Electrical impedance spectroscopy and 3D cell cultures as emerging technologies for studying signal transduction pathways: the curious case of cathelicidins KU Leuven
This doctoral dissertation has two important parts. The first part covers experiments on elucidating the signal transduction pathways of recently discovered candidate bioactive peptides. The second part introduces 3D cell culture systems and expands on differential gene expression between 2D and 3D cell cultures using RNA-sequencing.
Bioactive peptides perform countless functions in multicellular organisms as key players in cell-cell ...
