2. Studies on the Bcl-2 Family of Apoptosis Regulators in the Nervous System
Abstract : Apoptosis is a type of cell death with a specific morphology and molecular program, which is essential for the development of the nervous system. However, inappropriate cell death has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. READ MORE

3. Mechanisms in inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the nervous system : immunological and methodological aspects
Abstract : The diseases studied in this thesis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (PNMGUS), are of autoimmune origin with myelin components as putative auto antigens. T cells are important for the pathogenesis, as well as the cytokine network and autoantibodies. READ MORE

4. Host-pathogen interactions during tick-borne flavivirus infection : pathogenesis, tropism and tools
Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a neurotropic member of the genus Flavivirus. It may transmit to humans through the bite of an infected tick or consumption of unpasteurized dairyproducts, and causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE constitutes a significant health burden in Eurasia, with more than 10,000 cases reported every year. READ MORE

5. Towards Heart Rate Variability Tools in P-Health : Pervasive, Preventive, Predictive and Personalized
Abstract : Heart rate variability (HRV) has received much attention lately. It has been shown that HRV can be used to monitor the autonomic nervous system and to detect autonomic dysfunction, especially vagal dysfunction. Reduced HRV is associated with several diseases and has also been suggested as a predictor of poor outcomes and sudden cardiac death. READ MORE
