Unravelling early cell fate decisions during human preimplantation development Ghent University
The dynamics of extracellular signals coordinate cell lineage decisions during early embryo development. The correct specification of the Inner Cell Mass in Epiblast (Epi), giving rise to the fetus, and Primitive Endoderm (PrE) cells, contributing to the extra-embryonic tissues, ins essential to ensure proper development. Even though the Epi/PrE lineage segregation during early human development is of great importance, its regulation remains ...

Enhanced acceptance of unconventional feed resources by ruminants through nutritional intervention early in life Ghent University
The hypothesis to test here is that the maternal diet (either during pregnancy and/or during the suckling period) and/or dietary interventions during the pre-weaning period influence the microbial population that first establishes in the rumen which further influences the microbial ecosystem post-weaning as well as the efficiency of ruminal fermentation and detoxification processes.
Attempts for interventions in early life with ...
Does biological sex determine the outcome of early life adverse events? What a leaky gut has to say? University of Antwerp
Unravelling early cell fate decisions during human preimplantation development KU Leuven
The lineage segregation events during early embryonic development are coordinated by the dynamics of extracellular signals. They assure the correct specification of the inner cell mass (ICM), giving rise to the embryo proper, and the primitive endoderm (PrE), contributing to extra-embryonic tissues, in the epiblast (Epi). Despite the great importance of the Epi/PrE lineage segregation during early embryonic development, the lack of suitable ...

Investigating the long-term neurodevelopmental impact of early life exposure to cancer therapy. KU Leuven
Based on our current experience in MR imaging of children who are 1) born after cancercomplicated pregnancies or 2) diagnosed with pediatric cancer, our awareness has increased
throughout the last years for altered neurodevelopmental patterns due to early life exposure to intravenous chemotherapy. Although the literature in these populations is scarce, we recently encountered altered microstructure and cortical features after prenatal ...
