11. Neuropeptide expression in mouse disease models
Abstract : The role of neuropeptides and the significance of peptidergic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases are still relatively unexplored. In the periphery, nerve injury results in dramatic changes in the expression of neuropeptides (and other molecules). READ MORE

12. Yersinia-phagocyte interactions during early infection
Abstract : Pathogenic Gram-negative Yersinia species preferentially target and inactivate phagocytic cells of the innate immune defense by translocation of effector Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cells via a type III secretion system. This indicates that inactivation and avoidance of the early innate immune response is an efficient way for Yersinia species to avoid elimination and to cause diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y.

14. Studies on the Molecular Biology of the Mouse Pneumotropic Polyomavirus
Abstract : The Murine Pneumotropic Virus (MPtV), in contrast to the other MurinePolyomavirus (MPyV), appears to be non-tumourigenic in its natural host. Instead, MPtV causes acute pneumonia and can serve as a model in studies of polyomavirus-induced disease. In initial experiments, MPtV large T-antigen (LT) was expressed in a heterologous system.

15. Urinary tract infection : pathogenesis and complications
Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in women and children worldwide. If not diagnosed and treated appropriately, it may lead to severe illness and long-term complications. The economic impact caused by UTI on society is significant. In addition, bacterial resistance to common antibiotics is spreading at a high rate. READ MORE
