It is shown that dTg mice developed type 1 diabetes mellitus associated with hyperglycemia, low level of plasma insulin, glucosuria, weight loss and ∼ 90% mortality (at 3 months biological age).
COX-2 inhibitors can down-regulate in vivo antibody response against T-dependent antigens.
It is confirmed that it is possible to modulate in vivo antibody response against T cell dependent antigens, substantiating the importance of PGE2 and E prostanoid receptor (EP-R) in antibody generation.

It is suggested that highly invasive glioblastomas can be driven to apoptosis following growth arrest induced by Doxorubicin, providing that intracellular drug accumulation suffices cytotoxic levels.
CD44s-targeted treatment with monoclonal antibody blocks intracerebral invasion and growth of 9L gliosarcoma

The virological and molecular analysis of the first strains of avian virus from Romania confirmed the presence of H5N1 subtype, belonging to the genetic line Z, and indicate that the avianirus from this genetic line is directly derived from the highly pathogenic viruses isolated in China and Russia in 2005.

The results showed that both peripheral T lymphocytes and NK cells of cancer patients could be induced to express early activation marker CD69 after ex vivo mitogen stimulation, and suggests that an appropriate immunotherapeutical approach might be used to restore compromised immune functions with beneficial effects on both antitumor and general immunity.
