Lipid signaling and inflammation: metabolomics for better diagnosis and treatment strategy
Lipid signaling is an essential biological event/process in a plethora of pathophysiological conditions. The underlying idea of this thesis is that many of the roles and the complex interplay of the individual signaling lipids in inflammatory processes and related conditions in health and disease is…

Exploring chemical space in covalent and competitive glycosidase inhibitor design
Glycoside hydrolases (glycosidases/GHs) are widely abundant enzymes in all kingdoms of life and are important biocatalysts that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in oligo/polysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids with tremendous efficiency

Chemical genetic approaches for target validation
Drug development is a time- and resource-consuming process that starts with the discovery and validation of a (protein) target that contributes to pathogenesis or disease progression.

Nieuwe stoffen remmen ontsteking in het brein
Leidse chemisch biologen, onder leiding van dr. Mario van der Stelt, hebben stoffen ontdekt die ontstekingsprocessen in de hersenen kunnen verminderen. Daarmee is een eerste stap gezet in de ontwikkeling van potentiële geneesmiddelen voor de behandeling van hersenziekten zoals de ziekten van Alzheimer…

Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry based Metabolomics Approaches for Volume-restricted Applications
Metabolomics is a powerful tool that can provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of human biology and the pathophysiology of diseases. By analyzing the metabolome, which refers to the complete set of small (endogenous) molecules (with a mass <1500 Da) present within a given biological system,…

Boosting the host immune system to fight tuberculosis
New drugs for use as tuberculosis (TB) treatment are needed due to the constrains of classical antibiotics against TB and the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains, making TB a harder and harder disease to treat.

Evolutionary adaptability of β-lactamase: a study of inhibitor susceptibility in various model systems
β-Lactamases are enzymes that can break down β-lactam substrates, such as antibiotics, preventing the use of these antibiotics for the treatment of various infectious diseases. However, some compounds, β-lactamase inhibitors, can block these enzymes allowing for possible treatments using a combination…

Inverse design of curvature-sensing antiviral peptides
Viral diseases constitute one of the major challenges in modern medicine. Membrane-targeting have broad-spectrum potential and could distinguish viral membranes from the host cell plasma membrane by the difference in membrane curvature.

Nieuwe planten produceren zonder zaaien
Zonder een gewas opnieuw te zaaien toch nakomelingen produceren, die zelfs groter kunnen zijn dan de ouderplant. Volgens Leidse onderzoekers is dat mogelijk door het overstimuleren van één gen. Daarmee verjongt een cel en gaat deze terug naar de embryonale fase.

Levensverlengend gen bij planten ontdekt
Oogst na oogst binnenhalen van rijstveld, zonder nieuwe rijstplanten te zetten? Door een ontdekking komt dit scenario misschien wel dichterbij. Leidse wetenschappers hebben een gen ontdekt waarmee ze eenjarige planten na het bloeien opnieuw laten groeien, in plaats van dat de planten sterven. Publicatie…

‘Onbelangrijk’ plantengen blijkt wel degelijk essentieel
Leidse biologen hebben aangetoond dat een gen dat aanwezig is in planten, dieren en gisten wel degelijk een belangrijke rol speelt in planten, al werd daar jaren anders over gedacht. Zonder het gen blijkt de ontwikkeling van vaatweefsel in planten niet goed op gang te komen. Publicatie in Nature Plants…

Development of a Kidney-on-a-Chip Model for Compound Screening and Transport Studies
Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…
