Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...

Comparative Perinatal Development (CoPeD) University of Antwerp

Research on non-rodent animal species i.c. the pig, can significantly contribute to the unraveling of the etiopathogenesis of certain human pathological conditions. In addition, research results will provide an insight into the equivalent veterinary disorders. Approximately 16% of the newborn piglets and ± 5% of the children suffer from intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR). In both species, IUGR is associated with an increased perinatal ...

Department of Comparative sciences of culture Ghent University

The research programme seeks to address the following challenges: How does one get beyond these constraints and develop alternative descriptions of the West and India? How can one conceptualize the Indian traditions in a way which shows their characteristic contribution to human knowledge, rather than making them into variants of biblical religion? How could one make sense of cultural differences and different cultures, if they are not ...
