SpatialConnect: linking tissue biology to the new era of single-cell spatial transcriptomics Ghent University
The novel single-cell technologies allow to determine the genetic profile of each individual cell per organ. This way, researchers have recently identified novel cell types and activation states that correlate with disease progression or specific developmental stages. However, these techniques are carried out on digested tissue samples and don’t give any information on the precise location of cells. Unfortunately, to fully understand how ...
Unlocking powerful non-model organisms in microbial synthetic biology - POSSIBL Ghent University
Synthetic biology is a new discipline that allows designing and creating novel, completely man-made biological systems such as metabolic pathways. The innovative technology is a game-changer for the sustainable production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, enzymes, aroma compounds and bioplastics. The
synthetic systems are often implemented in E. coli or yeast cells because the biotechnological toolbox for these organisms is readily ...
A systems biology approach for the ethylene synthesis during climactericripening of tomato fruit. KU Leuven
international trade. Color, taste, aroma, firmness are all decisive quality attributes that determine the purchasing behavior of cusumers and wholesalers. Overall fruit quality is highly dependent on the climacteric ripening process, which is ...
