11. Constraints for dendritic cell differentiation : analysis of autocrine inhibitory mechanisms with therapeutic implications
Abstract : The discovery of dendritic cells (DCs) was followed by an intensive research period aiming at the identification of mechanisms that could induce or inhibit adaptive immune responses through the manipulation of these cells. Only in the recent years the role of metabolic pathways in DC regulation has started to become clear. READ MORE

12. Leishmania and HIV-1 interaction : immunopathogenic mechanisms
Abstract : Both Leishmania and HIV can infect and multiply in macrophages, and both can dysregulate the T-helper (Th) immune system. This thesis was, therefore, undertaken to unravel some of the underlying immunopathogenic mechanisms of the interaction of the two pathogens. READ MORE

13. Cerebellar pathways and mechanisms in classical conditioning
Abstract : It has been suggested that the cerebellar mossy fibre afferents transmit the conditioned stimulus (CS) information to the cerebellum. Several studies are consistent with this suggestion but alternative explanations have not been excluded. READ MORE

14. Itch and Pain Inhibitory Mechanisms in Humans - evidence for a differential control of nociceptive senses
Abstract : It is known that stimulation of thin nerve afferents can inhibit itch and pain and that the nociceptive systems have a detailed topographical organisation, with subsystems exhibiting specific excitatory and inhibitory receptive fields. On this basis, a new technique was developed, termed Cutaneous Field Stimulation (CFS), that electrically stimulates thin nerve fibers innervating specific skin fields. READ MORE

15. Somatosensory dysfunctin in fibromyaligia : implications for pathophysiological mechanisms
Abstract : Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by generalized pain, tenderness, disturbed sleep and pronounced fatigue. The pathophysiology is unknown but peripheral mechanisms (i.e., muscle ischemia) as well as central mechanisms (dysfunction in endogenous pain modulation) have been implicated. READ MORE
