Diet influences multiple sclerosis disease course
The short-chain fatty acid propionic acid influences the intestine-mediated immune regulation in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Scientists receive €2.45 million funding for leukemia research
Leukemia stem cells are considered to be the starting point of leukemia; their elimination is a basic prerequisite for a successful long-term therapy. Scientists at Heidelberg University Hospital, the Heidelberg Institute for Stem Cell Technology and Experimental Medicine at the German Cancer Research Center, the German Cancer Research Center and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory have now obtained research funding of €2.45 million from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the junior research alliance LeukoSyStem.
Around the corner: 3D housing designed for the homeless and needy seniors
Tim Shea is counting the days until he can move into a new, 3D-printed house. Shea, 69, will be the first to live in one of six such rentals created by what some in the housing industry call a futuristic approach that could revolutionize home construction.
UConn team discovers a population of stem cells with ability to generate new bone
A population of stem cells with the ability to generate new bone has been newly discovered by a group of researchers at the UConn School of Dental Medicine.
Older workers with obesity at higher risk of prolonged sickness absence or job loss
New research has shown that older workers with obesity are at a higher risk of prolonged sickness absence or losing their jobs for health reasons than those of normal weight, with women affected significantly more than men.
Asthma and COPD can increase risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were each associated with increased risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis in a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis more likely to quit smoking, shows study
Smoking doubles the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis and continuing to smoke after being diagnosed has negative effects on patients.

UAB research reveals hydrogen sulfide as new culprit for deadly tuberculosis
A new culprit -- hydrogen sulfide -- has been found for the deadly infectious disease tuberculosis. Hydrogen sulfide gas is known for its rotten egg smell, yet it has normal physiological roles in the human body to communicate among cells.
Visceral fat gives signal to the brain that damages cognition
Excessive weight around our middle gives our brain's resident immune cells heavy exposure to a signal that turns them against us, setting in motion a crescendo of inflammation that damages cognition, scientists say.
Expert advice about coronavirus in immunocompromised individuals available from CreakyJoints
Recognizing growing concerns about novel coronavirus (COVID-19), CreakyJoints, a Global Healthy Living Foundation digital patient community, developed educational resources for their chronic disease patient community, many of whom are immunocompromised.
New immune cell with 'Jekyll and Hyde properties' identified
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have identified a rare, new cell in the immune system with "Jekyll and Hyde properties". These cells play a key protective role in immunity to infection but - if unregulated - also mediate tissue damage in autoimmune disorders.
Sex-specific differences in the immune system may explain men's susceptibility to obesity
Melbourne researchers have uncovered important differences between the male and female immune system which may explain why men are more susceptible to obesity and metabolism-related associated diseases, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Cellular metabolism plays key role in dictating the fate decision between pathogenic and regulatory T cells
Patients with autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis have an imbalance between two types of immune system T cells.
Researchers reveal new details about how joint inflammation evolves in rheumatoid arthritis
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers have revealed new details about how joint inflammation evolves in rheumatoid arthritis, and the cells that prolong the inflammatory attack.
Opioid prescription for chronic non-cancer pain increased in the last two-and-a-half decades
The number of people with chronic non-cancer pain prescribed an opioid medicine worldwide increased in the last two-and-a-half decades.
A highly conserved protein contributes to sensing mechanical pain, study shows
Researchers at McGill University have discovered that a protein found in the membrane of our sensory neurons are involved in our capacity to feel mechanical pain, laying the foundation for the development of powerful new analgesic drugs.
Inflammation caused by radiation can promote survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells
While radiation is successfully used to treat breast cancer by killing cancer cells, inflammation caused as a side-effect of radiation can have a contrary effect by promoting the survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells, according to research published online in the International Journal of Radiation Biology by Jennifer Sims-Mourtada, Ph.D., director of Translational Breast Cancer Research at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute.
Researchers explore whether plaque identifying toothpaste could prevent heart attack, stroke
For decades, researchers have suggested a link between oral health and inflammatory diseases affecting the entire body -- in particular, heart attacks and strokes.
New UChicago Medicine River East facility to offer high-quality outpatient care
The University of Chicago Medicine will open its new $20 million outpatient care center in Chicago's River East neighborhood on Feb. 24. The facility, at 355 E. Grand Ave., will offer a wide range of primary and specialty care services.
DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences partners with microbiome specialist MRM Health
