The use of human tissue in epidemiological research; ethical and legal considerations in two biobanks in Belgium (2009)

Kellen, Eliane, Arbyn, Marc, Trommelmans, Leen, Hensen, Karen, ...

This paper discusses the legal implications of setting up two new biobanks in Belgium. The first is hospital-based and will archive tissue from patients with haematologic cancer, whereas the second...

Compromised CD4(+) CD25(high) regulatory T-cell function in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis is correlated with a reduced frequency of FOXP3-positive cells and reduced FOXP3 expression at the single-cell level (2008)

Accumulating evidence indicates an immunosuppressive role for CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in autoimmune diseases. Although an impaired Treg function in patients with relapsing-remitting...

Plag1 and Plagl2 are oncogenes that induce acute myeloid leukemia in cooperation with Cbfb-MYH11 (2004)

Landrette, Sean F., Kuo, Ya-Huei, Hensen, Karen, Perrat, Paola N., ...

Recurrent chromosomal rearrangements are associated with the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The frequent inversion of chromosome 16 creates the CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene that encodes the...
