Bacteria exploit nerve cells in the meninges to facilitate brain invasion

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School details the step-by-step cascade that allows bacteria to break through the brain's protective layers -; the meninges -; and cause brain infection, or meningitis, a highly fatal disease.

Cutting just one food from the diet rather than six may help treat eosinophilic esophagitis

Eliminating animal milk alone from the diet of adults with eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, is as effective at treating the disease as eliminating animal milk plus five other common foods, a clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health has found.

Study findings likely to guide the design of engineered TAPBPR variants with tailored HLA specificity

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified variants of a chaperone molecule that optimizes the binding and presentation of foreign antigens across the human population, which could open the door to numerous applications where robust presentation to the immune system is important, including cell therapy and immunization. The findings were published today in Science Advances.
