| Deficient Regulators In The Immune System Responsible For Type 1 ...
The main regulators of the immune system, called CD4+Treg cells, are thought to be highly involved in a large range of immune diseases. The gradual reduction in their regulating capacity seems to play a critical role in the onset of type 1 diabetes, as demonstrated in the latest study by Dr. Ciriaco Piccirillo, a researcher in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and the principal investigator for this project. This study was published this month in the journal Diabetes.
The immune system needs to be regulated so that it attacks only the site of an inflammation and focuses its attack on pathogens rather than on the body tissues, causing an autoimmune disease.
In a healthy patient, CD4+Treg cells deactivate any T lymphocytes, a type of immune cell, that are misprogrammed and could attack the body.

A There are two new works. One is a world premiere: "Max's Moon," by Luna Pearl Woolf -- two short movements based on children's stories. It's a setting for cello and orchestra of pieces originally for piano.

The other new work is Stephen Dankner's "Out of Endless Yearnings: a Klezmer Fantasy," which I've just premiered in Albany. Q The cello isn't exactly a standard klezmer instrument ... .
