Study may lead to a novel treatment strategy for inflammatory diseases by manipulating IκBζ function

In the normal small intestine, the levels of SFB and Th17 cells are both maintained constant as they counterbalance each other. Th17 cells release IL-17 to limit unwanted expansion of SFB, whereas decrease in the number of SFB eases the restrictive action of Th17 cells.

Study reveals clues what makes the human brain distinct from others

What makes the human brain distinct from that of all other animals - including even our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell types in the prefrontal cortex of four primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific - particularly human-specific - features, they report Aug. 25 in the journal Science.

Researchers identify a potential new therapeutic approach to fight angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

A type of blood cell cancer called angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) can develop as mutations accumulate with age in the stem cells from which the T cells in the blood develop.
