| New immunotherapy treatment could lead to better, cheaper results for pancreatic cancer Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:10 AM PDT A new immunotherapy treatment has shown dramatic results in treating advanced pancreatic cancer, a deadly cancer that has seen little progress in treatment over the last 20 years. |
| Training human antibodies to protect against HIV Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:06 AM PDT During HIV infection, the virus mutates too rapidly for the immune system to combat, but some people produce antibodies that can recognize the virus even two years after infection. With an eye towards developing a vaccine, in four related papers describe a multi-step method for 'training' the immune system to produce these antibodies in genetically engineered mice. |
| Feed a virus, starve a bacterial infection? Posted: 08 Sep 2016 10:05 AM PDT A new study puts some old folk wisdom to 'feed a cold and starve a fever' to the test. In mouse models of disease, Researchers looked at the effects of providing nutrients during infection and found opposing effects depending on whether the infections were bacterial or viral.
