Lung-on-a-chip as a dynamic tool to capture interplay between airway and vascular cells in their microenvironment: a focus on the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease KU Leuven
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is estimated to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030, is actually the only major disease whose prevalence and mortality are increasing worldwide in all continents. Despite intensive research, there are still unmet medical needs for this disease. Abnormal responses of the airway epithelium to the environmental triggers are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of ...

The role of GPCRs in metabolism and physiology of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. KU Leuven
Insects comprise 80% of the world’s animal species representing the largest and most diverse life form on the planet. Over evolutionary time, insects occupied and adapted to widely divergent habitats, resulting in a rich variation of body plans with different shapes, sizes, and specialized feeding mechanisms. They thus represent a unique opportunity to gain insight in the mechanisms that control feeding and metabolism and how they change ...

Non-invasive optical measurement and physical modelling of blood pulse wave velocity for early detection of cardiovascular diseases. University of Antwerp
Non-invasive optical measurement and physical modeling of blood pulse velocity for early detection of cardiovascular disease. Ghent University
The goals of the current project are: Development of a new contact less method, based on light interferometry which makes use of the Doppler shift of reflected light, which will allow us to measure PWV between two well defined locations close to one another. Designing and building a very compact two-channel laser-Doppler heterodyne interferometer which allows to measure blood PWV in realistic circumstances. Making a physics-based model of ...
