Immune cells capable of attacking healthy organs “see” their targets differently than do protective immune cells that attack viruses, according to work published online this week in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. During development, T lymphocytes are screened for their ability to recognize normal tissue…

Common infections in children pose a high risk of ischemic stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2012. In a review of 2.5 million children, the researchers identified 126 childhood ischemic stroke cases and then randomly selected 378 age-matched controls from the remaining children without stroke…
