Discovery of a novel gene involved in primary lymphedema  

Identifying the genetic causes is crucial for a better management of the disease

The Human Molecular Genetics laboratory headed by Miikka Vikkula (WELBIO – UCLouvain) identified a gene responsible for primary lymphedema, a discovery essential for proper diagnosis and opening possibilities for the development of treatments.

Ammonium’s journey across cell membranes  

Ammonia and the proton are transported separately

Anna Maria Marini et Mélanie Boeckstaens (ULB) with teams from Strathclyde and Dundee show that the AmtB protein from the bacteria E. coli separately translocates ammonia and the proton, the ion being carried out by two chains of water molecules.

Mechanisms responsible for tissue growth  

Developmental progenitors control the optimality of postnatal

Cédric Blanpain (ULB) and his team uncover the mechanisms mediating postnatal tissue development. They found that a unique developmental stem cell population mediates tissue expansion by a constant self-duplication throughout postnatal development.
