MICRO-TOX: Unravelling the in vitro toxic effects of the mycotoxin beauvericin, bacterial toxin cereulide and cyanobacterial microcystins, and their interactions with co-exposed microplastics Ghent University
Over the lifetime, humans are exposed to an infinite number of toxic chemical contaminants present in the foods and environment. In the past, researchers were focusing on single or a group of similar toxins in order to understand their harm on the body. However, this does not reflect the toxic effects of the real co-exposure to several food and environmental contaminants on the body. Currently, the effects of exposure to a complex mixture of ...

Functional analysis of miR-145 and miR-218 in bovine blastocysts and human embryonic stem cells Ghent University
microRNAU+2019s are important regulators of gene expression networks. For most of them the exact role is unknown. In previous work our research group has shown that miR-145 and miR-218 are expressed in bovine blastocysts and are potential regulators of plurypotency U+2013 cell differentiation. The aim of this PhD project is to test several hypothesis in this framework.
