Human Physiology and Special Physiology of Physical Education Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The research into the physiological effects of exercise performed in the human physiology lab can be divided into several aspects. We study the effects of physical activity and inactivity on health status and quality of life. These aspects are examined with a longitudinal study where pathophysiological mechanisms and preventive measures are included. Our research into the more practical aspects of exercise and training includes: the influence ...

Department of General physiology and human physiology and pathophysiology Ghent University

The research program at the department of Physiology & Pathophysiology aims to unravel the mechanisms of local control of blood vessel function by endothelial and parenchymatous cells in various vascular beds. One focus is directed towards control of brain perfusion, brain metabolism and blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport by normal and pathological signals from the neuropil. In particular, the local influence of astrocyte calcium signals on ...

Department of Comparative physiology and biometrics Ghent University

The research focuses on developing new statistical methodology with veterinary applications. The main research topic consists of modeling the infection dynamics of infectious diseases based on the frailty model.

Physiology University of Antwerp

We study the (patho)physiology of the heart as a muscular pump at the level of clinical medicine, mechanical muscle performance, cellular and molecular biology. A central theme in the laboratory is that the cardiac endothelium modulates the muscular properties of the heart through direct communication with cardiac myocytes. We hypothesize that cardiac endothelial activation/dysfunction is an important pathophysiological aspect of heart failure. ...

Human Physiology and General Biochemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The department MFAB develops research activities in the domains of human physiology (see also research group MFYS) and general biochemistry ( see also research group ABIS). Most research activities of MFYS are dealing with the physiological effects of exercise and can be ranged within the following research subjects: - The effects of physical activity and inactivity on health status and quality of life; - Research into the more practical ...

Human Physiology and Sports Physiotherapy Research Group Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Responsible

The research group MFYS explores the interaction of exercise on neurochemistry and neurophysiology. The research is concentrated at several levels: Fundamental – Physiological research; Applied – Clinical research and Benchmarking – Policy making research.
Most of the research projects progress through these 3 levels, starting from fundamental studies (e.g. animal studies) through applied, clinical trials, which could lead to ...

Molecular and Physical Plant Physiology Hasselt University

To assess the role played by the endogenous hormone balance on developmental processes, physiological responses are studied of plants, that has been genetically transformed and are characterized by an increased or decreased endogenous cytokinin content. Several plants, each characterized by a specific transformed genetic construction are used. The effect of the transformation (cytokinine- and CKX-plants) is studied on plant development, ...

Molecular biophysics, physiology and pharmacology University of Antwerp

The laboratory for molecular biophysics, physiology and pharmacology studies the underlying mechanisms of the excitability of the heart or nervous system. The electrical activity is regulated by ionic currents passing the plasmamembrane, originating from the opening and closing of ion channels. The determination of the molecular architecture, the modulation by external factors or drugs, the elucidation of the structure function relationship as ...
