(author), Wesselink, Thomas H. (author), van Duikeren, Suzanne (author), Arens, Ramon (author)Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has the power to eradicate cancer, but the mechanisms that determine effective therapy-induced immune responses are not fully understood. Here, using high-dimensional single-cell profiling, we interrogate whether the landscape of T cell states in the peripheral blood predict responses to combinatorial targeting...journal article 2023

Blanch Jover, A. (author), Dekker, C. (author)The Cdv system is the protein machinery that performs cell division and other membrane-deforming processes in a subset of archaea. Evolutionarily, the system is closely related to the eukaryotic ESCRT machinery, with which it shares many structural and functional similarities. Since its first description 15 years ago, the understanding of the...review 2023

Baldauf, L. (author)Cells are the fundamental units of life. They make up all living things, from bacteria that live in the soil, to archea that give thermal springs their bright colors, to trees and humans. All of these cells share some common functions: they build themselves from basic building blocks, following the instructions of their genetic blueprint, and...doctoral thesis 2022

Blanch Jover, A. (author)All living organisms share the need to replicate and proliferate to ensure the survival of their species. In prokaryotes, this is generally guaranteed by a process of cell division where a mother cell is split into two equally sized daughter cells, and it is a complex and heterogeneous process across all the different species. When looking into...doctoral thesis 2022

van Linden, N. (author)Ammonia (NH3) is one of world’s most-produced chemicals and is mostly used as a raw resource for fertilisers. From the used NH3-based fertilisers, almost half of the NH3 ends up in receiving water bodies, leading to eutrophication, eventually resulting in species diversity loss in the aquatic environment. To minimise environmental damage, total...doctoral thesis 2022

de Wagter, C. (author)Highly automated Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or "flying robots" are rapidly becoming an important asset to society. The last decade has seen the advent of an impressive number of new UAV types and applications. For many applications, the UAVs need to be safe, highly automated, and versatile. Safety is a prerequisite to allowing their use in...doctoral thesis 2022

van Buren, L. (author)Everything that we consider alive, be it plants, dogs, bacteria or humans, is composed of the same microscopic building blocks: cells. While cells between and even within these organisms can look and behave very differently, they all share the same key functionalities: they can grow, they can divide to proliferate, they can eat and metabolise to...doctoral thesis 2022

Han, C. (author)In the efficiency-driven photovoltaic (PV) industry, the market dominating crystalline silicon (c-Si) technology has been developing towards PV devices with carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPCs). Especially, the silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell, based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) contact stacks, and the poly-Si...doctoral thesis 2022

Nouri Goushki, M. (author)Osteoimmunomodulation (OIM) is a mechanism through which orthopedic biomaterials may modulate the function of immune cells to promote osteogenesis. OIM is considered a potentially effective way for improving osseointegration. The surface characteristics of orthopedic implants (e.g., topography, wettability, surface chemistry, and charge) can...doctoral thesis 2022

Godino, E. (author)The Christophe Danelon lab is involved in the long-term effort to construct an autonomous minimal cell using a bottom-up approach. Our goal is to achieve self-maintenance, selfreproduction, and evolution of a liposome compartment containing a minimal genome and a cell-free gene expression system. Self-reproduction requires splitting of the...doctoral thesis 2022

Berenger-Currias, N.M.L.P. (author)Embryogenesis is a fascinating mystery. How a single fertilized egg, the zygote, reads out its genetic information and turns into a fully formed, multicellular organism still defies detailed understanding. <br/>An adult organism can consist of trillions of cells of different types, organized to form various complex tissues and organs. To obtain...doctoral thesis 2022

Ganjian, M. (author)Recurrent bacterial infection is one of the main reasons of implant failure, hugely impacting the patients’ quality of life, and ultimately resulting in morbidity and even mortality. This type of infection starts with the attachment of the bacteria to the implant surface, leading to biofilm formation and, thus, high resistance against...doctoral thesis 2022

(author)In this article, we investigate the passivation quality and electrical contact properties for samples with a 150 nm thick n+ polysilicon layer in comparison to samples with a phosphorus diffused layer. High level of passivation is achieved for the samples with n+ polysilicon layer and an interfacial oxide underneath it. The contact properties...journal article 2022

Rahimi, Serveh (author), Shooshtari, M. (author)Here we investigated a novel layer-based optimization technique to improve the performance of a CZTSe solar cell. By using this technique, the optical behavior and electrical properties of the proposed solar cell improved significantly as a result of the changes in the layer specifications and the layer materials. The structure of the cell...journal article 2022
