Cadmium-induced autophagy in Arabidopsis thaliana plants: Its involvement in accelerated senescence in mature leaves and acclimation in young ones Hasselt University
Connecting the molecular structure and function of P4/P5B transport ATPases to neuronal cell biology KU Leuven
Research in the Laboratory of Cellular Transport Systems (Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine; KU Leuven) focuses on P-type transport ATPases in mammalian organism including their role in human neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. P-type ATPases are transport proteins that generate vital ion or lipid gradients across the plasma membrane or organellar membranes of nearly every cell in the organism. Our current ...
The effects of biostimulants on the growth and physiological parameters of selected species of energy crops Hasselt University
Theoretical study of group III-V two-dimensional materials and heterostructures. University of Antwerp
Non-radiative transitions in luminescent materials: from energy surfaces to dynamics Ghent University
Luminescent materials or phosphors are able to emit light as result of a certain stimulus. This can be the absorption of light itself, mechanical stress or temperature. Due to their particular functional behavior, these materials are found in numerous applications such as lighting, displays, medical imaging… Phosphors are composed of an insulating crystal which is deliberately doped by
metal impurities, activating the luminescent ...
Aluminum toxicity in plants, understanding responses to aluminum in sensitive and tolerant rye genotypes University of Antwerp
Model based synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) for heterogeneous catalysis in flow. Ghent University
A next generation of heterogeneous catalysts will be developed starting from stable porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to which numerous active metal complexes will be anchored. The potential of COFs is currently almost unexplored. The new materials will be engineered on the nanometer scale and tested using a microreactor set-up. As a result, various sustainable processes which are not possible today on industrial scale, will become ...
