The incorporation of plant-based Pickering particles in O/W emulsions: From tailored in vitro lipid digestion behavior to in vivo implications KU Leuven
How does the microbiota modulate neonatal gut maturation? Determination by in vitro and in vivo porcine models. KU Leuven
From birth, the gastrointestinal system gets colonised by microorganisms such as bacteria which collectively constitute the gut microbiota. Bioactive compounds such as oligosaccharides from colostrum and milk play an important role in driving this early colonisation process through their interactions with the host. It remains to be seen however how the sensitivity of intestinal cells and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) to ...
Screening for conjugated fatty acids with milk fat depressing properties through a combination of production, detailed identification and in vitro and in vivo reponse essays Ghent University
Low-fat milk syndrome is a challenging biological problem involving the interrelationship between digestive processes and tissue metabolism in several candidate inhibitors will be produced through a combination of isomerisation, hydrogenation or conjugation and subsequently evaluated in vitro using 3T3-L1 cells. Promising inhibitors will be tested in vivo using the dairy cow as a model.
Soft tissue biomechanics: In vitro, in vivo and silico trials for trauma prevention and repair KU Leuven
The soft tissues in our body are continuously engaged in mechanical interaction, with themselves but also with external devices. These devices may serve to protect (e.g. a helmet), repair (e.g. surgical instruments) or replace (e.g. prostheses) our native tissues. Profound knowledge about the mechanical behavior of these tissues and their interactions is essential to optimize the design of these external devices and treatments, and to ...
