VN geeft veel te lage cijfers over aantal burgerslachtoffers in Afghanistan

2012-02-13T16:05:00.001+01:00

Onlangs maakten de Verenigde Naties bekend hoeveel burgerslachtoffers er in 2011 in de oorlog in Afghanistan vielen. Net als in het VN-jaarverslag over 2010 was het aantal gedode burgers 3.000, waarvan driekwart door toedoen van de Taliban. Op dat rapport over 2010 kwam ernstige kritiek omdat het aantal burgerslachtoffers van de NAVO-acties veel te laag werd ingeschat.

Het VN-onderzoek naar het aantal burgerslachtoffers wordt uitgevoerd in samenwerking met de Afghaanse Mensenrechten Commissie IAHRC. Lees verder.

Video: T Cell of the Immune System Attacking a Cancer Cell

2012-02-11T18:26:00.002+01:00

Professor Gillian Griffiths: "Cells of the immune system protect the body against pathogens. If cells in our bodies are infected by viruses, or become cancerous, then killer cells of the immune system identify and destroy the affected cells.

Cytotoxic T cells are very precise and efficient killers. They are able to destroy infected or cancerous cells, without destroying healthy cells surrounding them. The Wellcome Trust funded laboratory of Professor Gillian Griffiths, at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, investigates just how this is accomplished.

By understanding how this works, we can develop ways to control killer cells. This will allow us to find ways to improve cancer therapies, and ameliorate autoimmune diseases caused when killer cells run amok and attack healthy cells in our bodies."
