Wat is het effect van digitale leeskilometers op de leesvaardigheid van beginnende lezers in groep 3?

Despite the fact that gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are one of the most studied nanoparticles, there is still a necessity for new approaches allowing for effective protective coating to enable wider use of GNPs in biomedical applications.

In this thesis, we aimed to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in TNBC progression and metastasis formation and discover new targets to reduce breast cancer related deaths.

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

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.

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are a large and diverse class of relatively understudied transmembrane proteins.

Drug development critically depends on preclinical models that mimic human physiology, yet traditional two-dimensional cultures and animal models often lack predictive power.

Mechanical forces are known to play an important role in bacterial colonies. In this dissertation, we study the self-organization at various stages of growing bacterial colonies, and focus on the mechanical effects of cell growth.

This thesis investigates how cell shape and collective behavior influence the dynamics and structure of biological tissues, which are crucial for understanding processes like embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and metastasis.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, and better models are urgently needed for disease progression studies and drug development.

Het ICLON doet onderzoek naar het basis- en voortgezet onderwijs.

Perspectieven zouden het fundament van een toekomstbestendig curriculum in alle onderwijssectoren moeten zijn

Met een perspectiefgerichte benadering van onderwijs worden kennis, vaardigheden en houding van leerlingen met elkaar verbonden.

De studieonderdelen die betrekking hebben op het functioneren van studenten in de onderwijspraktijk zijn Praktijk 1 (eerste deel van de opleiding) en Praktijk 2 (tweede deel van de opleiding).

What are the pressing issues of our time, and how can different disciplines come together to address them? Studium Generale and Leiden University College (LUC) present the Global Challenges series: events that bring together researchers from LUC and experts from other disciplines to tackle a shared…

De focus van dit proefschrift is het leren en de samenwerking van docenten in het voortgezet onderwijs.

Voorstellen voor onderwijsvernieuwing hebben doorgaans weinig impact op de onderwijspraktijk. Zijn docenten dan zo recalcitrant of is er toch wat anders aan de hand?

In dit artikel analyseren Lydie Cabane en Martin Lodge analyseren de invloed van institutionele keuzes op het aanpassen van beleidsintegratie in grensoverschrijdende crisisbeheersing.

Integrins play an essential role in multicellular life by connecting cells to the extracellular matrix.

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in computer vision, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics to archaeological research.

The overarching goal of this thesis is to set the foundations, but also make the first essential steps towards establishing a comprehensive, mesoscopic, hydrodynamic theory of epithelial tissues. The stage is set by an exhaustive study of topological defects in passive p-atic liquid crystals, singularities…

The first steps are made in personalised cancer vaccination strategies, which aim to induce a more specific immune response with fewer side effects. The activation of cytotoxic T cells is crucial for an effective immune response.

Endothelial dysfunction and microvascular diseases are key drivers of cardiovascular disease, the world's leading cause of death.

In this thesis, we focus on novel proteins/mechanisms that regulate integrin-adhesion mediated mechano-transduction.

This thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization and performance towards CO2 electroreduction of mono and bi-metallic particles based on p-block metals

This doctoral thesis is an effort to understand how lipid phase-separation induced by diacylglycerol analogues in lipid-based nanoparticles affects their in vivo behavior, leading to specific nanoparticle-protein communications and selective cell targeting.

In previous studies at our laboratory it was demonstrated that drug exposure of HepG2 cells can lead to an altered TNFα-induced NF-κB oscillatory phenotype, concurrent with a synergistically increased sensitivity for TNFα-induced apoptosis.

Pericytes, the mural cells of blood microvessels, are important regulators of vascular morphogenesis and function that have been postulated to mechanically control microvascular diameter through as yet unknown mechanisms.

In photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), a biologically active compound is caged by a light-cleavable protecting group.

Onderzoeken en ontwerpen zijn twee vaardigheden die steeds belangrijker worden in de vakken O&O (onderzoeken en ontwerpen) en NLT (natuur, leven en technologie). Uit onderzoek van Tessa Vossen (ICLON en Faculteit Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen) blijkt dat docenten en leerlingen de relevantie van onderzoeken…
