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.

De onderzoeksgroep ‘Diplomacy and Global Affairs’ houdt zich bezig met onderwerpen zoals de veranderende globale machtsverhoudingen, (internationale) diplomatiek, het beheersen en oplossen van conflicten, de inspanningen van spelers zoals internationale, multilaterale, regionale en non-gouvernementele…

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

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…

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).

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