Nature, nurture and neural mechanisms of social emotion regulation in childhood

This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and immunological evaluation of varying (neo)antigenic peptide conjugates containing either a TLR2 or a TLR7 agonist.

The objective of this study was to investigate the expression and function of GRHL2 in different breast cancer subtypes.

The main aim of my Ph.D. thesis is to further explore the value of using early developing zebrafish larvae (up to 5 dpf) as a model to study anxiety-like behaviour and their pharmacological modulation with drugs.

Welke factoren (mens-dimensie en carnivoor-gerelateerd) zijn bepalend voor de menselijke tolerantie ten opzichte van grote carnivoren en voor de overlevingskansen van grote carnivoren in bossen met meervoudig gebruik?

Bekend is dat drugs via Nederlandse havens gesmokkeld worden, maar bij Bulk Terminal Zeeland speelde iets bijzonders. Pieter Tops legt uit op NPO Radio 1.

Van een optimaal ontworpen schip dat zelf aangeeft wanneer welk onderhoud nodig is, tot een intelligente reisplanner voor wereldwijd goederenvervoer. Het bruist op de drie Zuid-Hollandse universiteiten van het AI-onderzoek op haven- en maritiem gebied. Onderzoekers vertellen. Deel 2 van een serie over…

Chapter 2 describes a post-synthetic methodology to introduce a fluorescent label in highly lipophilic, Pam3Cys based conjugates.

Cyclic peptides are investigated as a platform to induce different orientations between various ligands.

How can we, together international experts, define future needs of R+D contributions for innovations in the field of risk-based management of chemicals and products in a global perspective using alternative testing strategies to minimize animal tests?

Het doel van het RAISE Onderzoek is om te onderzoeken hoe veerkrachtige mensen omgaan met stress. We kijken specifiek naar hoe belangrijke biologische systemen, zoals de HPA-as en het immuunsysteem, samenwerken met de hersenen en de sociale omgeving om veerkrachtig functioneren na moeilijkheden in de…

The human body consists of hundreds, perhaps thousands of different types of cells, each with different morphologies and functions, despite having the same genome.

This thesis describes the development of a variety of mannosylated conjugates. Antigen presenting cells bear mannoside recognizing receptors that actively transport antigen into the cell. This thesis exploits this feature for the development of improved vaccines.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that human macrophages can be induced to exert direct anti-tumor activity against osteosarcoma cells. Our observation that the induction of macrophage anti-tumor activity by L-MTP-PE required IFN-gamma may be of relevance for the optimization of L-MTP-PE therapy in…

Graduation MIRD Class of 2024: 'The world is better off with students like this'

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

In deep reinforcement learning, searching and learning techniques are two important components. They can be used independently and in combination to deal with different problems in AI, and have achieved impressive results in game playing and robotics. These results have inspired research into artificial…
