Stealthy leprosy pathogen evades critical vitamin D-dependent immune response

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 12:11 PM PST

Researchers discovered that the leprosy pathogen Mycobacterium leprae was able to evade immune activity that is dependent on vitamin D, a natural hormone that plays an essential role in the body's fight against infections. A better understanding of how these pathogens can escape the immune system may be helpful in designing more effective therapies.

Body clock receptor linked to diabetes in new genetic study

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 12:10 PM PST

Scientists have found new evidence for a link between the body clock hormone melatonin and type 2 diabetes. The study found that people who carry rare genetic mutations in the receptor for melatonin have a much higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

Cancer sequencing initiative discovers mutations tied to aggressive childhood brain tumors

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 12:10 PM PST

A cancer sequencing initiative has discovered mutations tied to aggressive childhood brain tumors. Early evidence suggests the alterations play a unique role in other aggressive pediatric brain tumors as well.
