From theory to practice. The development and evaluation of a resilience-enhancing intervention for pregnant women. KU Leuven
The perinatal period is considered a sensitive life-changing experience marked by significant and profound changes in biological, psychological, familial and social domains. Keeping a balance between these different domains may be challenging for (expectant) parents, putting them at greater risk of developing perinatal mental health problems. Maintaining resilience during pregnancy may be crucial for psychosocial adaptation to this ...

Function, organization, dynamics and evolution of hyperbranched receptor-binding protein systems in Klebsiella jumbo phages and their interactions with bacteria Ghent University
The most intense co-evolution on our globe takes place between bacteria and their viruses, called bacteriophages. Bacteriophages kill their bacterial host with a very high specificity. Every phage infection is initiated by the recognition of a specific structure on the bacterial surface by a receptor-binding protein (RBP). Some phages having a single RBP, infect only one specific bacterial serotype, while others can attack different bacterial ...
The evolution of pesticide (cross-)tolerance in bacteria and its role in microbiome rescue of their host in a polluted and warming world KU Leuven
Global change is impacting life on Earth at an unprecedented scale. One of the biggest challenges for freshwater ecosystems is the exposure to warming and to pollutants such as pesticides, whereby organisms often have to cope with multiple pesticides in sequence and the toxicity of pesticides often increases under warming. The build-up of tolerance to various pesticides and how this may affect the combined effects of pesticides and warming is ...
In search for buried magnetic fields inside intermediate-mass stars along their evolution. KU Leuven
From the flat rotation profile inside main-sequence stars to the unexpected low rotation rate of the core of evolved red-giant stars, the extraction of stellar angular momentum is poorly understood inside intermediate-mass stars throughout their evolution. In addition, the recent discovery of red giants more massive than 1.3 solar masses that present a surprisingly low amplitude oscillation modes could be the signature of a strong magnetic ...
