Immune modulation of tonsillar Natural Killer cell immunity by Group A Streptococcus

Summary. The human tonsils are crucial for producing neutralizing antibodies against infection yet are a breeding ground for Group A Streptococcus (GAS) which causes localized illnesses (tonsillitis) but also life threatening, invasive infections (>500,000 global deaths/year). Read more

Investigation of human cytomegalovirus modulation of gamma delta Tcells

Summary. Immune cells are important for the control of viral infections. In particular, innate cytotoxic lymphocytes such as gamma delta T-cells and natural killer (NK) are able to sense healthy tissue and kill tumour and viral-infected cells. Read more

Development and validation of a PCCT scanning protocol to manage kidney and prostate cancer patients with vertebral metastases. (PCCTMETASPINE)

Late stage kidney and prostate cancers are associated with bone metastases, which usually occur in the spine. These lesions may increase the risk of fracture in these patients but it is unclear when there is a need of intervening due to the complexity of the structure of the metastatic vertebrae. Read more
