As usual, teamwork makes the dreamwork and this would have not been possible without the help of @SteveStegen, @katerinarohlena, @CarmelietLab, @LambrechtsDLab and many others, as well as @FWOVlaanderen and @KU_Leuven for the funding!! (3/4)
We found that loss of G6PDH does not affect chondrocyte proliferation, but reduces NADPH, especially during differentiation: NADPH provides reducing power to safeguard oxidative protein folding, sustains proteostasis and protects against ferroptosis (2/4)
Very happy to share the final chapter of my PhD Research with @GeertLab, now online in @NatMetabolism, revealing that the pentose phosphate pathway in #chondrocytes is crucial for ER redox homeostasis and cell survival to ensure chondrocyte functioning and bone lengthening (1/4)

Time-lapse of our latest asset: meet the Echo-zenoTOF (@SCIEXnews). We will move into large cohort screening with analysis time as low as 0.3 sec/sample. The Echo is currently on its way to Hamilton (@HamiltonCompany) for robotics integration @FWOVlaanderen @VIBLifeSciences

Last weekend, a CCB delegation cycled the #1000km of @komop_tgkanker 🚴🚴
Together with 1250 other teams, they managed to collect almost 7M EUR to support cancer research!
Amazing effort, amazing team 🤩
Thank you Bram, Shauni, Isabelle, Lars, Alexandra, Frederik en Amelie!

Last week 2 of our colleagues (Shauni and Lars) cycled to raise money for the cancer research foundation @komop_tgkanker. Together with other cyclists they raised close to 7M euro!! @VIBLifeSciences @KU_Leuven @vib_ccb – at Geetbets, België

Do you want to know more about cancer metabolism? @VIBMetaboCoreLV is ready to teach you. Join us : KU Leuven - Wat eten kankercellen? - Op Locatie - dagvandewetenschap.be/activi…. And here is a sneak preview on how food is used to support growth of cells. @VIBLifeSciences @KU_Leuven
Wait for ittttttt.... Very excited to announce the start of a new chapter in my academic career @VIBMetaboCoreLV ! #Metabolomics always had a special place in my heart, so I am ready to take it to the next level!! @VIBLifeSciences @vib_ccb
