Cardiovascular diseases are still a major concern for the global health.

The expanding population and economic activity are driving up global energy consumption. Simultaneously, there is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources to mitigate the climate crisis, primarily caused by fossil fuel combustion.

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…

Sustainable energy from wind and solar is most readily available near the sea.

Multinationals blijven belasting ontwijken in Nederland en Europa. Dit loopt op tot jaarlijks 100 miljard euro. Volgens een rapport van de Europese Rekenkamer moet Brussel hier meer tegen doen. Jan Vleggeert, hoogleraar belastingrecht, sprak met de Volkskrant over dit rapport.

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Ferritin is a spherical metalloprotein, capable of storing and releasing iron in a controllable way. It is composed of a protein shell of about 12 nm and within its cavity, iron is stored in a mineral form.

Acute cardiovascular clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke represent the major cause of death in Western societies. These pathologies are primarily resulting from atherosclerosis, a progressive condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids, immune cells, and fibrous…
