7. Dendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy
Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses and have increasingly been applied as vaccines for cancer patients. Ex vivo generation and antigen loading of monocyte-derived DCs allows a controlled maturation, with the aim of imprinting different DC functions that are essential for their subsequent induction of a T cell-mediated anti-tumor response.

9. Cell signalling in cancer. A functional and immunochemical investigation of purinergic,adrenergic, nitrergic, and prostaglandin mediated signalling mechanisms in experimental and human cancer
Abstract : Disturbed cell signalling is a hallmark of the cancer cell, being one important mechanismbehind uncontrolled cell growth. In the current study, we have investigated cancer cellsignalling with the focus on some first messenger and/or their receptors, in the murine celllines, MCG 101, and K1735-M2, and the human colon cancer cell line, HT-29.

10. The role of human cytomegalovirus infection in cancer
Abstract : Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is thought that up to 20% of cancers are caused by infectious agents, and an oncogenic role of several viruses has been established for certain tumours. Increasing evidence implies that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with a number of malignancies. READ MORE
