Declarations

:

: The study on human samples was conducted in compliance with the ethical guidelines of the 2013 Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Comité d’Ethique Hospitalo-Facultaire (UCLouvain and Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc) with numbers 2018/06Jul/281 and 2021/26OCT/444. In accordance with article 8 of the internal rules of the Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, the need for informed consent was waived to the present retrospective study. The study is based solely on the analysis of residual human body material and on the collection of data existing in the medical files of patients who have not expressed their opposition to the use of their medical file for scientific research purposes. An informed consent exemption request was thus presented to the Ethics Committee, which was accepted. Mice received humane care and the research protocol was approved by the Animal Welfare Committee of the Université Catholique de Louvain with number 2022/UCL/MD/17.
