1. Epidermal Melanocyte Response to Radiotherapy
Abstract : Cutaneous interfollicular melanocytes protect the skin from UV-radiation (UVR), and their response to UVR is well established. To date, the response activated in melanocytes by repeated genotoxic insults from radiotherapy (RT) has not been explored. READ MORE

2. Mechanisms of Escherichia coli induced transepithelial neutrophil migration
Abstract : Mucosal infections trigger an inflammatory response that includes the secretion of cytokines and the recruitment of neutrophils to the infected site. This thesis describes studies examining the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. Escherichia coli (E. READ MORE

3. Fatal attraction : NK cell migration toward and activity in solid tumors
Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in tumor immunosurveillance due to their ability to induce apoptosis of tumor cells and produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, without prior immune sensitization. In particular, NK cells demonstrate potent anti-tumor immune responses against metastases and hematological malignancies. READ MORE

4. The effect of beta2-adrenoceptor agonists and steroids on induced airway inflammation and bronchial responsiveness
Abstract : Acute exposure of healthy subjects in a swine barn induces an intense airway inflammation and increased bronchial responsiveness. Dust collected in swine houses is a potent stimulus for release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from cells in vitro. READ MORE

5. Inflammation and cell migration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Abstract : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth most common cause of death worldwide, is characterised by chronic airflow obstruction and chronic inflammation which affects large and, especially, small airways. There is an accumulation of inflammatory cells in the airways in COPD, in particular neutrophils, macrophages and CD8+ T-cells. READ MORE
