Are you also a desperate cell-free RNA researcher? It’s not always a grim story. Philippe Decruyenaere is defending his excellent PhD thesis on extracellular RNA in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. @crighent.bsky.social

"Eindelijk beeld bij het verhaal van onze genen" Dit artikeltje wou ik toch even delen. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek helder uitleggen is niet makkelijk, en toch is het belangrijk. Hier legt Hanne, een doctoraal onderzoeker in ons OncoRNALab (@crighent.bsky.social @ds-ugent.bsky.social) ...

7 years in the making... 1.6 liters of blood and 11 billion sequencing reads to compare 456 extracellular transcriptomes. Our best practices for blood plasma extracellular RNA profiling have been published as a peer-reviewed article. communities.springernature.com/posts/the-ro...

After 16 years, an update of the qPCR #MIQE guidelines is out on how to design, execute, analyze, and report on #qPCR experiments doi.org/10.1093/clin.... The original paper from 2009 accumulated 17,000 citations (scholar.google.be/citations?vi...). @genequan.bsky.social @jimhuggett.bsky.social

👉 Finally the update of the MIQE Guidelines is out in Clinical Chemistry 👍 𝗠𝗜𝗤𝗘 𝟮.𝟬: 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗖𝗥 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 lnkd.in/dhWhtZqC

Ik heb zopas de resulaten doorgestuurd van de waterkwaliteit in de Tichelbeek t.h.v. de Brandstraat in Zulte, als deel van het grootste burgeronderzoek ooit. Ben je ook benieuwd naar de resultaten? Neem dan een kijkje op www.watermonsters.be. Vanaf 7 juni zijn alle resultaten gekend. #watermonsters

Ever wondered what RNA in your body fluids can reveal about your health? 🤔 Eva Hulstaert took on the challenge, collecting and analyzing various biofluids to uncover hidden insights. 👩‍🔬 Anneleen Decock & I share the story of this fascinating quest in EOS Wetenschap (in Dutch): tinyurl.com/4ev7vk83

Did you know that our body contains dozens of different biofluids (like blood, sweat, urine, saliva, ...) and that these give insights into our health? OncoRNALab members @amorlion.bsky.social and Anneleen Decock wrote a fascinating story (in Dutch) in the science magazine Eos - lnkd.in/ern_2kDW
