UB Breaking Research
CONTRARY RESULTS: UB researchers have reported that an immune system component that is a primary cause of bone destruction and inflammation in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis actually protects bone in the oral cavity from infectious pathogens that play a major role in periodontal disease. Learn more about these results.
VIRUS DETECTOR: Research involving UB scientists may pave the way for an ‘on-the-spot’ detector that would rapidly detect viruses in biological samples such as blood and would be useful in military, as well as public-health, applications.
Read about this virus detector.
CANCER PROMOTERS: UB cancer epidemiologists have identified specific genes that may under certain circumstances contribute to the development of breast cancer. Learn more about this breakthrough.
