Beta Cell Neogenesis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Diabetes mellitus is a pandemic metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The pathogenic process is the result of insulin insufficiency. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced in the beta cells of the pancreatic islets. Current diabetes treatments strive for glycemic control but fail to solve the underlying beta cell defect. This approach has increased the life expectancy and quality of most patients with diabetes but has ...
Cell Biology and Histology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Department of Cell Biology (CYTO-VUB) is specialized in molecular and cellular liver research, with a main focus on the (patho)biology of hepatic stellate cells and liver progenitor cells. Prof. A. Geerts contributed to the first paper on isolation, purification and culturing of hepatic stellate cells (1) and is the author of a side scatter activated cell sorting method to purify freshly isolated hepatic stellate cell up to 95 - 100% (2). ...

Exercise Physiology Research Group KU Leuven
Research Exercise Physiology is one of the five units of the departement of Movement Sciences. The specific research lines of each research group all relate to the two central themes: Health & Well-being and Sports & Performance. As such, the two overarching research themes constitute the explicit link between the research groups.
Human Physiology and Sports Physiotherapy Research Group Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group MFYS explores the interaction of exercise on neurochemistry and neurophysiology. The research is concentrated at several levels: Fundamental – Physiological research; Applied – Clinical research and Benchmarking – Policy making research.
Most of the research projects progress through these 3 levels, starting from fundamental studies (e.g. animal studies) through applied, clinical trials, which could lead to ...
Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Vascular Metabolism (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The research group of the Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Neurovascular Link focuses on a central theme, i.e. unraveling the molecular basis of angiogenesis (i.e. the formation of blood vessels) and translating these genetic insights in therapeutic concepts – and, if possible, novel treatments. The group has also broadened its scope of interest to the exciting research avenue of the neurovascular link, illustrating that vessels and nerves have ...
