Treatment of osteochondral joint surface defects: towards engineering a bio-artificial joint. KU Leuven
Current clinical treatments for large long bone and osteochondral defects are limited by either tissue availability or incapacity to regenerate tissues to their original functionality. Regenerative medicine, and more specifically tissue engineering (TE), shows great potential to meet this clinical need by creating in vitro implants able to heal large bone and osteochondral defects. The current PhD project aimed to develop a ...

The application and the added value of dual-energy computed tomography in the diagnosis of medial coronoid disease of the elbow joint and partial cranial cruciate ligament rupture of the stifle joint in dogs. Ghent University
This is the first study that will investigate the application of dual-energy computed tomography in the diagnosis of medial coronoid disease (MCD) and partial cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs. This study can provide novel insights into the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and prevention of MCD and partial cranial cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs.
How does the Trapeziometacarpal joint really function ? Anatomy and Biomechanics of the thumb KU Leuven
The basal thumb joint or trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is crucial for the high mobility of the thumb. Its particular configuration has been described as a saddle joint with two principal axes of motion allowing extension-flexion and abduction-adduction. In addition, the thumb can rotate around its long axis, a movement also referred to as pronation-supination. During opposition of the thumb, which is typically used to score thumb mobility ...
Law, Science and Technology Joint Doctorate: Rights of the Internet of Everything KU Leuven
nternet of Everything (IoE) is one of the major technological trends, going beyond the ongoing Internet of Things era
focused only on connecting devices. IoE looks at the connection of devices, persons and data via processes: “IoE connects
the unconnected with ever-smarter technology. It brings people together with process, data, and things.” If on the one hand it
is considered as a huge opportunity estimated at 19b$ it ...
Re-reading Form through the Agency of the Joint. The Archaeological Attitude of Design Driven Research KU Leuven
Can the study of the material's identity, the detail, and the binding—reciprocal dependence between things be observed as a point of onset, rather than of arrival, for architectural analysis and design?
Can the systematic questioning of relations of secondness, material and formal joints between elements, parts and fragments of a work become its structuring artifice, the red thread that orients its technical and expressive ...

Next generation diagnostics and susceptibility testing in biofilm-related prosthetic joint infections based on a better understanding of biofilm biology – an innovative translational approach KU Leuven
Foodborne illnesses remain a significant global public health problem with large economic consequences, despite the strict regulations regarding food safety. Salmonella represents the most common cause of bacterial foodborne outbreaks. We hypothesize that the publicly available exopolymeric substances (EPS) of the biofilm matrix made by this pathogen play an important role in gut colonization and invasion. EPS are therefore considered as ...
