Mapping the stem cell landscape of mouse and human pituitary across key time points of life in both healthy and disrupted conditions KU Leuven
The pituitary positions at the regulatory summit of our endocrine system, accomplishing vital regulation of body development and physiology. The gland contains a population of stem cells whose molecular and functional passport remains blurred. In particular, their cellular complexity and evolution across key time points of life, as well as role(s) are unresolved. Moreover, the stem cells’ behavior in disrupted pituitary is largely uncharted. ...
Emerging Adulthood: The Time of Your Life Ghent University
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. It's
miserable and magical (Taylor Swift, “22”).
Emerging adulthood is a critical juncture in human life with unique
challenges that are mastered successfully by most people but not by
all. First, this project will describe how individual differences in
personality and parenting are related to heterogeneity in
(mal)adjustment during emerging ...

Options to extend the product life time by implementing reparability criteria for energy related products KU Leuven
The aim of this study is to ivestigate extending product life time by exploring reparability criteria for products. the implementation of these criteria into a product standard could be used to:
- set minimum requirements that can help making products last longer
- make relevant information available; allowing consumers to choose to purchase products that can be more easily repaired and upgraded and whose parts and ...
Predictors and consequences of perinatal mental (un)health. Influence of professional activity, social support, leisure time on perinatal mental health and health and consequences for development in the 1st year of life KU Leuven
This research proposal focuses on predictors of experienced mental problems and resilience of professionally active and non-professional (expectant) mothers and their partners during the perinatal period, and on the consequences for the parents themselves and for the offspring in the first year of life, with the aim of to draw up prevention strategies and to be able to adequately estimate their efficiency and effectiveness .
Vulnerability for depression during the life span: the influence of time perspective on attentional bias for negative versus positive interpersonal information Ghent University
This project investigates the relationship between time perspective, attentional bias for affective stimuli and mood in a life span perspective. Because attentional bias is a vulnerability factor for depression, and because it is a bias that occurs at later stages of information processing, it is clinically relevant to investigate which top-down processes influence this bias, to underpin possible therapeutic interventions.
