iPSC Technology and Bone Regeneration KU Leuven
Bone is a calcified tissue with multiple functions. It allows movement by providing attachment points for skeletal muscle, supports haematopoiesis, stores minerals and protects soft tissues and organs. Additionally, bone has the unique capacity to regenerate upon damage without scar formation or loss of function.
Bone fracture repair recapitulates embryonic endochondral bone formation. This process is characterized by the formation of a ...

Modeling Renal Fibrosis in Zebrafish Using Aristolochic Acid I KU Leuven
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health problem that is characterized by a slow and progressive loss of kidney function. The endpoint of virtually all progressive renal diseases is fibrosis, characterized histologically by an excessive accumulation and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) disrupting the normal histo-architecture of the organ.
The number of renal fibrosis patients doubled from 1990 to 2016 making it ...
Modelling 3D structure of forest canopies using terrestrial LiDAR data to evaluate remotely sensed hyperspectral response KU Leuven
The forest canopy is a region of vast ecological relevance constituting the bulk for photosynthetically active foliage and biomass. Canopy-radiation interactions taking place in forest canopies are fundamental in understanding forest growth, regeneration and dynamics. Light detection and ranging scanning systems, have greatly contributed to the development of comprehensive 3D models across a wide range of disciplines, and is becoming key in ...
