Exposure to common environmental bacteria may be source of some allergic inflammation

Public release date: 31-Jan-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Cody Mooneyhan cmooneyhan@faseb.org 301-634-7104 Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Could some cases of asthma actually be caused by an allergic reaction to a common environmental bacteria? New research findings published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology (https://www.jleukbio.org) suggests that this idea may not be as far-fetched as it seems. Continue reading →

Has bird-flu biology opened a bioterror box?

That was nearly a century ago. Fears that the nightmare could return today—perhaps with even more terrifying consequences—have set off a heated debate among scientists and, for the first time, delayed the publication of scientific flu research in two professional journals. The object of those fears: a threatening new version of the bird-flu virus that didn’t emerge from nature but was born out of experiments in a lab Continue reading →
