Exploring the biology of heparanase-1 en heparanase-2 in zebrafish: towards novel insights into the molecular mechanism of non-enzymatic mammalian heparanase 'activity' KU Leuven
Molecular elucidation of the evolutionary success of Salmonella Kentucky ST198 KU Leuven
Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky (S. Kentucky) is a common cause of gastro-enteritis. Although resistance to critically important antibiotics for human medicine is rare among Salmonella species, the clonal variant S. Kentucky ST198 poses an exemption. Phylogeographic analysis indicates this clone first emerged in Egypt around 1989, before disseminating into Northern, Southern and Western Africa, and then further to the Middle East, Asia ...

Discovery of Antiseizure Compounds in Zebrafish Models for the Treatment of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy KU Leuven
With 70 million people affected worldwide is epilepsy one of the most common neurological diseases characterized by unpredictable, unprovoked, recurrent seizures. Moreover, the disease is often accompanied by psychiatric and cognitive comorbidities, affecting dramatically the quality of life of patients. So far, pharmacological intervention is the first-line treatment for epilepsy. Unfortunately, about 30% of patients experience seizures that ...

Combining a non-invasive multimodal imaging approach with provocative manoeuvres to improve risk prediction for sudden cardiac death in ischemic cardiomyopathy. KU Leuven
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) by cardiac rhythm disturbances is an important cause of death in our
society. Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of SCD. The triggers for these lethal
arrhythmias are poorly understood and current risk prediction for SCD is unsatisfactory. We
hypothesize that including assessment of triggers together with a combination of
electrocardiographic and imaging studies can improve ...
