😀😀 Congrats, Ana, Angela, Margalida, and Tijs, on getting the FWO PhD fellowship!! It was a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end! @Atilgan__Yilmaz @HugoVake @FWOVlaanderen @DevReg_KULeuven @scil_leuven

📢📢We seek a motivated PhD student to study chemoresistance in breast cancer! 🎓🎓

We want to thank all the co-authors for their help during the project. Excellent work from @YoussefLaithy @danielannibali @PaedCancerEvol @ChristineDesme2 @ColindaScheele @DevReg_KULeuven

📢Happy to share our latest work showing how breast cancer cells adapt to chemotherapy by activating the Wnt pathway and acquiring drug-tolerant persister cell features such as a diapause transcriptional signature and chemoresistance. @scil_leuven biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Chemotherapy-driven de novo Wnt pathway activation dictates a dynamic shift to a drug-tolerant state in breast cancer cells biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cancer

👏🎓Yesterday, Jonathan Chui successfully defended his PhD degree. Congrats, Dr. Chui; you did an excellent job, and we are very proud of you. 😀👏🎓🎓 @JChui_ @scil_leuven @DevReg_KULeuven Thanks to all the Jurys and Chair!

On Wednesday February 21 at 5 pm, Jonathan Chui will defend his PhD with title: "Advancing hiPSC-Derived Differentiation: Exploring Hyperosmolarity and Transcription Factor Reprogramming". The defense will take place in the aula of ON5. A livestream will be available.

@SermonKaren It is from Heartstopper books. Very nice. 😀

Got a happy holidays card from my neighbour who works at a bookshop 😃

@TissueHomandDis @FWOVlaanderen @SilviaMonteag @SCEBP_Lab @DevReg_KULeuven @KU_Leuven Congrats!!! 😀👏👏

Grant application news day! Happy to share that our @FWOVlaanderen project on epigenetic in osteoarthritis will be funded. New questions to solve with @SilviaMonteag. Also happy for other SBE team @SCEBP_Lab to be successful in this round - @DevReg_KULeuven @KU_Leuven

👏Congrats @BekaertBieke for your excellent PhD defense of yesterday👏. It was a pleasure to be part of your external jury members together with @Atilgan__Yilmaz . Also congrats to your promoters @bheindry, @BoelAnnekatrien, and Prof B.Menten.

@GMinchiotti @Dev_Cell @Fp_Iavarone @CnrIgb @CNRsocial_ @RenoirITN Congrats Ombretta and Gabriella! Beautiful work! Brave.

🎤🎤Our second edition of Lluis lab happy hour with games, Karaoke and Belgian Fries was again a success!! Thanks to all the members of the lab for organizing and all the SCIL for participating! 😀👏🥳🥳 @scil_leuven

📢Our article about how osmolar conditions in cell media might improve human pluripotent cells differentiation and induce cell cycle arrest is finally out 😀 in Advanced Science. Excellent job @T_Izuel and @JChui_. Thanks to all the co-authors. doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

My congratulations to the organizers of the @ESHRE meeting “Methodologies in reproductive medicine and endometrial disorders” for their excellent work. As a plus I had the best company going and during the meeting 😀🤗@vincentpasque @eshresigendo @SigStemCells @DevReg_KULeuven

Wondering how to generate in vitro stem models for the human hypoblast or mouse primitive endoderm…the lineage never fully recapitulated in #Blastoids - see this insightful discussion by @MartaPrera of naive extra embryonic endoderm #nEnd #fig0010" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In part 2 of Session 2, Prof. Lluis Vinas of @lab_lluis outlined that mouse PE and epiblast have different needs for Wnt, with Wnt inhibition inducing PE formation. Tcf7l1 deletion results in wnt activation and impairs PE formation. Wnt is also differently regulated in humans.
