6. The role of natural killer cells and inflammatory mediators in preeclamptic pregnancies
Abstract : The maternal immune system must be able to adjust during pregnancy and accept the foetus that expresses paternal antigens. These changes are found both in placenta and circulation, including a mild inflammatory response. NK cells are abundant during the early part of pregnancy in placenta and are thought to be important for placental development. READ MORE

7. The leukocyte complexity and mutational landscape of periampullary adenocarcinoma. Morphology matters
Abstract : Background: Periampullary adenocarcinomas are a heterogenous group of tumours with poor prognosis that hasnot improved considerably the last decades. Tumour morphology, i.e. intestinal type (I-type) or pancreatobiliarytype (PB-type), has been demonstrated to be a more relevant prognostic factor than anatomical origin. READ MORE

8. On the role of Natural Killer cell immunogenetics for the outcome of immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia
Abstract : Numerous studies have revealed that natural killer cells have fundamental roles as effector cells in myeloid leukemias. Thus, understanding NK cell-related biomarkers that influence clinical outcome are warranted. READ MORE

9. Function of natural killer cells in Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer
Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most wide-spread infections in the world and causes a chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal mucosa characterised by increased production of IFN-γ and is associated with an increased risk of developing gastric cancer. The mechanisms behind the development of gastric cancer in H. READ MORE

10. Ultrasound-assisted Interactions of Natural Killer Cells with Cancer Cells and Solid Tumors
Abstract : In this Thesis, we have developed a microtechnology-based method for culturing and visualizing high numbers of individual cells and cell-cell interactions over extended periods of time. The foundation of the device is a silicon-glass multiwell microplate (also referred as microchip) directly compatible with fluorescence microscopy. READ MORE
