NO sex without KISS(peptin)!
A research team led by Prof. Julie Bakker (GIGA-ULiège) and Prof. Ulrich Boehm (Saarland University, Germany) has made a major advancement in our understanding of how the brain controls sex. Using female mice as a model, the researchers found that a hormone in the brain, (appropriately) called kisspeptin, drives both attraction to the opposite sex and sexual behavior.

Ready-to-use recipe for turning plant waste into gasoline
Bioscience engineers at KU Leuven already knew how to make gasoline in the laboratory from plant waste such as sawdust. Now the researchers have developed a roadmap, as it were, for industrial cellulose gasoline. In 2014, at KU Leuven's Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, researchers succeeded in converting sawdust into building blocks for gasoline.

New research projects on carbon capture and utilization
Ghent university coordinates the CATCO2RE and CO2PERATE project, recently financed by the Flemish Government. Turning waste into a resource The discovery of efficient technologies that enable the use of CO2 as a starting material for chemical synthesis is one of the biggest scientific challenges of our time.

Frogs use molecules that act as tiny fangs to get their poison into predators
A team of researchers from the Amphibian Evolution lab at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Laboratory of Veterinary Bacteriology and Mycology at Ghent University has deciphered how poisonous frogs manage to intoxicate an attacking predator fast enough to avoid begin eaten.
