| |  A study from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers finds that electronic consultations (e-consults) in allergy and immunology can simplify the process of providing the most appropriate care, often reducing the need for in-person specialist visits. The paper, which has been published online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, reports on the first two years of the MGH program and finds a significant reduction in the time needed to access specialist guidance. | |

| |  Research has shown that women have a different immune system from men and may respond differently to different immune disease processes. For example, studies have shown that women are eight times more likely to get autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis compared to men but have a lower risk of certain cancers such as colon, kidney, melanomas and lung cancers. | |

| |  Researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered redundancies in the biochemical signaling pathways of immune cells. This finding has important implications for advances in cancer immunotherapy, among other areas. | |

| |  Non-classical monocytes were long thought to play a purely surveillance role in the immune system. With the aid of a novel marker, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich researchers have now shown that they are directly involved in the regulation of immune response | |

| |  A checkpoint may delay travelers but it can help give cancer free rein by suppressing the natural immune response that should destroy it, researchers say. Now they want to learn more about how the enzyme CD73 -- an abundant checkpoint in our body that helps keep our immune system from getting out of control -- is helping often-aggressive head and neck cancers thrive. | |
