Malarial Cytokine Responses Reduced by Age in Exposed Children
Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the peripheral blood during acute malaria infection contribute to the control of parasitemia, but are also responsible for much of the immunopathology seen during symptomatic disease. More...10 Jan 2018
Protein Signature Associated with Outcome in Metastatic Melanoma
Clinical results in metastatic melanoma with the antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab to anti– programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have led to clinically and statistically significant improvements in progression-free and overall survival compared to alternative first- and second-line therapies.

Prognostic Biomarker Found for Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major health concern due to its rising incidence. Whilst early stage disease is generally cured by surgery, advanced EC has a poor prognosis with limited treatment options, and altered energy metabolism is a hallmark of malignancy. More...08 Jan 2018
Images Evaluated for CSF Electrophoresis of IgG Bands
Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves inflammatory lesions of white matter in the central nervous system (CNS) that spread over time. In MS immune reactions lead to intrathecal synthesis of specific immunoglobulins (IgGs) that can be detected in biological fluid samples both quantitatively and qualitatively by isoelectric focusing of supplementary oligoclonal IgG bands. More...02 Jan 2018
Urine Test Developed for Accurate TB Detection
An accurate screening test for active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is urgently needed for patients who are not co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Worldwide, TB is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections, with the highest mortality in developing countries. More...28 Dec 2017
