Cellular profiling reveals molecular determinants and vulnerabilities of neuroblastoma Universiteit Antwerpen
Endoparasitic plants and fungi show evolutionary convergence across phylogenetic divisions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Endoparasitic plants are the most reduced flowering plants, spending most of their lives as a network of filaments within the tissues of their hosts. Despite their extraordinary life form, we know little about their biology. Research into a few species has revealed unexpected insights, such as the total loss of plastome, the reduction of the vegetative phase to a proembryonic stage, and elevated information exchange between host and parasite. ...
Nanoscale Evidence Unravels Microalgae Flocculation Mechanism Induced by Chitosan KU Leuven
Cross-modal plasticity after partial vision loss in adulthood: the impact of social isolation, serotonin and the synaptic vesicle cycle KU Leuven
Targets and mechanisms of chemically induced aneuploidy. Part 1 of the report of the 2017 IWGT workgroup on assessing the risk of aneugens for carcinogenesis and hereditary diseases Vrije Universiteit Brussel
An aneuploidy workgroup was established as part of the 7th International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing. The workgroup conducted a review of the scientific literature on the biological mechanisms of aneuploidy in mammalian cells and methods used to detect chemical aneugens. In addition, the current regulatory framework was discussed, with the objective to arrive at consensus statements on the ramifications of exposure to chemical aneugens ...
Differential Effects of Posttranslational Modifications of CXCL8/Interleukin-8 on CXCR1 and CXCR2 Internalization and Signaling Properties Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
CXCL8 or interleukin (IL)-8 directs neutrophil migration and activation through interaction with CXCR1 and CXCR2 that belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Naturally occurring posttranslational modifications of the NH 2 -terminal region of CXCL8 affect its biological activities, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are only partially understood. Here, we studied the implications of site-specific ...
