Fluorescent pseudomonads are ubiquitous gram-negative bacteria able to thrive in very different environments (plant roots, water, polluted soils, mammal host...). As an example, the type species Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known as a pathogen for man but also as a plant-beneficial micro-organism of the rhizosphere. One of the main factors for the survival of fluorescent pseudomonads such as P. aeruginosa and P. fluorescens, is the existence of ...
Skeletal Biology and Engineering Research Center KU Leuven
The Skeletal Biology and Engineering Research Center focuses its research on the understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of skeletal tissue formation, remodeling and repair.
The Center thereby aims to develop treatments for skeletal disorders, in particular regenerative strategies for cartilage, bone and joint repair. These approaches include the manufacturing of novel class Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products, towards we ...

The design of new potential drugs is traditionally the domain of the pharmacochemist. In the last decades Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)-techniques are used more and more to define the 'essential' moieties of a pharmacon. A logical evolution in the search for the relation between the 3D-structure of drugs & their biological activity is the 3D-structure analysis of the biological target molecules and the receptor- ...
