A taxonomic study of Scleria subgenus Hypoporum: synonymy, typification and a new identification key Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Gent
For Scleria subgen. Hypoporum, 214 species and infraspecific names were published since the first publication of the name Scleria. These names represent 76 accepted taxa, representing 72 species of Scleria subgen. Hypoporum. Herbarium material of all recognised species was studied, including the type material if available. Synonymy and typification in Scleria subgen. Hypoporum was thoroughly investigated. Fifty-six lectotypes and two neotypes ...
Identification of miR-145 as a Key Regulator of the Pigmentary Process KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The current treatments for hyperpigmentation are often associated with a lack of efficacy and adverse side effects. We hypothesized that microRNA (miRNA)-based treatments may offer an attractive alternative by specifically targeting key genes in melanogenesis. The aim of this study was to identify miRNAs interfering with the pigmentary process and to assess their functional role. miRNA profiling was performed on mouse melanocytes after three ...
Identification of key measures to promote and enhance cycling for visiting National Parks: A case study of Peak District National Park, England KU Leuven Universiteit Hasselt
Belgian rare diseases plan in clinical pathology : identification of key biochemical diagnostic tests and establishment of reference laboratories and financing conditions Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
BackgroundOne objective of the Belgian Rare Diseases plan is to improve patients' management using phenotypic tests and, more specifically, the access to those tests by identifying the biochemical analyses used for rare diseases, developing new financing conditions and establishing reference laboratories.MethodsA feasibility study was performed from May 2015 until August 2016 in order to select the financeable biochemical analyses, and, among ...
Checklist and practical identification key for the cichlid fishes (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) of the La Plata drainage in Bolivia, including three new geographical records Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
In comparison with the Bolivian Amazon, the ichthyofauna of the La Plata drainage of Bolivia received relatively little attention historically. Until now, 14 species of cichlid fish have been registered from this area. After an exhaustive review of museum collections (Museo de Historia Natural Noel Kempff Mercado and Colección Boliviana de Fauna), we can report three additional species: Astronotus crassipinnis, Mesonauta festivus and Satanoperca ...
Systematic Identification of Hypothetical Bacteriophage Proteins Targeting Key Protein Complexes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
Addressing the functionality of predicted genes remains an enormous challenge in the postgenomic era. A prime example of genes lacking functional assignments are the poorly conserved, early expressed genes of lytic bacteriophages, whose products are involved in the subversion of the host metabolism. In this study, we focused on the composition of important macromolecular complexes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa involved in transcription, DNA ...
Identification of Potential Key Genes Involved in the Carotid Atherosclerosis KU Leuven
PURPOSE: Carotid atherosclerosis is a kind of systemic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. However, the efficiency of treatment is insufficient. Therefore, it is urgent to find therapeutic targets and deepen the understanding of carotid atherosclerosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between atheroma plaque and macroscopically intact tissue (control samples). Furthermore, we performed ...
Identification of oxidative stress and toll-like receptor 4 signaling as a key pathway of acute lung injury Universiteit Gent
Multiple lung pathogens such as chemical agents, H5N1 avian flu, or SARS cause high lethality due to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Here we report that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mutant mice display natural resistance to acid-induced acute lung injury (ALI). We show that TLR4-TRIF-TRAF6 signaling is a key disease pathway that controls the severity of ALI. The oxidized phospholipid (OxPL) OxPAPC was identified to induce lung injury and ...
Automatic identification of key classes in a software system using webmining techniques Universiteit Antwerpen
Software engineers new to a project are often stuck sorting through hundreds of classes in order to find those few classes that offer a significant insight into the inner workings of the software project. To help stimulate this process, we propose a technique that can identify the most important classes in a system or the key classes of that system. Software engineers can use these classes to focus their understanding efforts when starting to ...
