Finding that could shed light on "golden staph", candida and allergies
MEDIA RELEASE:
01 Jul 2008
Recent scientific findings explain why people with Hyper IgE Syndrome, or ‘Job’s Syndrome’, are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some ‘healthy’ people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments.
Silencing of molecular 'conversation' may help curb severe allergies
MEDIA RELEASE:
