Her research focused on small fat particles that can serve as targeted delivery vehicles for the immune system. ]]> Self-healing stent prevents amputations /en/news-and-events/news-overview/04-06-2026-self-healing-stent-prevents-amputations /en/news-and-events/news-overview/04-06-2026-self-healing-stent-prevents-amputations Thu, 04 Jun 2026 07:29:00 +0200 Inflammation after a transplant is something you want to avoid at all costs, because your transplant will be rejected. Yet it turns out that the key to healing lies precisely in that troublesome inflammatory response. Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at 黑料福利网 are not aiming to suppress the immune system, but instead to use inflammation as a trigger to let the body heal itself. They do this with regenerative heart valves and stents that grow along with their surrounding tissue. ]]> Sandra Loerakker appointed full professor of Modeling in Mechanobiology /en/news-and-events/news-overview/01-06-2026-sandra-loerakker-appointed-full-professor-of-modeling-in-mechanobiology /en/news-and-events/news-overview/01-06-2026-sandra-loerakker-appointed-full-professor-of-modeling-in-mechanobiology Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:34:00 +0200 Sandra Loerakker has been appointed full professor of Modeling in Mechanobiology in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网), effective 1 June 2026. In parallel, she recently took on the role of Vice Dean of the department, further strengthening her contribution to its strategic development. ]]> 'Leadership is for all of us' /en/news-and-events/news-overview/21-05-2026-leadership-is-for-all-of-us /en/news-and-events/news-overview/21-05-2026-leadership-is-for-all-of-us Thu, 21 May 2026 16:25:00 +0200 黑料福利网's President Koen Janssen, Dean of Applied Physics and Science Education Kees Storm and program manager Lonneke van Luxemburg on 黑料福利网's new leadership model and program. ]]>
