Diagnostic and therapeutic potential of microRNA-212 in HFpEF. University of Antwerp
Pathophysiological mechanisms and exercise counter measures of hypermetabolism and muscle wasting in severe burns. University of Antwerp
Single cell(-type) platform for biological applications. KU Leuven
The recent soar in single cell and single cell-type analyses relies on breakthrough technologies to unveil tissue heterogeneity. Until recently, researchers in biological and life sciences would work at the resolution of entire organs or tissues, for example by trying to establish how the brain displays plasticity and how that affects the entire organism. It is however no secret that organs and tissues consist of different cell types, which ...
Melanopsin mediated photoreception: A common regulator of both seasonal neuroplasticity and cerebral vasculature function. University of Antwerp
Can antioxidants ameliorate the development and quality of embryos under maternal metabolic stress conditions? University of Antwerp
Therapeutic modulation of the gastrointestinal permeability-inflammation-pain axis. University of Antwerp
Deciphering the network that links nutrient signaling in yeast with growth potential, pH and Ca2+ homeostasis, ageing and lifespan, resistance and virulence. KU Leuven
Cells of all living organisms are equipped with complex signal transduction networks enabling to make appropriate changes in metabolism in response to environmental changes. In this project, our focus is on how several signaling pathways in brewer’s yeast and pathogenic fungi integrate to control traits like stress resistance, reserve carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, ageing and lifespan, drug tolerance and, in case of pathogenic ...
