De tussentijdse verkiezingen in de Verenigde Staten worden een motie van goed- of afkeuring over president Donald Trump en zijn politiek van verdeeldheid, zegt Brendan Carroll, universitair docent Bestuurskunde. In dit blog legt hij uit waarom de opkomst wellicht een beslissende factor wordt.

'Het Nederlands Centrum voor Elektronen Nanoscopie (NeCEN) is een mooi voorbeeld van een faciliteit die op nationale schaal toegang biedt tot de laatste ontwikkelen op het gebied van cryo-elektronen microscopie', dat schrijft Sriram Subramaniam, een vooraanstaand leider in deze tak van sport, in het…

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

Het Access & Support Platform (ASP) is een netwerk van ervaringsdeskundige medewerkers en studenten aan de Universiteit Leiden op het gebied van beperking en ondersteuningsbehoefte.

eLaw onderzoekt de rol van het recht in de informatiemaatschappij: hoe kan het recht bijdragen aan een goede werking van informatie- en communicatietechnologie, en het gebruik ervan door burgers, bedrijven en overheden?

The research group Science Communication and Society aims to understand how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. Central themes are ‘Bridging the gap between experts and the general public’ and ‘Evaluating Science Communication’.

Streptomyces present a valuable platform for natural product discovery. Lugdunomycin is a novel angucycline-derived polyketide from Streptomyces sp QL37, with unprecedented skeleton and antimicrobial activity.

In this thesis we investigated the ability of two-photon multifocal microscopy for single-molecule microscopy in live cells and organisms.

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.

A remarkable population of short period transiting rocky exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures on the order of 2,000 K has recently been discovered.

The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.

The main aim of this thesis was to unravel the signaling and regulatory networks that drive tumor cell migration during breast cancer metastasis.

This thesis discusses several questions regarding the double ramification cycle as a Chow class on the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves using tools from so-called logarithmic geometry.

Microbial rhodopsins are photosensitive pigments implemented in the growth and adaptation of a large population of microorganisms.

An Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is a highly luminous region at the center of a galaxy, powered by the accretion into a supermassive black hole and emitting energy from radio waves to gamma rays, often outshining the host galaxy.

In this work, we attempt to answer the question:

Fungal infections pose a significant threat to individuals with compromised immune systems and despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, they continue to jeopardize patient’s health.

Heart failure is a major health care problem with high mortality.

Adenosine is an endogenous ligand which exerts its action by activating adenosine receptors (ARs), while its circulating levels are controlled via a variety of mechanism and proteins, amongst others the equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs).

This ecological community has long been known to affect host biology, and their diverse roles have been further clarified in recent years following numerous studies of animal:microbiota interactions in diverse systems.

This dissertation presents new cryptographic protocols, which can be divided into two families.

Thermodynamics is one of the founding scientific pillars that has helped us better understand heat engines, biology, ecosystems, and even black holes. While it fundamentally describes large systems by examining the bulk behavior of their constituents, it is anchored in the statistical equivalence of…

Inactivating mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes predispose to several types of cancer.

The invention of neural networks marks a critical milestone in the pursuit of true artificial intelligence. Despite their impressive performance on various tasks, these networks face limitations in learning efficiently as they are often trained from scratch.

This thesis focus on the interaction between M dwarf stellar winds and Galactic cosmic rays and the possible effects on the habitability of exoplanets.

This thesis is comprised of three chapters covering the theme of studying semistable varieties by looking at their dual combinatorial objects.

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.
