    Abstract : The human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are highly polymorphic cell surface proteins encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on chromosome 6. The HLA system has been well known as transplantation antigens but the primary biological role of the HLA molecules is regulation of immune response by presenting peptide fragments to T-lymphocytes.

    Abstract : The major limiting factor in the treatment of patients with end-stage organ failure is the insufficient number of human organs available for transplantation. An unlimited access to human cells, tissues and organs would also open up possibilities to treat several chronic diseases, such as diabetes, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, affecting millions of patients worldwide.

    Abstract : Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis. PsA has a heterogeneous pattern, expressed by different manifestations such as mild mono-oligoarthritis or very severe, erosive and destructive polyarthritis. Measurable inflammatory activity is not always prominent. READ MORE
