Streptomyces bacteria are a valuable source of natural products, many of which are used in the clinic or in biotechnology.

Nucleoid associated proteins maintain the architecture of the bacterial chromosome and regulate gene expression, hinting that their role as transcription factors may involve local three-dimensional chromosome re-modelling.

Dit proefschrift behandelt de vraag of er een level playing field is tussen Europese beleggers die beleggen in EU-beleggingsinstellingen en Europese beleggers die beleggen in Amerikaanse beleggingsinstellingen en, als dit niet het geval is, of de Europese wetgever aanvullende regelgeving zou moeten…

To improve cancer treatments, personalized medicine approaches have aimed to identify exactly which mutations are driving tumor development in a given patient and specifically target these mutations using precision therapies.

Autophagy is a fundamental degradative process, maintaining cellular homeostasis and functions in host defense against intracellular pathogens, including mycobacteria and Salmonella.

The bacterial cell wall is a nearly universal structure that offers protection and gives the cell its shape. However, environmental stressors, such as cell wall-targeting antibiotics and hyperosmotic conditions, can induce bacteria to shift to a wall-deficient state. It is unknown whether the lack of…

This thesis describes the functional analysis of the Arabidopsis AHL15 gene.

The plant hormone auxin regulates plant growth and development through polar cell-to-cell transport-generated maxima and minima. PIN FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers determine the direction of this auxin flow through their asymmetric placement on the plasma membrane (PM).

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone, which is involved in the defense responses to pathogens and to abiotic stress, and in the regulation of plant growth and development.

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

In deze bundel wordt de regulering behandeld van politieke partijen in de post-communistische EU-landen, met name Bulgarije, Croatië, Tsjechië, Estland, Hongarije, Letland, Litouwen, Polen, Slowakije, Slovenië en Roemenië.

Plants, are sessile organisms, have developed strategies to adapt to changes in their environment, in part by altering their growth and development.

Matthias Haentjens, Jouke Tegelaar en Dorine Verheij schreven het hoofdstuk Financial Market Regulation and Supervision, dat recentelijk is gepubliceerd in het belangwekkende handboek The Law of the European Union (voorheen Kapteyn & VerLoren van Themaat).

Plant architecture has distinct forms in different plant species, but also within a species the finalarchitecture of a plant is determined by its gradual development and changes therein induced by environmental conditions during the plant’s life cycle.

The research described in this thesis focused on identifying novel drug targets and synergistic combinations for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a virulent subtype of breast cancer with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options.

The focus of the described research in this thesis is on the oxidative stress response (Nrf2 pathway). The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to obtain more information concerning microRNAs which are involved in the Nrf2 pathway, to determine and evaluate the application of microRNAs for…

Drug induced organ toxicity is the main problem of the drug development and drug usage in the clinic. The liver and kidneys are the most sensitive organs towards drug induced toxicity.

The experiments described in this thesis employ local lentiviral knockdowns in brain areas of female zebra finches followed by behavioural assays consisting of preference and Go/Nogo tasks.

A modern ship design process is subject to a wide variety of constraints such as safety constraints, regulations, and physical constraints.

Historische migratiestudies hebben zich lange tijd voornamelijk gericht op de Europese en Atlantische wereld. In dit programmatische langetermijnproject willen we het perspectief verbreden naar de volledige migratie-ervaring van de niet-westerse wereld.

Regeneration is the ability of an organism to restore damaged or lost tissue with a functional replacement, and without scarring. Many lizards can regenerate their tails.

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.
