6. Immunological aspects of maternal-foetal interactions in mice
Abstract : Mammalian pregnancy is an immunological paradox. The foetus, which expresses both paternal and maternal cell-surface molecules, has to be protected from rejection by the maternal immune system. At the same time, the mother has to have an efficient immune defence and must provide her offspring with antibodies. READ MORE

7. Neural progenitors for sensory and motor repair
Abstract : Injury and neurodegenerative conditions of the spinal cord can lead to paralysis and loss of sensation. Cell therapeutic approaches can restore sensory innervation of the spinal cord following injury and protect spinal cord cells from degeneration. READ MORE

8. Immune regulation at the foetal-maternal interface; implications for healthy and complicated pregnancies
Abstract : For a successful pregnancy, the maternal immune system must acquire tolerance towards the paternal antigens present in the semi-allogeneic foetus. This tolerance is mainly established locally at the foetal-maternal interface, where foetally-derived trophoblasts invade the maternal endometrium (called decidua during pregnancy) and come in close proximity to maternal immune cells.

9. Identification of dopamine neuron progenitors in the embryonic midbrain and stem cell cultures - Studies on the role of neuronal subtype and differentiation state for cell replacemen in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease
Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where the dopamine producing neurons in the ventral mesencephalon (VM) progressively die and result in symptoms such as resting tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness and difficulties in initiating movements.Currently there is no cure for PD and the available drug treatments only offer symptomatic relief and are often associated with severe side effects.

10. The role of gastrin and extracellular matrix proteins in proliferation and differentiation of gastric epithelial cells
Abstract : The mechanisms regulating the proliferation and differentiation processes that give rise to and maintain the gastric epithelium have not yet been completely elucidated.In the present studies, in vitro models were established and the influence of growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins on these processes were investigated.
