The symptoms of T-cell leukaemia

— 15:26 GMT | Health

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis (MLP) is an unusual form mantle cell lymphoma characterised by polyps throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a malignancy associated with retrovirus, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Although it is well-known that ATLL cells infiltrate into systemic organs including gastrointestinal (GI) tract, colonic involvement has not been fully documented…

New study indicates smallpox vaccination effective for decades

— 00:18 GMT | Health

Although naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated in 1977, there is concern that bioterrorists might obtain smallpox from a laboratory and release it into the population. Under such circumstances, the supply of smallpox vaccine may be insufficient for universal administration. In a study published in the December 2008 issue of The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that lifetime protection is obtained from just one vaccination, even when that vaccination occurred as much as 88 years ago. They conclude that in the event of a smallpox bioterrorist attack, vaccinia smallpox vaccine should be used first on individuals who have not been vaccinated previously…

A study describing how cells within blood vessel walls move en masse overturns an assumption common in the age of genomics - that the proteins driving cell behaviour are doing so much multitasking that it would be near impossible to group them according to a few discrete functions…
