1. The HER2/neu oncoprotein and dendritic cells in immunity against tumors
Abstract : It is now well established that small peptide epitopes bound to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), derived from processed proteins synthesized by the tumor cells, can be recognized as antigens by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). A number of tumor antigens recognized by CTLs on human melanomas have been defined, but less is known about antigens from other tumor types. READ MORE

3. Modulation of adaptive immune responses in mice upon exposure to peroxisome proliferators
Abstract : At present, there is an increasing awareness that exposure of mammals to drugs or other foreign chemicals can result in modulation of immunological responses via direct or indirect mechanisms. Changes in the immune system can obviously have profound physiological and pathological consequences. READ MORE

4. Multiphase Contamination in Rock Fractures : Fluid Displacement and Interphase Mass Transfer
Abstract : Multiphase flow and transport in fractured rock is of importance to many practical and engineering applications. In the field of groundwater hydrology an issue of significant environmental concern is the release of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) which can cause long-term groundwater contamination in fractured aquifers.

5. Amyloid beta aggregation kinetics : The role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors
Abstract : Cerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia.
