breakthroughs
- A discovery by Hilde Cheroutre, Ph.D., a leading La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology biomedical researcher, was chosen by "Nature Medicine" magazine as one of the 10 most important advances in the biomedical field in 2007. The Institute’s finding demonstrated the role of a Vitamin A derivative, retinoic acid, in fighting inflammation. It was originally published in the journal Science in June 2007. The finding is an important first step that could point to the potential of new therapies using retinoic acid, already used to treat some types of leukemia, to treat various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
