   12-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An international group of researchers has discovered that the mutated form of a gene called Palladin causes familial pancreatic cancer. The findings, published online today, Dec. 12, in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS-Medicine, may help explain why the disease is so deadly. The research project was led by Dr. Teri Brentnall, University of Washington associate professor of medicine, and supported by the Lustgarten Foundation, Canary Foundation and other private sources.

3. UGA researchers discover how human body fights off African parasite
   09-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of researchers led by biochemists at the University of Georgia propose that T. b. brucei actually does infect humans but that the infection triggers release of hemoglobin from red blood cells. Hemoglobin appears to "arm" the human innate immune system by binding to a small fraction of high density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good cholesterol." The hemoglobin-HDL complex then becomes a super toxin and clears the body of trypanosomes.

10. Scientists discover how cancer may take hold
    09-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A team, led by researchers at the Carnegie Institution, has found a key biochemical cycle that suppresses the immune response, thereby allowing cancer cells to multiply unabated. The research shows how the biomolecules responsible for healthy T cells, the body's first defenders against hostile invaders, are quashed, permitting the invading cancer to spread. The same cycle could also be involved in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
