cytotoxic T cells as transport vehicles for tumor-targeted delivery of nanomedicines Ghent University
Nanobody-based depletion or reprogramming of protumoral tumor-associated macrophages for the enhancement of therapy response Ghent University
Clinical and experimental studies delineate protumorigenic roles for immune cell subsets in particular tumorassociated macrophages or TAM. Hence, it seems plausible to target these cells and eliminate or reprogram their function, but at present the role of distinct TAM subsets in the tumor microenvironment is insufficiently understood and tools to specifically target TAM subsets in vivo are largely non-existing. Very recent evidence, from our ...
Implementation of a care pathway for raising adequate, self-management of patients with cancer receiving oral anticancer drugs prescribed Ghent University
Based on the results of two research projects like Leuven and Ghent University commit, in cooperation with '' Come on cancer '' to carry out a project that aims a care pathway for patients with cancer receiving oral anticancer drugs prescribed to implement in five hospitals and a roadmap (including e-learning package) for the implementation of such a pathway, which widely used in hospitals throughout Flanders, compiling. The pathway aims to ...
Beurs Joke Tommelein: Radiotherapy-induced damage to cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes colorectal cancer progression through IGF-1/AKT signaling Ghent University
Each year, cancer of the rectum (or rectum) fixed at about 1500 Flemings. A large number of these patients is treated with chemoradiotherapy (irradiation in combination with chemotherapy) before the tumor is surgically removed. This treatment increases the life expectancy through improved local control. Patients with a fibrotic reaction, however, have a poorer chance of survival than patients with a fibro-inflammatory response. Fibrosis is ...

An open university in a diverse community Ghent University
A proposal to demolish the walls through science communication between higher education institutions linked to the Ghent University Association on the one hand and the ethnic minorities in Ghent on the other hand, with the specific target community of people of Turkish origin in Ghent and Flanders (as well as all geïnteresserde students Ghent University, University College Ghent, Arteveldehogeschool and HOWEST).
The perception of self, disease, social relationships and care of patients with testicular cancer Ghent University
With our study we want to investigate to what extent the patients in question dealing with the profound changes in the experiences of their bodies and their (sexual) identity and how their life and (partner) relationship (s) are affected.
Fair Anneleen Decock: Pioneering the neuroblastoma DNA methylome: identify biological differences between subgroups and optimization biomerkerdetectie plasma. Ghent University
Neuroblastoma is a rare childhood tumor that arises from immature sympathetic neurons. In diagnosis, patients are assigned to a specific risk, a classification based on a combination of specific clinical and biological parameters am so for each patient to establish the most appropriate treatment protocol. Follow-up studies have shown that the current classification can lead to over- or under-treatment, so that am optimize the system further ...
