Immune Cells Share Information Like Bees
When bees come across new information, such as a good new source of honey, they share the news with other bees when they get back to the hive. Now new research from the US suggests the T cells of the immune system behave in a similar way when coordinating responses to disease pathogens and vaccines. Scientists from the University of California - San Francisco (UCSF) write about their discovery in the 10 March online issue of Nature Immunology. Senior author Matthew Krummel, is a professor of pathology at UCSF...

Index May Help Predict 10-Year Mortality Among Older Adults
"Recent guidelines recommend considering patients' life expectancy when deciding whether to pursue preventive interventions with long lag times to benefit (â?¥ 7 years) such as colorectal cancer screening and intensive glycemic control for diabetes. However, most mortality indices have focused on short-term risk (â?¤ 5 years)," writes Marisa Cruz, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues. The researchers examined whether their previously developed 4-year mortality index accurately predicted 10-year mortality...
