This thesis describes biochemical investigations of glucocerebrosidase (GBA), the lysosomal β- glucosidase that is deficient in Gaucher disease (GD).

Hoe heeft migratie de Ierse en Italiaanse samenleving sinds 1945 beïnvloed?

The study of orchid flowers, fruits, and inflorescences is crucial due to the remarkable diversity of orchid species and their unique adaptations to pollinators and seed dispersers. However, our understanding of the evolution and development of these organs within the orchid family remains limited.

Growth hormone profiles are pulsatile and highly variable between individuals, limiting the implementation of mathemathical models to quantify an individual's secretion.

Het HOPES Onderzoek is een van de grootste onderzoeken van dit soort tot nu toe! Door bestaande hersenscans en gegevens van meer dan 4.000 jongeren tussen 14 en 25 jaar te bestuderen, hoopt het projectteam specifieke veranderingen in de hersenen te identificeren die jongeren kwetsbaar maken voor zelfmoordgedachten…

Dit artikel geschreven door Marieke Liem & Alexander Kamprad onderzoekt de relatie tussen terrorisme en interpersoonlijk geweld. Ze voerden cross-nationale analyses uit over de effecten van mortaliteitscijfers voor het terrorisme op moordcijfers. Uit de resultaten bleek dat terrorisme sterk en positief…

This thesis investigated miniaturized mass spectrometry (MS)-based analytical methods to address challenges in analyzing biomass-restricted biological samples.

Atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis is caused by an immune response which is directed against (modified) lipoproteins which accumulate in the vessel wall.

Waarom zijn transnationale en interculturele agenten zoals Henrich Carloff en Willem Leyel belangrijk voor de studie van de vroegmoderne expansie?

This thesis describes the use of a combined approach of computational and experimental techniques to gain novel insights to understand the glycosylation reaction and its reactive intermediates.

Cancer is considered the silent pandemic of the 21st century and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

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…

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

This thesis investigates the application of deep learning techniques in image analysis across various domains, focusing on four main themes: feature extraction, classification, segmentation, and integration, demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Metastasis, the process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body, makes treatments less effective. It is important to unravel the mechanism of metastasis.

Environmental challenges such as plastic pollution and biodiversity loss require extensive monitoring. Citizen science, in which members of the public participate in scientific research, has therefore become an important approach in environmental science.
