Cholesterol receptors and transporters as crucial regulators of CNS inflammation Hasselt University
Microfluorimetric and biochemical study of the membrane organization of oligodendrocytes when subjected to cholesterol modulation factors Hasselt University
Pathophysiological relevance of the cholesterol regulation of the chemosensory channel TRPA1 KU Leuven
Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a cholesterol and fatty acid rich environment: global response to dormancy and antibiotic resistance Ghent University
Little is still known on the role of lipids in the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The general objective of this research project is to determine and analyze the global genetic expression of M. tuberculosis and to evaluate its drug susceptibility in an in vitro latency model in the presence of lipids cholesterol and fatty acids.

Crystallization and melting behavior of phytosterol esters and their phase behavior in blends with palm oil KU Leuven
Phytosterols are plant based compounds with chemical structures similar to cholesterol and have nutritionally beneficial properties, more specifically a blood cholesterol lowering effect. In order to increase their lipid solubility and thus facilitate their incorporation into fat containing food products, phytosterols are esterified with fatty acids (FA) to obtain phytosterol esters. Addition of PE to fat (containing products) will ...
