Moderate fitness levels produce significantly larger immune response in breast cancer survivors

A new study in breast cancer survivors has found that chemotherapy, while a critical part of breast cancer therapy, may also have some lasting dampening effects on natural immunity, but moderate fitness improvements can offer some protection against this effect.

10-second videos of white blood cell motion improve the prediction of blood cancer relapse

In a new study from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 10-second videos of white blood cell motion in the skin's microvasculature greatly improved the prediction of which stem cell and bone marrow transplant patients would have a relapse of their blood cancer.

WVU researcher unravels role of STAT5 protein in the development of multiple sclerosis

A human immune system is a lot like the board game Mouse Trap: it's a Rube Goldberg system of interacting parts. Only instead of a falling ball causing a tiny diver to leap into a tub-; which, in turn, springs a trap on some plastic mice-; proteins trigger other proteins to activate immune cells and direct them toward germs.

Scientists discover mechanism that enables Listeria-infected cells to escape immune responses

Some "hypervirulent" strains of Listeria monocytogenes have a greater capacity to infect the central nervous system.

U of U Health researchers lead a $22-million nationwide clinical trial for rare brain disorder

University of Utah Health researchers are leading a five-year, $22-million nationwide clinical trial for NMDA receptor encephalitis––a type of autoimmune encephalitis that prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack the brain, causing confusion, memory loss, seizures, and symptoms similar to bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions.

Gene therapy leads to durable transfusion independence in youngest patients with thalassemia

Over 90 percent of patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder, no longer needed monthly blood transfusions years after receiving gene therapy, according to an international Phase 3 clinical trial that for the first time included children younger than 12 years of age.

Yale researchers confirm the health benefits of moderate calorie restrictions in humans

Decades of research has shown that limits on calorie intake by flies, worms, and mice can enhance life span in laboratory conditions. But whether such calorie restriction can do the same for humans remains unclear.
