In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

Gaucher disease is a rare metabolic disorder, in which a mutation of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) causes buildup of its substrate glucosylceramide and the deacylated counterpart glucosylsphingosine in lysosomes.

For each living organism health is ensured by correct functioning of its cells. Cells therefore have elaborate methods for regulation of their proteins.

How should jurisdictions, both on the national and on the supra-national level, handle the interaction between public and private law where it regards the regulation of financial markets?

Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine. This course will give you state of the art updates about what used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago and is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide.

Effectieve ontwikkelingshulp: gebruik lokale kennis en structuren. Projecten in ontwikkelingslanden om een deugdelijk bestuur op te zetten, mislukken vaak omdat de hulporganisaties zich onvoldoende verdiepen in de lokale kennis en mores, stelt Moosa Elayah. Een Local Bank of Knowledge kan een oplossing…

The aim of this thesis is to present novel techniques for proving cryptographic schemes secure against quantum adversaries. Most results are within the context of an idealized model called the ‘quantum random-oracle model’.

In this top-rated course, you will learn how the European Union prepares and decides on policy, and how policy is transferred to member states and implemented by various authorities. It discusses the challenges of the European multi-level governance structure and the main causes of policy failure or…

Binnen het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) wordt in verschillende onderzoeksprojecten gebruik gemaakt van pathogene micro-organismen van risicogroep 3. Voor het werken met deze ziekteverwekkers beschikt het LUMC over een onderzoekslaboratorium met hoge inperking om de experimenten voor mens…

Autopaghy is an intracellular degradation system which targets cytosolic components to lytic compartments for degradation and recycling of the building blocks of the cell.

The work in this thesis has been focused on two subjects. The first is the assembly of alginate oligosaccharides and the generation of building blocks for the enzymatic synthesis of alginate, and the second is the total synthesis of large fragments of the zwitterionic SP1 polysaccharide.

The use of increasingly large and diverse datasets to guide urban climate action has implications for how, and by whom, local governments are held accountable.

Kunnen we van quantum-verrassingen quantum toepassingen maken? Kunnen we het leven onderzoeken en opbouwen vanuit de nano-schaal?

This thesis describes the implementation and on-sky demonstration of high-resolution integral-field spectroscopy for extreme adaptive optics systems that are used to find and characterize exoplanets.

Search and conversational systems have become central to how people access information and perform tasks.

This thesis attempts to interrogate post-1991-2015 political development in Ethiopia, focusing on the political discourses espoused by the government and opposition, using the discourse analysis method and securitization theory.
