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 ...

Impact of vision loss on cellular processing in the visual cortex and its relation to multisensory processing and behavior KU Leuven
The loss of senses such as seeing and hearing is one of the major sources of disability and is associated with high economic costs. With an aging population, there is an acute need for low-cost and effective therapies to help patients cope with and to compensate for sensory losses, as well as for new devices that can restore function. Key to these developments is an understanding of the physiological changes that occur in the brain upon loss ...
