Porphyrins produced by acneic Cutibacterium acnes strains activate the inflammasome by inducing K+ leakage Ghent University
On the formation and structural properties of hexagonal rare earth (Y, Gd, Dy, Er and Yb) disilicide thin films KU Leuven Ghent University
A systematic study was performed of the solid state reaction between a 100 nm thick layer of a rare earth metal and a Si substrate. The solid state reaction of five different rare earth metals (yttrium, gadolinium, dysprosium, erbium and ytterbium) were studied by in situ X-ray diffraction measurements on Si(1 0 0), Si(1 1 1) and poly-Si. This allowed us to make a comparison between the different systems. The formation temperature of h-RESi1.7 ...

Study of interfacial reactions and phase stabilization of mixed Sc, Dy, Hf high-k oxides by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy Hasselt University KU Leuven
Grazing angle attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is applied to study ultrathin film Hf4+, Sc3+ and Dy3+ oxides, due to its high surface sensitivity. The (multi) metal oxides studied, are of interest as high-k dielectrics. Important properties affecting the permittivity, such as the amorphous or crystalline phase and interfacial reactions, are characterized. Dy2O3 is prone to silicate formation on SiO2/Si ...
Double-mode RR Lyrae stars observed by K2 University of Antwerp
The results of a Fourier analysis of high-precision Kepler photometry of 75 double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) stars observed during NASA's K2 Mission (2014-18) are presented. Seventy-two of the stars are 'classical' RRd (cRRd) stars lying along a well-defined curve in the Petersen diagram and showing no evidence of Blazhko modulations. The remaining three stars are 'anomalous' RRd (aRRd) stars that lie well below the cRRd curve in the Petersen diagram. ...
Sulfated Escherichia coli K5 polysaccharide derivatives inhibit dengue virus infection of human microvascular endothelial cells by interacting with the viral envelope protein E domain III KU Leuven
Dengue virus (DENV) is an emerging mosquito-borne pathogen that causes cytokine-mediated alterations in the barrier function of the microvascular endothelium, leading to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). We observed that DENV (serotype 2) productively infects primary (HMVEC-d) and immortalized (HMEC-1) human dermal microvascular endothelial cells, despite the absence of well-described DENV receptors, such as ...
Modulation of voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels by pumiliotoxin 251D: A "joint venture" alkaloid from arthropods and amphibians KU Leuven
Certain amphibians provide themselves with a chemical defense by accumulating lipophilic alkaloids into skin glands from dietary arthropods. Examples of such alkaloids are pumiliotoxins (PTXs). In general, PTXs are known as positive modulators of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). Unlike other PTXs, PTX 251D does not share this characteristic. However, mice and insect studies showed that PTX 251D is highly toxic and to date the basis of its ...
