1. Functional characterization of interactions between the flavivirus NS5 protein and PDZ proteins of the mammalian host
Abstract : Flaviviruses are found all over the world and affect and infect millions of people every year. Flavivirus infection can lead to severe clinical outcomes resulting in neuronal damages e.g. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), or severe hemorrhagic fevers e. READ MORE

2. Genetic Risk Factors for Cervical Carcinoma in situ
Abstract : Oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are implicated in 99.7 % of cervical cancer cases but require the co-operation of other factors. To investigate potential genetic risk factors we have typed the HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 loci in 478 women diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in situ and in 608 age-matched controls. READ MORE

3. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects
Abstract : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. READ MORE

4. Molecular characterization of the Drosophila responses towards nematodes
Abstract : A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems.

5. Innate Immunity in Insects, Function and Regulation of Hemolin from Hyalophora cecropia
Abstract : Insects are useful models for the study of innate immune reactions and development. The distinction between recognition mechanisms preceding the breakdown of apoptotic cells during metamorphosis, and the breakdown of cells in response to infections, is unclear. READ MORE
