A network of networks to progress urban climate science Ghent University
Urban landscapes interact via complex physical processes with the atmosphere resulting in a so-called urban climate1. A well-known illustration is the urban heat island effect which describes the increased temperatures in urban landscapes with respect to the rural surroundings. This phenomenon leads to additional heat stress in cities2 and impacts power consumption3, air pollution4, ecology5, etc. Cities are densely populated economic hubs ...

Unraveling molecular determinants of somatosensation via transcriptome analysis of single sensory neurons. KU Leuven
The somatosensory system consists of a network of sensory neurons that detect and transmit information about the body and its immediate environment, thereby determining what we “feel”. Thanks to the somatosensory system, we are able to enjoy a warm summer breeze, a refreshing dive in the ocean or the light touch of a beloved one. In addition, the somatosensory system conveys signals from within the body, such as the position of our joints, ...
