6. Cancer Immunotherapy : Evolving Oncolytic viruses and CAR T-cells
Abstract : In the last decade cancer immunotherapy has taken huge strides forward from bench to bedside and being approved as drugs. Cancer immunotherapy harnesses the power of patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. READ MORE

7. Emerging role of RIG-I-like receptors in antiviral innate immunity in airway structural cells
Abstract : Respiratory viral infections, especially involving rhinovirus, are main triggers of exacerbations of asthma and COPD. These severe conditions are a great burden to both the individual and society and currently lack effective treatments. READ MORE

8. Regulation of dendritic cell differentiation, maturation and activation
Abstract : The human immune system efficiently protects the host from exogenous pathogens such as bacteria, virus and parasites and endogenous threats such as damaged cells and tumors. Invasion of pathogens and other threats activate the innate immunity causing secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines with the subsequent antigen presentation and activation of the adaptive immunity resulting in T and B cell responses.

9. New aspects of allergic mechanisms and innate immunity in asthma. Alarmins as upstream mediators of asthma inflammation
Abstract : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease affecting over 300 million individuals worldwide. Both respiratory viral infections and aeroallergens have been identified as important risk factors for asthma. READ MORE

10. Generating Dendritic Cells by Direct Cell Reprogramming. Merging cellular reprogramming with immunology towards the development of novel cancer immunotherapies
Abstract : Cell fate reprogramming towards pluripotency or alternative somatic cell-types has highlighted the plasticity of adult somatic cells, providing new technologies to generate desired cell types for tissue repair or for disease modeling. There is momentum to bring these concepts to immunology by specifying unique immune cellular identities that set in motion immune responses. READ MORE
