Clinical Science
Our mission - to find cures for children with catastrophic diseases through research and treatment - is a constant driving force. It is through the pursuit of that mission that we seize every opportunity to help the children who come to us for care and, in so doing, to create new knowledge that will help children throughout the world.
The Research Behind the Cures
Putting the brakes on the immune system
Scientists at St. Jude have discovered an important signaling molecule that puts the brakes on a rogue immune response. The discovery could have applications for a host of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease and asthma. The finding could also have exciting ramifications for fighting cancer.
The Scientific Report 2007 summarizes key research recently performed by investigators at St. Jude and includes a list of their peer-reviewed publications for the year 2006.
