Sea Anemone Toxin Halts Experimental Multiple Sclerosis; Findings May Lead To New Treatments For Disease
November 20, 2001 — Sea anemones use venom to stun their prey, but one component of that venom halts -- and may reverse -- the paralysis seen in an experimental form of multiple sclerosis, according to a study by UC ... > full story -
High HIV Levels Shut Down Anti-HIV Immune Responses
November 20, 2001 — New research suggests that HIV-specific T cells persist in infected individuals, but high virus levels can diminish the ability of those cells to respond to infection. The report sheds new light on ... > full story -
HIV "Rides" Into Cells On Membrane Rafts, NIAID Scientists Determine
November 20, 2001 — The AIDS-causing virus, HIV, must attach to cholesterol-rich regions of a cell's membrane before it can do its destructive work, researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious ... > full story -
Researchers Discover New Family Of Naturally Occurring Antibiotics
November 16, 2001 — Two North Carolina State University researchers, Drs. Edward Noga and Umaporn Silphaduang, have isolated a previously undiscovered family of naturally occurring peptide antibiotics. The antibiotics ... > full story -
Signals From Nervous System Influence Immune System, Study Shows
November 16, 2001 — In a discovery that demonstrates a clear link between the mind and body at a molecular level, scientists have shown that a chemical signal which normally allows nerve cells to communicate with each ... > full story -
Immune System Discovery May Lead To Preventive Therapy For Diabetes
November 14, 2001 — By manipulating a cell that controls the immune system’s response to infections, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and their colleague have prevented the onset of diabetes in mice ... > full story -
University Of Pittsburgh Researchers Define Precursors To Cells That Control The Immune Response
November 12, 2001 — University of Pittsburgh researchers have identified the precursors of epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs), cells that reside in the skin and play a key role in the initiation and regulation of the ... > full story -
Jefferson Scientists Aim To Flush HIV Out Of Hiding
November 9, 2001 — In the lab, prostratin leads a double life. On the one hand, it can prevent the AIDS virus, HIV, from infecting cells. At the same time, it exacerbates virus growth in cells already infected. ... > full story -
Parasitic Worms "Read" The Body's Immune Condition And Reproduce Accordingly
November 9, 2001 — Tiny parasitic worms that infect 250 million people worldwide and cause the debilitating disease schistosomiasis can thrive undetected in the blood for years. New research shows that the worms not ... > full story -
T Cell Molecules May Play A Role In Ischemia

Sharp Drop In Stress Hormones May Set Stage For Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis After Pregnancy
November 1, 2001 — A sharp drop in stress hormones after giving birth to a child may predispose some women to develop certain conditions in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, according to ... > full story -
Yale Researchers Develop New Molecule That Eradicates Cancer By Destroying Tumor Blood Vessels
November 1, 2001 — Researchers at Yale have developed a new molecule they call "icon" that targets blood vessels in tumors for destruction by the immune system without harming vessels in normal tissues. ... > full story
