11. Regulation of internalization and replication of intracellular bacterial pathogens
Abstract : The capacity of intracellular bacteria to cause disease depends on their ability to invade and replicate within eukaryotic host cells. These characteristics also allow preferential invasion and replication by facultative anaerobic bacteria in solid tumours, which can be exploited to design delivery vectors for cancer therapy.

14. Human dendritic cells in blood and airways during respiratory viral infection
Abstract : The air we inhale contains oxygen necessary for life, but also potentially harmful microorganisms, toxins and allergens. This presents an important immunological dilemma: how can our lungs quickly and selectively eliminate harmful agents without inflicting damage on the delicate tissues of the lungs? We have thus evolved a network of cells involved in immune surveillance, made up of dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes and macrophages. READ MORE

15. Genetic and molecular dissection of hemolymph coagulation and melanization in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract : Injury to epithelial barriers puts metazoans at risk of loss of body fluid and contamination of their body by foreign particles. This risk is even exacerbated in insects, which have an open circulatory system and as a result, quickly need to seal wounds in order to keep a fairly constant internal milieu. READ MORE
