The adaptive immune system has the capacity to generate a large number of different antigen-specific receptors and hence can, in principle, provide defence against virtually any pathogen. However, there is a price to pay for this flexibility and sophistication, and that is that it takes several days to generate a protective response. In the meantime, the innate immune system must hold the infection at bay. The innate immune system requires receptors directed to structures which are commonly found in micro-organisms but which are not expressed in our own cells. One such structure is lipopolysac

Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies have confirmed these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider the fact that the battle against inflammation is at the forefront of the fight for health and well-being of the global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey Bost have set out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory." Pharmaceujtical companies have spent billions of dollars in an

There is currently an explosive growth of basic and clinical research in inflammatory bowel diseases. The extensive interest of the medical community in these diseases is largely explained by the devastating impact the illnesses have on the quality of life, their high prevalence in the community, and the fact that so many medical disciplines are involved in tackling the immensely complex studies on pathogenesis, clinical expression and treatment possibilities. The Falk Symposium No. 85 held in The Hague, the Netherlands, 29 June-1 July 1995 brought together over 80 speakers and 1000
