Developing a novel combination of immunotherapy with induction of oxidative stress to treat solid tumors. University of Antwerp
Exploring oxidative stress responsive post-transcriptional gene regulators in plants Ghent University
Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low and moderate
concentration can function as second messenger that integrate in the
intra- and intercellular signaling cascades to enable plant acclimation
to abiotic and biotic stresses. Exploiting the key regulators and
targets underlying oxidative stress signaling networks is therefore in
a high priority. It still remains fragmented for comprehensively ...
Oxidative stress as a selective anticancer agent: investigation of a targeted combination strategy for mutant p53 non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. University of Antwerp
Characterization of brain-brain and brain-body interactions in the context of stress regulation and meditation: New perspectives for the development of biofeedback protocols assisting meditative practice KU Leuven
Gossip as social glue: an investigation into the potential mediating role of oxytocin. University of Antwerp
Attentiional influences on stress-reactivity Ghent University
In this research programme, three research Lines are proposed in relation to a visitng scholarship of Prof. Ellenbogen at the psychopathology and Affective Neuroscience lab at Ghent University. This research will involve examining the role of attentional processes in stress-reactivity in relation to depression. Central to the research are psychophysiological markers of stress-reativity and the causal role of attention on the stress ...
Loneliness in adolescence: Epigenetic Insights KU Leuven
The project examines why social anxiety tends to persist over time in some adolescents and can lead to serious complications. A complex interplay between the social environment and adolescents’ personal characteristics is typically invoked to account for this persistence and the accompanying complications. Parenting and relationships with peers are thought to be important factors in the social environment and regarding adolescents’ personal ...
The regulation of photosynthesis by ethylene in tomato KU Leuven
Ethylene is a volatile plant hormone that plays a regulatory role in many aspects of vegetative plant growth and development, including the regulation of photosynthesis. It is also regarded as an 'aging' hormone, as it is required for processes such as climacteric fruit ripening, leaf and flower senescence, and abscission. In addition, ethylene is also involved in regulating plant responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses.
It ...
