Many preeclampsia cases may be prevented with timed birth

More than half of all preeclampsia cases that occur during weeks 37-42 of pregnancy (at-term) may be prevented with timed birth, such as a scheduled induction or Cesarean delivery, according to new research published today in Hypertension, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

High consumption of common artificial sweetener lowers activation of T-cells in mice

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have found that high consumption of a common artificial sweetener, sucralose, lowers activation of T-cells, an important component of the immune system, in mice.

C-reactive protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus erythematosus

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE, an inflammatory disease.

Microglia partner with T cells to cause neurodegeneration, study shows

Nearly two dozen experimental therapies targeting the immune system are in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease, a reflection of the growing recognition that immune processes play a key role in driving the brain damage that leads to confusion, memory loss and other debilitating symptoms.

Researchers develop a potential treatment for autoimmune encephalitis

In autoimmune encephalitis, a rare but serious and sometimes life-threatening inflammation of the central nervous system, the body's own defenses are directed against the central nervous system.

Technology-assisted pregnancies increase the likelihood of preeclampsia

People who became pregnant using assisted reproductive technologies were found to be over twice as likely to develop preeclampsia than those with traditional pregnancies, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.
