21. Viral respiratory tract infections in children
Abstract : The most common infection in humans is viral respiratory tract infections which predominantly present as the ‘common cold’. In some circumstances however, respiratory viruses cause acute lower respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and due to the high absolute number of infection the contribution of these cases to total morbidity and mortality are substantial.

22. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4
Abstract : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. READ MORE

Abstract : The adult Central Nervous System (CNS) harbors neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in three areas: the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone in the hippocampus and around the central canal in the spinal cord. The NPCs can be isolated and cultured in vitro. READ MORE

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae are two of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhea in developing countries. READ MORE
