Immunotherapy has radically transformed the treatment of cancer in recent years. However, it does not work equally well for every patient. Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel explain that a relatively little-studied biological process may play a key role in this: the ageing of immune cells, also known as T-cell senescence. Their literature review was published on 3 September in the leadi

An hour of intensive work at the office or studying leaves us physically exhausted more quickly, even though, from a biological point of view, our muscles are still perfectly capable of performing at a high level.

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel has opened the first call for InterACT, an international program for postdoctoral researchers. This call gives researchers the opportunity to conduct research at the VUB for three years and at the same time work on the social impact of their research. InterACT wants to strengthen the bridge between science and policy. Researchers often provide knowledge
