How T lymphocytes attack

French CNRS researchers with a group of scientists from Institut Curie and INSERM have used two-photon microscopy to demonstrate, for the first time in vivo and real-time, how T lymphocytes infiltrate a solid tumour in order to fight it. How is a tumour destroyed by T lymphocytes? This scenario has recently been visualised and published in the journal of Experimental Medicine.

1. Study Shows Internet To Be Resilient Against Terror Attack
   09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Researchers have simulated what would happen to Internet reliability in the United States if terrorists were able to knock out various physical components of the network. The good news is that it would be very difficult to cause major disruptions across the country, although destruction of some key parts could seriously degrade Internet quality. "When it comes to the Internet, there is strength in numbers," said the co-author of the study.

2. Fast test for low blood flow in dogs detects early heart trouble
   11-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Working with dogs and using the latest in imaging software and machinery, also known as a 64-slice CT scanner, Johns Hopkins heart specialists have developed a fast and accurate means of tracking blood that has been slowed down by narrowing of the coronary arteries. Researchers say it took them less than half the time of exercise stress tests and echocardiograms currently used to find early warning of vessels more likely to become blocked and cause heart attack.

3. Immune responses spread from one protein to another in type 1 diabetes
   12-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs when the immune system inappropriately attacks cells in the pancreas. Although many of the proteins attacked during T1D have been identified, it has not been determined whether immune responses to the individual proteins develop independently or whether a response to one protein then spreads to others. Now, a new study shows that in mice the immune system first attacks a single protein and then expands its attack to other proteins.

10. High-risk patients need better guidance on what is and isn't a heart attack

    Varying advice means patients at high-risk of having a heart attack are unclear about when symptoms are potentially life threatening and when they should call an ambulance, argue a group of heart specialists in this week's BMJ.At least 70 percent of people who die from coronary heart disease have had previous heart problems.
