7. MicroRNAs in skin immunity and psoriasis
Abstract : The skin protects the organism from the environment and shields it from the constant danger of infections by microorganisms. Keratinocytes are epithelial cells in the skin that constitute a physical barrier towards the environment. READ MORE

8. Interplay between bacteria and host epithelial cells
Abstract : Bacterial pathogens have developed multiple ways of manipulating host cell functions to exploit the host environment. We found that interactions with epithelial cells increase the resistance of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis to the antimicrobial peptide LL-37. READ MORE

Abstract : Intracellular bacterial pathogens have developed mechanisms to enter and invade cells, to survive the immune response and to replicate inside the host. We studied the innate mechanisms that have evolved in the host to battle intracellular bacterial pathogens, such as the obligate intracellular Chlamydia pneumoniae and the facultative intracellular Listeria monocytogenes, which invade the respiratory and the gastrointestinal tracts in humans.
