- Biology, MedicineJournal of Translational Medicine
- 22 April 2008
Evidence is offered that Foxp3 expression, characterizes tumor cells of various tissue origins, and warrants further investigation in the context of tumor immune escape, and under the light of current anti-cancer efforts interfering with Fox p3 expression.

Large scale, in-depth genetic studies are expected not only to answer these emerging questions but also to further elucidate many of the unmet aspects of angioedema pathogenesis.
Regulation of the autophagic machinery in human neutrophils
- I. Mitroulis, I. Kourtzelis, K. Ritis
- Biology, MedicineEuropean Journal of Immunology
- 1 May 2010
Evidence is provided that autophagy is implicated in human neutrophils in both a phagocytosis‐independent (rapamycin, TLR agonists, PMA) and phagcytosis (Escherichia coli)‐dependent initiation manner and a transcriptional level of regulation for the autophagic machinery.

Foxp3 Expression in Liver Correlates with the Degree but Not the Cause of Inflammation
- M. Speletas, N. Argentou, A. Germenis
- Biology, MedicineMediators of Inflammation
- 25 May 2011
Results indicate that, independently of the initial inducer, liver inflammation is correlated with elevated expression of apoptosis mediators and is followed by local Treg accumulation, which was positively correlated with the intensity of inflammation.
Fabry disease due to D313Y and novel GLA mutations
- K. Koulousios, K. Stylianou, A. Germenis
- Medicine, BiologyBMJ Open
- 1 October 2017
It seems that the D313Y mutation is related to a later-onset milder phenotype than the typical phenotype with normal lysoGb3 concentration, which underlines the significance of family member genotyping and newborn screening to avoid misdiagnoses and crucial delays in diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
