This paper proposes a novel approach to investigate the geography of accessibility and air pollution and tests it on the case of the Brussels Capital Region. First, we find a strong positive correlation between accessibility and air pollution, highlighting a trade-off that exists between two emblematic but antithetical externalities of agglomeratio...
Plasticizers and other plastics additives have been extensively used as ingredients of plastics and are as a result thereof easily released in the aquatic environment, due to different physical diffusion processes. In this context, a dedicated method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of 27 known and a virtually unlimited number of u...
Background: Infection of suckling mice with influenza virus expands a CD4(-)CD8(-) double-negative (DN) natural killer T (NKT) cell subpopulation that protects the mice as adults against allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR). However, this NKT cell subset has not been characterized, and the underlying mechanisms of protection remain unknown...

Zebrafish behavioral model is a powerful tool for neuroscience research. Behavioral changes in the zebrafish are studied by administering drugs. With the aid of automated and open-source MATLAB program, high-accuracy tracking of zebrafish can be achieved, and the important behavioral parameters can be calculated. Although mercury is accepted as a p...
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), as alternatives of brominated flame retardants, can cause neuro-developmental effects similar to organophosphate pesticides. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity remain elusive. O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) regulates numerous neural processes through the O-G...
