1. Langerhans cell histiocytosis : detection, monitoring and pathophysiology
Abstract : Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that may occur at any age but mainly affects children. Clonally expanded Langerhans cells together with lymphocytes, eosinophils and macrophages form destructive granulomatous lesions in many various organs. The etiology and pathophysiology of the disease still remain elusive. READ MORE

4. Human myeloid cells in cancer, inflammation, and infection
Abstract : Myeloid cells are a part of innate immunity, playing a major role in orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses. While work performed in experiment model systems has significantly increased our knowledge on fundamental myeloid cell functions, studies in well-designed clinical cohorts are important for understanding their functions in human health and disease, such as in cancer, infection and chronic inflammation.

5. The role of monocytes in chronic inflammatory diseases
Abstract : Monocytes and monocyte-derived cells are important players in the orchestration of inflammatory reactions in blood and peripheral tissues. However, little is known about the monocyte fate upon entry into human tissues, and current concepts are mainly based on animal models, with the addition of observational studies in humans that often do not allow determining causality.
