How a single molecule gives our immune systems their memory
MEDIA RELEASE:
11 Jan 2010
By studying the blood cells of people with an immunodeficiency disorder, scientists at Garvan have been able to identify the molecular mechanisms that lead to the production of antibodies in human B cells. This has wider implications for potential treatment of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
What B cells can tell us about certain cancers and autoimmune diseases

By studying blood samples from patients recovering from bone marrow transplants, Garvan scientists have been able to extract information that could help us fight certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
Finding that could shed light on "golden staph", candida and allergies
MEDIA RELEASE:

Recent scientific findings explain why people with Hyper IgE Syndrome, or ‘Job’s Syndrome’, are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some ‘healthy’ people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments.
Silencing of molecular 'conversation' may help curb severe allergies
MEDIA RELEASE:

Scientists in Sydney have identified a process, a synergistic encounter between two molecules, that may account for the extreme allergic reactions some people experience. By silencing at least one of these molecules, it may be possible to treat allergies.
Managing the way our immune system remembers infection
01 Aug 2007
New Garvan research, published online in the prestigious PNAS journal, identifies which genes are involved in our bodies’ capacity to “remember” infection, and fight it the second time around. This knowledge could be useful in developing new vaccines.
