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)

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)

Nature Metabolism - Loopmans et al. show that the pentose phosphate pathway in chondrocytes provides reducing power to ensure proteostasis necessary for bone lengthening.

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!

Happy to share that another manuscript of my PhD research was recently published in @The_JBMR: we show that different types of #skeletal #stem and progenitor cells increase proliferation in #hypoxia by rewiring glucose and amino acid #metabolism in a cell-specific manner. (1/3)
