11. On the regulation of immune responses to dietary and self antigens
Abstract : Regulatory mechanisms are necessary to avoid the misdirected aggressive immune responses responsible for the pathology seen in autoimmunity and allergy. Thymic-derived CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are indispensible for this regulation. We investigated if CD4+CD25+ Treg prevents auto-reactive responses in adult peripheral blood and cord blood.

13. From oral infection to autoimmunity : studies of antibodies and B cells on the path towards rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints, which can lead to irreversible joint destruction and disability if not treated properly. The majority of patients are seropositive, defined by presence of autoantibodies, i.e. READ MORE

14. Biology of a small RNA virus that infects Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract : Drosophila melanogaster has been extensively used as a model organism to study diverse facets of biology, including host-pathogen interactions and the basic biology of its pathogens. I have used the fruit fly as a model to study elementary aspects of Nora virus biology, such as the role of the different proteins encoded by the virus genome. READ MORE

15. Joint disease biomarkers - discovery and application
Abstract : Dysregulated cartilage homeostasis, articular cartilage degradation and abnormal bone remodeling are common denominators in joint disease and can lead to severe disability for the patients. The molecular pathways behind the disease pathology can overlap across different joint diseases. READ MORE
