The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology has validated the longheld theory that antibodies actually contribute to severe dengue virus-induced disease.

Qiagen is to distribute a Celera molecular multiplex assay for detection of respiratory pathogens.

A new study using bioinformatics, led by scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research, reports the ability to predict the molecular cause of many inherited genetic diseases. These predictions involve tens of thousands of genetic disease-causing mutations and have led to the creation of a web-based tool available to academic researchers who study disease.
