Mast cells in airway allergies: a new vision on a long-studied cell KU Leuven
The airway epithelium harbors a huge amount of mast cells which play a crucial role in host defense as they can adapt their function to the microenvironment in which the reside. Mast cells react to external and internal stimuli thanks to multiple receptors they express and carry out effector and regulatory tasks by different mediators they release. The most studied function of mast cells is associated with allergy through the binding of ...
Photoalignment templates for chiral liquid crystal lenses and photonic components Ghent University
Recently it has become possible to produce diffractive components with very high efficiency based on inhomogeneous thin liquid crystal layers. The alignment of the liquid crystal is defined by illumination of a photo-sensitive layer with polarized blue or UV light. In this project we want to explore the possibilities of photo-alignment to obtain novel photonic components. We will use optical interference of blue laser light to fabricate ...

Endocytosis and cellular recycling in an ageing context KU Leuven
As living conditions and medical technology improve, an increasing number of people are living to an older age. Unfortunately, this expanded lifespan is linked to an increased amount of unhealthy ageing. A current hypothesis is that a gradual failure of body fluid scavenger cells (e.g. macrophages) contributes to this phenomenon.
To test this hypothesis, I turned to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, in which the coelomocytes are ...

Context
Kleine reeksen, grote variatie en grote onzekerheid over de orderportefeuille zorgen ervoor dat toeleveranciers in de metaalsector moeilijk oplossingen vinden in gestandaardiseerde automatisering. Bijgevolg kent de sector nog heel wat repetitief, manueel werk, wat weegt op enerzijds de productiekosten en anderzijds de ...
