The effect of gene loss on adaptation | 3D cell shape analysis in embryos Rob Jelier, CMPG - Predictive Genetics and Multicellular Systems University of Leuven In this talk I will summarize two research projects. First, I will report on a large-scale experimental evolution study into the effect of gene deletion on adaptation. We found ... Read more

Therapeutic effects of HDAC3 inhibition on spinal injuries and autoimmune demyelinating diseases Arnau Hervera, Molecular and Cellular Neurobiotechnology The molecular mechanisms discriminating between regenerative failure and success remain elusive. While a regeneration-competent peripheral nerve injury mounts a regenerative gene expression response in bipolar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons, a regeneration-incompetent central spinal cord injury ...
