Helicobacter Pylori Immunoassays Evaluated for Efficacy

Helicobacter pylori are curved gram negative bacilli and have been etiologically associated with several pathogenic conditions of the stomach ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. Prevalence of H. pylori infection varies based on several factors globally and in developing countries more than 80% of the population is infected with H. pylori. More...

Biological Markers in Tears May Diagnose PD

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that kills brain cells that produce dopamine, which is a chemical messenger important for the control of movement. The main symptoms of Parkinson's include slowness of movement, tremors, rigidity, and difficulty maintaining balance and coordination. More...

Image: The frequency and activity of conventional T cells serves as an early childhood immune signature that predicts the development of asthma later on. The iNKT cells are shown in green, lung vasculature in red and cell nuclei in blue (Photo courtesy of Dr. Catherine Crosby, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology).

Immune Signature Predicts Asthma Susceptibility

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by the interplay of genetics, environmental factors and a diverse cast of immune cells. A subset of T cells has been identified whose frequency serves as early childhood immune signature that predicts the risk of developing asthma later on. More...
