Gene deletion from insulin-producing cells prevents type 1 diabetes in mice

According to a new study performed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, deleting a gene from insulin-producing cells prevents the development of Type 1 diabetes in mice, by sparing the cells from being attacked by their own immune system.

New model helps determine techniques used by cells to increase their sensitivity

The human body’s capability to identify foreign material, disease, and the location of food sources and toxins is governed by a mixture of chemicals surrounding the cells and also their ability to “read” these chemicals. Cells are extremely sensitive.

Researchers uncover a surprising property of blood stem cells

A Franco-German research team led by Prof. Michael Sieweke, from the Center for Regenerative Therapies TU Dresden and the Center of Immunology of Marseille Luminy, today uncovered a surprising property of blood stem cells: not only do they ensure the continuous renewal of blood cells and contribute to the immune response triggered by an infection, but they can also remember previous infectious encounters to drive a more rapid and more efficient immune response in the future.
