dnDSA preserves allograft function

Development of de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) is known to cause graft failure. Therefore, a protocol aimed at prospective monitoring and treating dnDSA--before it can cause graft damage--was developed for kidney transplant recipients at Children National Health System.

New modular platform offers robust biological approach that targets endless number of diseases

The biological complexity of cancer and other diseases demands a more formidable arsenal of therapies than currently available. Most therapeutic approaches ignore the dynamic molecular network of genes, targeting instead only very few selected disease-related genes.

Platelets play more important role in the immune system than previously thought

Platelets play a much more important role in our immune system than previously thought, according to a study published by researchers from Université Laval and Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec Research Center.

Scientists develop rapid test for early diagnosis of heart attack and to identify sepsis

NUST MISIS scientists have developed a new type of membrane test strip for the quantitative immunochromatographic rapid-test that will be able to accurately and quickly make an early diagnosis of an acute myocardial infarction through the presence of disease markers in blood, as well as to identify various things such as sepsis, a pregnancy's duration, and viral & bacterial infections.

Research could pave way for more effective allergy medicine

Researchers have found a new mechanism in which an antibody can prevent allergic reactions in a broad range of patients. It is a scientific breakthrough, which could pave the way for a far more effective allergy medicine.

UCSF researchers find new way to attack common drivers of 'undruggable' cancers

Cancer researchers have made great strides in developing targeted therapies that treat the specific genetic mutations underlying a patient's cancer.

Universal vaccine produces long-lasting immunity against influenza A viruses in mice

Researchers have developed a universal vaccine to combat influenza A viruses that produces long-lasting immunity in mice and protects them against the limitations of seasonal flu vaccines, according to a study led by Georgia State University.

Study illustrates role of specific antibodies in protection against influenza

People with higher levels of antibodies against the stem portion of the influenza virus hemagglutinin protein have less viral shedding when they get the flu, but do not have fewer or less severe signs of illness, according to a new study published in mBio.

Discovery offers fresh perspective on how the brain keeps its balance

As with all things in life, healthy brain function depends on a balance of forces. We think of our brains as active - moving a leg and saying a word are all "active" events.

Serological study shows prevalence of tularemia pathogens in Austrian hunting dogs

Tularemia is an infectious bacterial disease that is life-threatening for rodents, rabbits and hares, but which can also infect humans and dogs.

Researchers reveal potential of multivalent antibodies for HIV prevention, treatment and cure

The ability of HIV to mutate has been a major challenge to vaccine development. As the body produces antibodies to target the outer HIV envelope protein, this protein changes, thwarting the circulating antibodies' ability to neutralize it.

World’s first vaccine relieves grass pollen allergy symptoms by at least 25%, study shows

Around 400 million people world-wide suffer in some form or other from a grass pollen allergy (rhinitis) - with the usual symptoms such as a runny nose, cough and severe breathing problems.

Novel gene expression analysis technique can accurately and quickly measure RNA

A University of Illinois and Mayo collaboration has demonstrated a novel gene expression analysis technique that can accurately measure levels of RNA quickly and directly from a cancerous tissue sample while preserving the spatial information across the tissue --something that conventional methods cannot do.

Genetic study identifies six new gene regions associated with type 1 diabetes in children

This article outlines a recent study which identified six novel gene regions in children who are at risk of type 1 diabetes.

17 Jan 2018

Scientists identify six new gene regions that may help treat type 1 diabetes

Six novel chromosomal regions identified by scientists leading a large, prospective study of children at risk for type 1 diabetes will enable the discovery of more genes that cause the disease and more targets for treating or even preventing it.
