New system developed by Scripps researchers

03-21-2007 · EurekAlert!

Tracing the origins of marine animals can be extremely difficult, especially in the free-flowing, soup-like conditions of the ocean, but obtaining this information is vital not only for understanding these organisms but for managing and conserving them as well. Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have developed a novel approach for tracing the life roots of marine larvae, some of the most difficult organisms to track due to their microscopic sizes.

    12-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A mechanism which can lead to hay fever and other allergic reactions, by preventing the immune system from regulating itself properly, has been discovered by scientists. Researchers hope their finding, published today in PLoS Biology, will allow therapies to be developed that treat allergies by stopping this mechanism.

  6. The PIN codes of the immune system can be hacked
    11-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
    There are several reasons why the world is still plagued by diseases we cannot treat or vaccinate against, one of them being the vast complexity of the human immune system. Danish researchers have now developed a method, which can help expose a complicated but crucial part of the immune system's defense mechanisms. This method can lead to entirely new vaccines and treatments.
