Bij kanker groeien lichaamscellen ongecontroleerd. Het gedetailleerd in kaart brengen van hoe dit precies gebeurt maakt het mogelijk om efficiënte therapieën te ontwikkelen. Onderzoekers van het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) en de Universiteit Leiden werken samen aan het vermeerderen van…

Biological polymers, including proteins and the genome, undergo folding processes crucial for their proper functioning. Even slight changes in the folding structure of these biopolymers can have significant implications, leading to the development of various pathological conditions, such as neurodegenerative…

Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) are involved in the clearance of viruses and killing of tumor cells.

We use DNA strands to stabilize few-atom silver clusters, which show unique optical and chemical properties. This thesis involves the study of these constructs for various applications.

Het eigen afweersysteem van een kankerpatiënt versterken zodat het lichaam zelf beter kankercellen kan vernietigen. Het is de kern van immuuntherapie, de hoopgevendste vooruitgang binnen de behandeling van kanker van de afgelopen jaren. Om deze ontwikkeling verder aan te jagen slaan het Antoni van Leeuwenhoek/Nederlands…

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

The lipid membrane is a basic structural component of all living cells. Embedded in this nanometer-thin barrier, membrane proteins shape the membrane and at the same time respond to the shape of the membrane.

Toen Christian Blank zijn allereerste ontdekking deed was de immuuntherapie, het onderzoeksgebied van deze internist, het sufferdje van het kankeronderzoek. Nu, ruim twintig jaar later, is Blank benoemd tot bijzonder hoogleraar Interne Geneeskunde voor zijn klinisch onderzoek naar immunotherapie. Oratie…

The CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, is widely involved in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, no drugs for this receptor have made it to the pharmaceutical market yet.

This thesis describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of TLR2/6, TLR4, TLR7/8 and TLR9 ligands, of which the activity can be conditionally controlled.

Op deze pagina vindt u de opnames van de online This Week's Discoveries vanaf 12 mei 2020 en een lijst sprekers vanaf oktober 2015.

The research presented in this thesis explores the chemotherapeutic potential of metal-based compounds as chemotherapy agents, with an initial focus on the synthesis and DNA interaction studies of platinum and palladium compounds utilizing the [Pt(bapbpy)]2+ scaffold. The study identifies intercalation…

The disease acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by fast progression and low survival rates.

This thesis focuses on data found in the field of computational drug discovery. New insight can be obtained by applying machine learning in various ways and in a variety of domains. Two studies delved into the application of proteochemometrics (PCM), a machine learning technique that can be used to…

Acute cardiovascular clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke represent the major cause of death in Western societies. These pathologies are primarily resulting from atherosclerosis, a progressive condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids, immune cells, and fibrous…

The adenosine receptors are proteins that reside in the extracellular membranes of cells. Activation of adenosine receptors plays a role in many physiological and pathological processes, such as immune responses and cancers.

The first steps are made in personalised cancer vaccination strategies, which aim to induce a more specific immune response with fewer side effects. The activation of cytotoxic T cells is crucial for an effective immune response.

Studium Generale organiseert academische activiteiten, zoals lezingen, symposia, theatervoorstellingen, filmvertoningen en debatten voor een breed publiek. Het programma van Studium Generale wil vragen stellen en verdieping bieden. Iedereen is welkom, zowel studenten, medewerkers als mensen van buiten…

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) produces valuable monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) such as vincristine and vinblastine, crucial for cancer treatment.

Internist- klinisch farmacoloog Teun van Gelder is per 1 december 2019 benoemd tot Leidse hoogleraar Drug Discovery & Development. Hij zal zich bezighouden met het ontwikkelen van geneesmiddelen binnen de academische wereld, ook wel Academic Pharma genoemd.

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?
