    Kanker-gerelateerde vermoeidheid is een van de meest belastende en persisterende klachten bij mensen met kanker. Ondanks uitgebreid onderzoek ontbreken nog steeds een mechanistisch begrip ervan en betrouwbare voorspellers van behandelrespons. In het FAIR-CARE project wordt een fundamenteel nieuwe benadering gebruikt waarin klachten niet geïsoleerd worden bestudeerd, maar als onderdeel van een dynamisch netwerk van symptomen.…

    A milestone for the M2B study

    Our Molecule to Behavior (M2B) study on brain tumors has now included more than two hundred participants! In this study that has been running since 2014, we examine how a brain tumor affects thinking and communication between brain regions, from molecules to behavior. This reflects the core of our multiscale network neuroscience approach within the…
