Patient, Heal Thyself: Body's Own Immune Cells Whack Late-Stage Tumor
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 month 1 week (www.sciam.com)
In what could be a breakthrough in cancer therapy, researchers report in The New England Journal of Medicine today that they succeeded in bolstering a patient's immune system enough to wipe out late-stage malignant tumors on its own. The scientists say the successful experiment could pave the way for new treatments of advanced cancer that spare patients the side effects of chemotherapy, which kills healthy as well as malignant cells..... 
TIPE2, a Negative Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immunity that Maintains Immune Homeostasis
kavin submitted, created time 5 months 5 days (www.cell.com)
It is known that immune homeostasis is essential for the normal functioning of the immune system, and its breakdown leads to fatal inflammatory diseases. In this paper, the authors found that TIPE2 is an essential negative regulator of TLR and TCR function, and its selective expression in the immune system prevents hyperresponsiveness and maintains immune homeostasis.
Are Immune System Molecules Brain-Builders—And Destroyers?
jane2007 submitted, created time 7 months 3 days (www.sciam.com)
Researchers stumble across immune proteins that play an unexpected—and very different—role in the brain. These findings provide a new window into the way the brain operates and why certain enigmatic disorders such as autism and Alzheimer's disease may develop, potentially paving the way for new therapies to treat them.
After careful research, study suggests that HIV "can never be cured"
sumsung submitted, created time 7 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
Even the best drugs currently available cannot weed out HIV from all of its hiding places within the body, according to a new study of HIV patients in the United States. The discovery seems to confirm doctors' suspicions that once the virus gains a foothold, it can never be fully eradicated from the body.
Sounding the Alarm: Multiple Functions of Host Defense Peptides
davidd submitted, created time 8 months 4 days (www.nature.com)
The capacity of the skin and other organs to resist infection depends on the innate production of molecules known as antimicrobial peptides. Emerging evidence suggests that some of these peptides are important to immune defense by acting not only as natural antibiotics but also as cell-signaling molecules.
Pigs Could Be the Salvation of Diabetes Sufferers

Most people probably view pigs at best as a source of sustenance or, at worst, as filthy, gluttonous animals. But it seems our porcine pals may also prove invaluable in the fight against type 1 diabetes. Researchers are experimenting with new ways of harvesting insulin-producing islet cells from pigs and transplanting them into diabetes sufferers in the hope of one day reducing the need for daily insulin shots and even replacing them with twice-yearly islet-cell treatments.
Good News About Marrow Injections

Los Angeles patient Derek Besenfelder, who received a kidney transplant from his mother along with a bone marrow three years ago, has been able to discontinue taking anti-rejections drugs.
Organ transplants without rejection
jane2007 submitted, created time 8 months 1 week (www.nature.com)
Three independent research teams have successfully performed organ transplantations that do not require the recipient to face a lifetime of immunosuppressant drugs to prevent rejection. Instead, the new techniques prevent rejection by training the immune system to recognize the new organ as its own.
TB-scarred Homo erectus skull found in Turkey
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 2 weeks (www3.interscience.wiley.com)
The article discusses the way in which TB affected migrating populations. According to the article, examination of this skull supports the idea that as dark-skinned hominids moved into areas where the sun was less intense, they found themselves deficient in vitamin D, which affected their bones and immune systems.
It also got a writeup in the New York Times.

Isn't the immune system wonderful? Among its many talents, it can keep cancer in check for years without you ever knowing anything about it.
Drug-resistant bacteria found to trick immune system
Eric wu submitted, created time 10 months 3 weeks (www.reuters.com)
Drug-resistant bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, may be able to first lure and then destroy immune system cells when they are the most vulnerable, researchers said on Sunday.
(The news has given us a warning of not abusing Drug-resistant bacteria. These drugs would destroy our immune system and the result is very harmfull to all of us.So,I recommend this article. )
The immune-mediated alteration of serotonin and glutamate: towards an integrated view of depression
yangjane submitted, created time 10 months 4 weeks (www.nature.com)
Beside the well-known deficiency in serotonergic neurotransmission as pathophysiological correlate of major depression (MD), recent evidence points to a pivotal role of increased glutamate receptor activation as well. However, cause and interaction of these neurotransmitter alterations are not understood. In this review, we present a hypothesis integrating current concepts of neurotransmission and hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation with findings on immunological alterations and alterations in brain morphology in MD
Allergic reactions may guard against brain cancer
jiangyun submitted, created time 11 months 3 weeks (www.newscientist.com)
It might make you sneeze, wheeze and itch, but evidence is mounting that the hyperactive immune system responsible for allergies can also protect against brain cancer. Understanding the link may help provide new avenues for treating all cancers, say experts.
Tufts University biologists link Huntington's disease to health benefits in young
elliot submitted, created time 1 year 1 week (www.eurekalert.org)
Hypothesis by Tufts University researchers explain prevalence of the disease by suggesting that people with Huntington's disease are healthier in childbearing years and have more children than general population. Huntington's strengthens the immune system during most fertile years allowing them to produce more offspring. Symptoms associated with Huntington's occur later in life, after peak reproductive age. The researchers' hypothesis challenges a long held belief that people with Huntington's had more children because of promiscuous behavior.
How the plant immune system can drive the formation of new species
