Regulation of placental development in horses: reciprocal parental control of angiogenesis in equine placenta and abnormal placental development. Ghent University
Pathological conditions of the placenta have significant effects on the health of fetus and mother. In mares, pathological conditions, such as fetal growth retardation, placentitis and hydrops, are associated with compromised placental vascularization. Using high-throughput data, we aim to gain insight into the regulatory mechanisms of vascularization in the normal and abnormal placenta and provide fundamental information on placental ...

Experimental evolution in Candida biofilms: does drug tolerance facilitate drug resistance development in fungi?Experimental evolution in Candida biofilms: does drug tolerance facilitate drug resistance development in fungi? KU Leuven
Invasive fungal infections pose a profound and growing public health threat with treatment failure and mortality estimates often surpassing 50%. Only three major antifungal drug classes are available to treat lethal fungemia and the incidence of resistance to these drugs has risen significantly in recent years. Moreover, multidrug resistant (MDR) ‘superbugs’ like Candida auris have emerged. Despite these alarming concerns, fungal infections ...
Misregulation of lymphatic valve development by impaired BMP signalling as potential risk factor for development of breast-cancer related lymphedema KU Leuven
The growing population of breast cancer survivors has resulted in an increased focus on management and early prevention of acute and chronic side-effects of cancer treatment like breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL). BCRL is a progressive condition that can result in chronic swelling of the arm with irreversible changes. BCRL can have a detrimental impact on the quality of life of breast cancer survivors, and often requires life-long ...

Development of a statistical framework for the analysis of single-cell multiomics datasets: towards a molecular atlas of the development of human preimplantation embryos. KU Leuven
The first cell cycles of human life are commonly subject to genome instability. However, the causes and consequences of the genetic alterations in the cells of the developing embryo remain to be investigated. Also the epigenetic landscape –i.e. modifications to the DNA that do not change the DNA-sequence but which can be heritable and control the expression of genes in the cells– is remodeled during early development of a human embryo. This ...
