...authors of that Science letter is waiting for the release of the full set of data before acknowledging complete vindication. "I think I will wait until after the Paris meeting next week to see more of the data before making any comments," wrote Dennis Burton, an immunologist at Scripps Research Institute, in an e-mail response to a request for his reaction...
...intersection of the HIV and Tuberculosis epidemics is just one example of how otherwise independent investigations can come together at the center. “We hope to set up more interdisciplinary collaborations between people who have very different kinds of AIDS research specialization, whether they are an immunologist, behavioral scientist, epidemiologist, or statistician,” said Myron “Max” Essex, the associate director of the Harvard CFAR and a professor of health sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health. The Harvard CFAR is managed by the Harvard Initiative for Global Health (HIGH...
...might wipe out that advantage. But there are no unalloyed gifts from climate change. Recent research suggests that global warming will also exacerbate respiratory allergies, as higher CO2 concentrations lead to vast increases in ragweed pollen production. "There's no denying there's a change," says Paul Ratner, an immunologist with the American College of Allergies. "It's definitely bad news for people who have allergies." (Hear Ratner talk about the connection between warming and asthma on this week's Greencast...
...only one devil has shown signs of resisting the disease. Starting this week, the Special Six will be injected with tumor cells to see if they can do the same. If their immune systems attack the cells, they may have to be renamed, says Greg Woods, the immunologist heading the research: "They'll be the Super...

The Special Six, caught last year, also have MHC types not seen in the east, says immunologist Woods, who's based at the University of Tasmania. "It's never happened before that a disease has spread through a population without some animals being resistant - even Ebola doesn't kill everyone." So naturally resistant devils ought to exist, he says. "This tumor has broken all the rules...
