Exploiting the “dark matter” of the genome to defeat melanoma KU Leuven
The 5-year survival rates of patients with metastatic melanoma are still about 30%. The major reason for the low survival rate of melanoma patients is intrinsic and acquired resistance to the existing therapies. It is therefore essential to develop new therapeutic strategies that will help eradicating resistant cells. By single-cell RNA sequencing of BRAF mutant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) melanoma models analysis we obtained the lncRNA ...

Novel Assessment Techniques for in vivo Bladder Physiology KU Leuven
Neurological and functional bladder disorders cause significant morbidity and detriment to the quality of life. These disorders cause lower urinary tract symptoms which affect up to 45.7% of the world population. Neurological bladder disorders due to spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis in some cases cause life-threatening urological complications. Functional bladder disorders in the absence of nervous system pathology present with ...
Multivariate Decomposition Finite Element Method for Elliptic PDEs with Random Diffusion Coefficients KU Leuven
We develop a multivariate decomposition finite element method (MDFEM) for solving elliptic PDEs with random diffusion coefficients where the diffusion coefficient is parameterized by a countably infinite number of random variables and an appropriate system of functions. We consider two models of parametric diffusion coefficients: uniform and lognormal.
We show that the MDFEM reduces the computational complexity of estimating the expected ...
Tackling major pitfalls in lung transplantation KU Leuven
Telescope deployment system for smallSats KU Leuven
There is a growing trend in the space industry to use small-scale (< 50kg) spacecraft. These satellites are much cheaper to build and launch than traditional spacecraft (> 500kg) but thanks to the miniaturisation of electronic and mechanical components they can be used for high-quality missions. The downside of these spacecraft is that their reduced launch volume can not directly accommodate a large optical system and the reduced light ...
