1. Cellular mechanisms of interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli and renal epithelial cells
Abstract : Urinary tract infections will often, particularly in children, lead to renal scar formation or hypoplastic small kidneys post-infectiously. The most common causative agent is uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). READ MORE

2. Studies of cell signalling using bacterial toxins and organic electronic devices
Abstract : One of the most versatile biological signalling entities is the calcium ion, Ca2+. With a characteristic spatial and temporal signalling pattern, this universal second-messenger directs diverse cellular functions, e.g. secretion of neurotransmitters at the synaptic cleft to regulation of transcription and fertilization.

3. Novel signaling pathways : induced by bacterial toxins in eukaryotic cells
Abstract : Inflammation is the process by which the host counteracts microbes that are constantly exposing the human body. These microbes rarely cause disease, due to the effective defense mechanisms of the host immune system. Although inflammation is essential for preventing infections, it can also damage the host.

4. Visualizing the dynamic interplay between the host and bacterial pathogen : a real-time study of renal infection
Abstract : The human body is a complex entity capable of handling a variety of pathogenic challenges without developing disease symptoms. Sometimes, however, the pathogens are superior and the host immune system is unable to clear the infection. READ MORE

5. Molecular diagnosis of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum and virulence factors in Entamoeba histolytica
Abstract : Four species of the protozoan parasite genus Plasmodium are known to infect man. Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent species is increasingly associated with resistance to antimalarial drugs. READ MORE
