immunology ping

I really hope this pans out. It's been nearly 2 years since my last serious Crohns disease flare up (I spent all of Feb & March, 2010 in the hospital, the first month on IV antibiotics), I've had 9 surgeries in less than 2 years, and I still haven't gotten "back to normal," though I've been back at work - But that's about all I do now.

A cure for Crohns or Rheumatoid Arthritis would be a really wonderful step forward for medicine, improving the lives of many millions of people.

Antibodies targeting the catalytic zinc complex of activated matrix metalloproteinases show therapeutic potential

This was brilliant, IMHO.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my combined microbiology/immunology ping list.
