Transforming Human Interface Designs via Model Driven Engineering. University of Antwerp
The barrier role of the vitreoretinal interface toward intravitreal injected proteins, viruses and siRNA nanoparticles: ex vivo bovine screening models and siRNA nanoparticle design. Ghent University
An intravitreal injection is a way of delivering medications to the retina in the back of the eye.
Anti-VEGF medications, for example, are injected monthly into the vitreous cavity after which they
diffuse to the retina which is separated from the vitreous with a very thin but difficult to penetrate
inner limiting membrane (ILM). The vitreous (the transparent gel that fills the center of the eye)
and ILM are strong ...
May AI Help You? Human-AI Interaction in End-User User Interface Development Vrije Universiteit Brussel
tablets and smartwatches, and the emergence of "smart things"
forming part of the Internet of Things (IoT), user interfaces (UIs) have
to be adapted in order to cope with the different input and output
methods as well as device characteristics. In addition to the
challenges dealing with these rapidly changing technologies, user
interface ...
From in vitro to in silico model: An engineering approach towards design of oil-in-water-based food products with tailored lipid digestion KU Leuven
The digestion of lipids in the human body has several health and nutritional implications. On the one side, a balanced lipid intake provides energy and essential fatty acids. On the other side, lipid overconsumption increases the risk of developing metabolic related diseases such as obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. In addition, lipid-based products could be employed as delivery systems for lipophilic functional compounds or as ...
Rational design of biologics for therapeutic development (FoldCo) KU Leuven
The aim of the project is to bring together the best protein engineering expertise in Europe to build an integrated protein design and validation platform and to illustrate its potential on various high-value targets.
Structure-guided design of BK/JC virus capsid targeting antivirals KU Leuven
BK and JC viruses are closely related members of the polyomavirus family that latently infect 70-90% of humans and cause fatal clinical complications in immunocompromised patients (kidney failure and brain demyelination). There are no effective drugs to treat these infections. The lack of conventional, enzymatic antiviral targets such as proteases or integrases makes any development challeging. The small genome of polyomaviruses encodes two ...

pieces of themselves in order to understand their complexity and, in
turn, create such advanced systems, e.g. robots. However, the
produced robots are still limited in terms of human-like capabilities.
They fail to produce complex motions and interactions and are often
made out of a single material since multi-material parts are difficult to
