New discovery furthers our understanding of how critical immune cells are controlled during an infection

A recent publication from Research from the Gerard Lab in Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology looks at how a specific protein, called IFNγ, can coordinate CD8+ T cell responses during a flu infection.

Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer

Women diagnosed with early breast cancer today are much less likely to die from the disease than 20 years ago

The results of this observational study can help clinicians to estimate prognosis for patients diagnosed with breast cancer today.

Autoimmune disorders found to affect around one in ten people

A new population-based study of 22 million people shows that autoimmune disorders now affect about one in ten individuals. The work, published in The Lancet, also highlights important socioeconomic, seasonal, and regional differences for several autoimmune disorders and provides new clues on possible causes behind these diseases.
