A putative common bean chalcone O-methyltransferase improves salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana University of Antwerp
Resolving the mechanism of salt stress tolerance in plants becomes a necessity to eventually develop salt-tolerant varieties by determining the key players in tolerance mechanism. Our previous results on transcriptome analysis of common bean under salt stress have revealed an upregulation in a putative chalconeO-methyltransferase (pvChOMT) transcript. In the present study, overexpression of pvChOMT gene in Arabidopsis transgenic lines enhanced ...
To medicalize or not to medicalize University of Antwerp
Today, medicalization is one of the major shifts within the practice of female genital cutting (FGC). Medicalization, as defined by the WHO, refers to any situation in which the practice is performed by a trained health professional, at a public or private clinic, at home, or elsewhere. The question “to medicalize or not to medicalize” is a hot topic in the debate on FGC, typically answered by policy makers through the implementation of an ...

Meat and masculinities University of Antwerp KU Leuven Ghent University
"Real men eat meat." While this idea is on the one hand widespread throughout time and cultures, it has also been criticized as being too stereotypical, not applicable to all men alike, and being dependent on group level cultural beliefs about gender norms. Increasingly some men question male norms and male privileges, and value authenticity, domesticity and holistic self-awareness. They identify themselves with ‘new’ forms of masculinity. This ...
High-throughput screening identifies histone deacetylase inhibitors that modulate GTF2I expression in 7q11.23 microduplication autism spectrum disorder patient-derived cortical neurons University of Antwerp
Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental condition affecting almost 1% of children, and represents a major unmet medical need with no effective drug treatment available. Duplication at 7q11.23 (7Dup), encompassing 26-28 genes, is one of the best characterized ASD-causing copy number variations and offers unique translational opportunities, because the hemideletion of the same interval causes ...
Development of antibody immuno-PET/SPECT radiopharmaceuticals for imaging of oncological disorders University of Antwerp
Positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are molecular imaging strategies that typically use radioactively labeled ligands to selectively visualize molecular targets. The nanomolar sensitivity of PET and SPECT combined with the high specificity and affinity of monoclonal antibodies have shown great potential in oncology imaging. Over the past decades a wide range of radio-isotopes have been ...
Recommendations for the treatment of epilepsy in adult and pediatric patients in Belgium University of Antwerp Flanders Institute for Biotechnology Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
To guide health care professionals in Belgium in selecting the appropriate antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for their epilepsy patients, a group of Belgian epilepsy experts developed recommendations for AED treatment in adults and children (initial recommendations in 2008, updated in 2012). As new drugs have become available, others have been withdrawn, new indications have been approved and recommendations for pregnant women have changed, a new ...
