Immune system cells play surprising role in cystic fibrosis lung injurye Cells Systemystem

 Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Immune cells present at more than spectators at CF may be the key to stop patients with fatal pulmonary disease. New findings from the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital show that these neutrophil leukocytes signals react strongly patients with cystic fibrosis “the lungs, the development of molecular agitation, which may explain why patients with severe lung damage.

Unravel the role of researchers in Basic Plant Immunity

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Scientists have discovered a natural, a plant that triggers the immune system, protects the plant from a secondary bacterial infection. The patent pending discovery could lead to an effective, efficient and environmentally friendly nature and the improvement of plants’ resistance against the disease, according to research published in the field of science, April 3 2009.

Paradigm shift in the immune response regulation

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Over the past ten years, several pieces of the puzzle that immunity signal controls have been met. Now, in an international group of cells indicates a paradigm shift in the regulation of the immune response. Their results show that interaction with a linear ubiquitin chain is crucial for the nuclear factor kappa B activation. Your knowledge can also contribute to the structure-based drug development in the absence of NF-κB path of diseases such as cancer, inflammation and immune weakness.

Scientists show how immune cells can also be used to target melanoma

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Researcher at the Babraham Institute and the University of Catanzaro “Magna Graecia”, Italy, coordinating an international network of researchers and clinicians from Europe, the United States and Japan, new mechanisms which the immune system recognizes and responds to tumors, such as melanoma. This discovery may therapeutic approaches in the fight against metastatic melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, nearly 2000 deaths in the United Kingdom every year .

Protects the cells transplanted pancreas, immune system

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

Researcher at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham), and the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego), School of Medicine have shown that in mice, transplantation of precursor cells of the pancreas, if the immune system, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The study, which suggests a new approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, was published online April 8 in the journal Transplantation.

Antimicrobial agents against attacks by viruses, stimulates the immune system

Corpus Curare Spiritumque

A promising antimicrobial agent known to kill, kill bacteria and viruses can also stimulate the innate immune system, according to researchers at National Jewish Health. In a document, the June 4th line in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Michael Howell, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, and colleagues have shown that the synthesis connection CSA-13 can kill vaccinia virus in cell cultures and in the mouse. They also showed that CSA-13-stimulated cells for their own antimicrobial proteins. “This connection shows wide efficiency,” said Dr Howell.
