Starved T cells allow hepatitis B to silently infect liver

Hepatitis B stimulates processes that deprive the body’s immune cells of key nutrients that they need to function, finds new UCL-led research funded by the Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust.

The work helps to explain why the immune system cannot control hepatitis B virus infection once it becomes established in the liver, and offers a target for potential curative treatments down the line. The research also offers insights into controlling the immune system, which could be useful for organ transplantation and treating auto-immune diseases. (more…)

ANN ARBOR — Despite what your mother told you about “an apple a day keeping the doctor away,” it does not do the trick. The age-old aphorism may hold true for keeping pharmacists at bay, however.

Enge Becken, große Köpfe und die schwierige Geburt beim Menschen

Beim Menschen besteht ein komplexer Zusammenhang zwischen Becken, Kopf- und Körpergröße, der evolutionär entstanden ist, um die Geburt zu vereinfachen.

Unter dem menschlichen “Geburtsdilemma” versteht man die Tatsache, dass die Köpfe von Neugeborenen im Verhältnis zum engen Geburtskanal des weiblichen Beckens sehr groß sind. Dieser Umstand macht den Geburtsvorgang langsam und schwierig – viel schwieriger als bei den meisten anderen Primatenarten. Barbara Fischer und Philipp Mitteröcker (Department für Theoretische Biologie der Universität Wien und CEES, Department of Biosciences, Universität Oslo) konnten nun zeigen, dass es bislang unbekannte Anpassungen in unserem Körperbau gibt, die das Geburtsdilemma erleichtern. Dazu publizieren die ForscherInnen in der renommierten Fachzeitschrift “PNAS”. (more…)

Forschungsprojekt BIOCOMBUST stellt Abschlussergebnisse zu den Auswirkungen der Biomasseverbrennung vor

Bei der Verbrennung von fester Biomasse wie Holz, Hackschnitzeln und Pellets entstehen Aschen und partikelförmige Emissionen, also kleinste Staubkörner. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Frankreich, der Schweiz und Deutschland haben in dem fächerübergreifenden Projekt BIOCOMBUST erforscht, wie diese Emissionen die Luftqualität beeinflussen und wie sie sich auf die menschliche Gesundheit auswirken. Außerdem haben die Forscherinnen und Forscher untersucht, ob die Aschen der Zementindustrie als Rohstoff dienen können. Die Forschungsergebnisse des auf knapp zweieinhalb Jahre angelegten Vorhabens, das im Mai 2015 endet, liegen nun vor. (more…)

A national, five-year study of care for inmates with HIV brought strangers together, produced policy change in the Delaware Department of Corrections and documented the importance of good communication and coordinated care for those who return to the community. But many challenges remain in preventing, detecting and treating HIV in offender populations. (more…)

Pioneering new research has unlocked a new technique to help combat the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, that cause debilitating and often life-threatening human illness.

Researchers from the University of Exeter has shown that the use of ‘sequential treatments’ – using alternating doses of antibiotics – might offer effective treatment against bacterial infection. (more…)

HIV spreads like internet malware and should be treated earlier

A new model for HIV progression finds that it spreads in a similar way to some computer worms and predicts that early treatment is key to staving off AIDS.

HIV specialists and network security experts at UCL noticed that the spread of HIV through the body using two methods – via the bloodstream and directly between cells – was similar to how some computer worms spread through both the internet and local networks respectively to infect as many computers as possible. They worked together to create a model for this ‘hybrid spreading’, which accurately predicted patients’ progression from HIV to AIDS in a major clinical trial. (more…)
