Cross-talk between Leishmania and its mammalian host-cell: insights from Chemical genetics and antimony-resistant field Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania are the causative agents of a wide variety of diseases that range from self-healing cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesions to a visceral form of the disease in which parasites disseminate to internal organs. This diversity is due to heterogeneity both among Leishmania species and the host immune response. Leishmaniasis is one of the most significant neglected tropical diseases, with an ...

Gastheer gericht medicijn bij invasieve schimmelinfectie KU Leuven
Despite novel treatment options and development of diagnostic tools invasive fungal infections (IFI) are still associated with an unacceptably high mortality and morbidity. Experts believe that a host directed approach is needed to overcome this problem. HDM-FUN proposes a transdisciplinary approach to identify host-pathogen factors (HPFs) needed for host directed medical interventions in IFI and will be the first of its kind.

Naar de wortels van geïnduceerde systemische resistentie in de tripartiete interactie van Arabidopsis-Trichoderma-Fusarium KU Leuven
Biological control organisms (BCOs) can form an important component of more sustainable agriculture. Trichoderma spp. are soil fungi with great potential in this respect. They can trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR) in the plant, leading to a more rapid and robust systemic activation of defense when the plant is subsequently challenged by a pathogen. However, genome-wide investigations of the tripartite plant-Trichoderma-pathogen ...
Ontrafeling van foetale genetiC en epigenetische veranderingen Na in utero blootstelling aan chemotheRapy (SCAR). KU Leuven
Cancer complicates 1 in 1000 pregnancies representing an important health challenge that affects both mother and child. In a series of breakthrough clinical studies, the hosting lab has shown that chemotherapy given during pregnancy is relatively safe for the infants in the short term. However, children born after in utero exposure to chemotherapy are often small for their gestation age, present with lower IQ scores and have higher risk to ...
