1. Automated Tissue Image Analysis Using Pattern Recognition
Abstract : Automated tissue image analysis aims to develop algorithms for a variety of histological applications. This has important implications in the diagnostic grading of cancer such as in breast and prostate tissue, as well as in the quantification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers that may help assess the risk of recurrence and the responsiveness of tumors to endocrine therapy.

2. Pattern-recognition receptors in airway inflammation
Abstract : Airway inflammation is a defining feature of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Bacterial and viral infections are known to cause exacerbations of both diseases, but knowledge about the mechanisms involved is limited. READ MORE

3. Pattern-recognition receptors and neutrophils in cancer inflammation
Abstract : Chronic inflammation, induced by the use of tobacco and alcohol, or caused by infections has long been suggested to constitute a risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The innate immunity is the first line of defense against pathogens, comprising physical and chemical barriers, anti-microbial peptides, pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) as well as different kinds of cells, including neutrophils.

4. Polymorphism in pattern recognition receptor genes in pigs
Abstract : The mammalian immune defense consists of two systems, which are interconnected and co-operate to provide host defense. The innate immune system is always active and detects and responds to non-self without delay. The adaptive immune system has a lag phase, but is more specific and has got a memory. READ MORE

5. Innate immunity in atherosclerosis : the role of pattern recognition receptors
Abstract : The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is greatly influenced by the activities of both innate and adaptive immunity. Danger signals such as cholesterol crystals, oxidized LDL, and modified phospholipids may trigger sterile inflammation in atherosclerosis. READ MORE
