Combining unfolding reversibility studies and molecular dynamics simulations to select aggregation-resistant antibodies Universiteit Gent
Structural and Rheological Characterization of Injectable Hydrogels for Minimally Invasive Adipose Tissue Engineering KU Leuven
Every day, women around the world are diagnosed with breast cancer. In order to completely remove the cancerous tissue, women often have to undergo total breast amputation. This results in significant physical and psychological damage. Breast reconstruction is a valid option to recover from these negative consequences. However, the current state of the art breast reconstruction methods, summarized as implant-based, autologous tissue transfer and ...
The memory of airway epithelium damage in smokers and COPD patients KU Leuven
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a devastating and irreversible lung disease, causes structural and functional defects in the bronchial epithelium, the (ir)reversibility of which remains unexplored in vitro. This study aimed to investigate the persistence of COPD-related epithelial defects in long-term airway epithelial cultures derived from non-smokers, smokers, and COPD patients. Barrier function, polarity, cell commitment, ...
Two-Photon-Induced [2+2] Cycloaddition of Bis-thymines: A Biocompatible and Reversible Approach KU Leuven
Despite having great value across a wide variety of scientific fields, two-photon polymerizations currently suffer from two significant problems: the need for photoinitiators, which generate toxic side products, and the irreversibility of the process. Hence, the design of a versatile approach that circumvents these issues represents a major scientific challenge. Herein, we report a two-photon absorption strategy where reversible [2 + 2] ...
Active processes in one dimension KU Leuven
We consider the thermal and athermal overdamped motion of particles in one-dimensional geometries where discrete internal degrees of freedom (spin) are coupled with the translational motion. Adding a driving velocity that depends on the time-dependent spin constitutes the simplest model of active particles (run-and-tumble processes) where the violation of the equipartition principle and of the Sutherland-Einstein relation can be studied in ...
Design method for modular shells in TRC Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Shell structures have always been of major interest to architects and engineers. Their large form freedom enables fluent and aesthetical designs with impressive spans over single, uninterrupted spaces. As the force flow in the structure is optimised, small thicknesses can be obtained, making shells interesting from both a structural and material-efficient point of view. Unfortunately, these structures suffer from labour intensive fabrication ...
Outcomes of a Student Research Project on Circular Building Systems – Focus on the Educational Aspect Universiteit Hasselt
The growing need to shift from a linear to a circular economy has inspired producers of building materials and systems to innovate their products to match the requirements of a future circular economy. Others have been developing modular systems in the past to simplify the building process and are now reconsidering these products for their potential in a circular economy. However, at this early stage on the road towards a circular economy, ...
Shattering the Glass Maze KU Leuven
Template protection plays a crucial role in protecting the privacy of biometric data, by providing irreversibility and unlinkability. The Glass Maze, as presented by Trugenberger at BIOSIG 2011, is a fingerprint key binding mechanism that is claimed to provide template protection. With the correct fingerprint, the key that is entangled with the fingerprint data can be retrieved. The template protection of the Glass Maze is based on the ...
In-field performance and flux pinning mechanism of pulsed laser deposition grown BaSnO3/GdBa2Cu3O7-δ nanocomposite coated conductors by SuperOx Universiteit Gent
We investigate the field, angle and temperature dependence of the full-width critical current, I-c, of pulsed laser deposition-grown GdBa2Cu3O7 coated conductors with and without additional 6 mol% BaSnO3 (BSO) nanoparticles fabricated by SuperOx. The transport characteristics measured from 7 to 77 K and in applied magnetic fields of up to 6 T are complemented by scanning transmission electron microscopy. This combined approach allows for further ...
