Team Pioneers with Mycelium at Milan Design Week 2025

About 66 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into the planet, wiping out all non-avian dinosaurs and about 70 percent of all marine species.

In a country where multilingualism is the norm, detecting learning disorders such as dyslexia, dysorthographia and dyscalculia is a real challenge. To address this issue, the Luxembourg Centre for Educational Testing (LUCET) and the Centre for Learning Development have designed standardised tests adapted to the Luxembourg's multilingual context. Their goal is to provide more accurate diagnoses, avoid language-related misinterpretations and better support students with difficulties.

What is a fair way forward after the 1.5°C warming limit of the Paris Agreement has been breached? In a new study, an international team including VUB researchers explores the concept of 'net-zero carbon debt' - a m

First developed in 2018 by Professor Christophe Ley , this innovative approach to machine learning is making waves far beyond the lab. By blending statistical insights with machine learning models, Statistically Enhanced Learning unlocks new predictive power.

Dr. Lisa Ramaut from the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at the Brussels University Hospital (UZ Brussel) conducted research on the use of stem cells derived from adipose tissue for wound healing and scar formation. Her study sheds new light on the potential of these cells to improve surgical scars and prevent pathological scar formation.

Researchers from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZ Brussel) have developed an innovative digital application that enables fast and efficient screening of cognitive and motor impairments in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

At the LCSB, researchers model the complexity of the human brain in a Petri dish. Their work is highlighted in the latest episode of Primer , a new documentary series created by Bloomberg Originals that analyzes the complex science and technology shaping the future.

Researchers have identified a key gene in the regulation of nerve circuits in "Caenorhabditis elegans", a small worm often used in research. This gene, also present in humans, is associated with a rare form of infantile epilepsy. Their work suggests that an excessive release of neuropeptides could play a key role in this disease, opening up new research prospects.

A researcher from VUB has developed a system that can predict wind turbine failures caused by early component malfunctions. He specializes in condition monitoring, a technique that uses data from turbine sensors and artificial intelligence to track the machine's condition.
