Herpes immune response linked to Alzheimer's disease

New research has demonstrated a mechanistic link between the immune response to herpesviruses—the family of viruses related to cold sores, childhood infections and mononucleosis—and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of

Immune response to otherwise harmless yeast becomes a problem in Crohn's disease

Almost everyone carries Candida albicans. The yeast colonizes human mucous membranes—for example, the oral mucosa and the intestine—usually silently, without causing any problems. The immune system learns early on how to deal with it. It develops specialized immune cells known as

Preclinical study points to a promising combined strategy for slowing the progression of t

An international research group led by researchers from VUB-UZ Brussels and KU Leuven has demonstrated that a combined approach targeting both the immune system and insulin-producing beta cells can slow the progression of type 1 diabetes more effectively than individual treatment

Sound waves guide cultured cells to form vessel-like networks within one week

With the aid of physical forces—in this case, sound—it is possible to actively steer the formation of engineered tissue. For example, sound waves can be used to create functional vascular networks with blood vessel-like structures in vitro. Scientists at the Center for Molecular

Mature eye cells turn back into stem cells after injury, mouse study finds

Researchers at Technion have uncovered a surprising natural mechanism through which the body repairs itself: Contrary to what was previously believed, mature, aged cells retain an extraordinary ability to "turn back time" and revert to active stem cells that regenerate damaged ti

Injection halves risk of chromosome error common in older human eggs

Egg cells missing a key protein may be more likely to end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, but an mRNA injection that helps the cells make the protein reduces the problem
