The pivotal role of the mentor in triggering the research on Complement system.

Abstract:

:Despite the fact that was one of the first systems to be discovered and investigated in the innate immunity, Complement is continuing to receive growing attention by the scientific community. Complement is involved in several diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis or Systemic Lupus Erythematous. Successful therapeutic intervention in treating Complement-mediated diseases such as Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome represent a promising advance to continue the research on Complement to develop specific inhibitors for treating human diseases.

  • Epigenetic aspects of DC development and differentiation.

    abstract::In this review we introduce the basic principles of epigenetic gene regulation and discuss them in the context of dendritic cell (DC) development and differentiation. Epigenetic mechanisms control the accessibility of chromatin for DNA binding proteins and thus they control gene expression. These mechanisms comprise c...
