Development of a microfluidic platform for self-governing selection of individual B-cells using bioresponsive hydrogels: a source of fully human therapeutic antibodies KU Leuven
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are the biggest class of biopharmaceuticals used against cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. As the ability of the human immune system to generate highly specific mAb is unmatched by any man-made approach, several technologies have been developed to generate fully human (FH)-mAb. Among those, single B-cell screening has emerged as a powerful technique. In this project, two KU Leuven groups will join their ...

Role of bioactive androgens in male osteoporosis. KU Leuven
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fractures. The lifetime risk of osteoporotic fractures is as high as 20-25% in Caucasian men, which accounts for about one-third of the societal and economic burden of the disease. Still, older men have about half the fracture risk of post-menopausal women, in part because men develop wider and stronger bones during puberty which ...
