Assessment of laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and dynamic light scattering (mDLSTM) to detect differences in blood flow and coagulation between healthy volunteers and patients with coagulation disorders or hemoglobinopathies

Primary objective- Short- and mid-term repeatability of mDLS and LSCI measures;- Comparison of blood flow obtained by LSCI and blood flow obtained by mDLS;- Comparison of coagulation status obtained by mDLS and coagulation status assessed by…

Assessment of blood flow velocity and oximetry using non-invasive retinal and cutaneous microcirculation imaging in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and healthy volunteers.

Assessment of the cutaneous and retinal microcirculation in SCD patients and matched controls:- Long- and short-term repeatability of LSCI and NiRFI ;- Comparison of cutaneous and retinal microcirculation between SCD patients and matched healthy…

Blood outgrowth endothelial cell - mediated coagulation

The aim of this research is to improve the understanding of the coagulation system through a detailed characterization and quantification of biosynthesis and expression of several coagulation proteins in BOECs. The data obtained in the study will be…

Study of (increased) expression of red blood cell pyruvate kinase antigen and ineffective erythropoiesis in patients with red blood cell pyruvate kinase deficiency.

Primary Objective: The here described study aims to strengthen the recently obtained results regarding increased expression of PK antigen in patients with PK-deficiency. This will be achieved by increasing the number of investigated patients and…

The Effect of Gaucher Disease on Bone Cells

This will be a pilot study that aims to gain insight into the effect of Gaucher disease on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:What is the effect of inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with…

General- To compare physical activity levels of pediatric patient subjects with healthy control subjects.- To compare mean heart rate and variation in heart rate during the day of patients and healthy controls.- To compare sleep duration of patients…

Searching Patterns In the Robustness of Immunological FVIII Tolerance

The aim of SPIRIT is to investigate the mechanisms of the immunological tolerance to FVIII in patients with hemophilia A aged younger than 18 years using NFT for prophylaxis.

Blood Outgrowth Endothelial Cells (BOECs) and Megakaryocytes (MKs) for in vitro studies of hemostatic and secretory function.

1. To establish optimized approaches for the isolation and characterization of BOECs, CD34+-derived MKs, iPSC- ECs and iPSC-MKs.2. Dissect the cellular mechanisms that control endothelial and platelet (secretory) function, thereby understanding the…
