16. On the regulation and effects of chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease is thought to result from the inappropriate and ongoing activation of the mucosal immune system driven by the presence of normal luminal flora. In this process monocytes/macrophages contribute to and maintain chronic inflammation by being both regulatory and effector cells. READ MORE

17. Allergic and non-allergic asthma: Translational research in immunology
Abstract : Asthma is a chronic heterogeneous respiratory disease affecting more than 300 million people globally. The different phenotypes, including allergic and nonallergic asthma, are driven by different underlying mechanisms illustrating the complexity of the disease. READ MORE

18. Role of Toll-like receptors in airway inflammation
Abstract : Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are germline-encoded pathogen-recognition receptors that detect different microbial structures and activate the immune system. The human TLR family presently comprises ten members (TLR1-TLR10), each with distinct properties. READ MORE

19. Airway epithelial shedding: Morphological and functional aspects in vivo
Abstract : Epithelial damage may contribute to the pathology in airway diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. However, the distribution of epithelial shedding in inflammatory airway diseases and, particularly, the ensuing repair processes are largely unknown. READ MORE

20. Eosinophil Cationic Protein : Expression Levels and Polymorphisms
Abstract : The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is usually associated with the eosinophil granulocyte. In this thesis the presence and production of this protein has been studied in two other cells. The circulating monocyte was found to contain ECP mRNA and small amounts of ECP, one thousand times less than that found in the eosinophil. READ MORE
