‘Lab on a chip’ gaat gezondheidszorg ingrijpend veranderen
Snelle en goedkope chips die extreem kleine hoeveelheden vloeistof (microfluïden) analyseren vormen de kern van gepersonaliseerde gezondheidszorg. Maar het ‘laboratorium op een chip’ is nog niet effectief genoeg. Dr. Paul Vulto en zijn onderzoeksteam ontwikkelden een techniek die het gebruik van microfluïdische…

Verblijfstijd geneesmiddel op doelmolecuul even belangrijk als ‘klik’
Niet alleen de ‘klik’ van een geneesmiddel met het doelmolecuul in het lichaam bepaalt de werking ervan, maar ook de tijd die het geneesmiddel op het molecuul doorbrengt. Leidse onderzoekers gaan met 15 miljoen euro een Europees consortium leiden om vanuit dit nieuwe concept betere medicijnen te mak…

Bevat cel meer oplosmiddelen dan alleen water?
De cel is een zakje met water, en daarin opgelost spelen zich de levensprocessen af. Dat weet iedere bioloog, maar het klopt niet, vermoedt prof.dr. Rob Verpoorte: naast water lijken voorheen onbekende natuurlijke oplosmiddelen ook een rol te spelen. Dat zou de droogte- en koudebestendigheid van planten…

Cancer chess: molecular insights into PARP inhibitor resistance
The clinical potential of applying synthetic lethality to cancer treatment is famously demonstrated by the BRCA1/PARP1 paradigm: a tumor specific defect in BRCA1 – a component of the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway homologous recombination (HR) – results in a remarkable sensitivity to PARP1…
