More Evidence for Epstein - Barr virus' Role in MS Found
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that causes glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis), usually in teenagers and young adults. It has been proposed as a possible trigger for multiple sclerosis, and is also implicated in some cancers. More...14 Nov 2022


Immunoaffinity Technology Distinguishes Between Lyme Disease Infection States and Tracks Treatment Response
Researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to distinguish between Lyme disease infection states and track treatment response using a proprietary immunoaffinity technology. More...25 Oct 2022

Macadamia Nut-Specific IgE Levels Predict Anaphylaxis
Proteins residing in tree nuts are mistakenly treated as harmful by the immune system, which then releases antibodies to combat them. Chemical reaction triggers within protein substances, mast cells and histamines produced by immune system resulting in allergic symptoms. More...24 Oct 2022

Immune Regulators Predict Severity of Plasmodium vivax Malaria
Cytokines and chemokines are immune response molecules that display diverse functions, such as inflammation and immune regulation. In Plasmodium vivax infections, the uncontrolled production of these molecules is thought to contribute to pathogenesis and has been proposed as a possible predictor for disease complications. More...17 Oct 2022

Elevated Antibody Levels Identified in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients
Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) experience a lingering fatigue that can drastically impair their social and work life. ME/CFS affects approximately 1% of the population, appearing as a heterogeneous disease, with its etiology and pathogenesis still remaining elusive. More...28 Sep 2022

PD-L1 Expression Associated With Poorer Survival in Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Although anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare malignancy, making up only 0.5% of all cancer cases in the USA, disconcertingly, the annual incidence continues to rise both globally and in the USA. More...27 Sep 2022
