Psychotropic drug-induced genetic-epigenetic modulation of CRTC1 gene is associated with early weight gain in a prospective study of psychiatric patients

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Background: Metabolic side effects induced by psychotropic drugs represent a major health issue in psychiatry. CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) gene plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis and epigenetic mechanisms may ...

An autonomous untethered fast soft robotic insect driven by low-voltage dielectric elastomer actuators

Yves Perriard, Herbert Shea, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Matthias Imboden, Vito Cacucciolo, Xinru Ji, Xinchang Liu, Xiaobin Ji

Insects are a constant source of inspiration for roboticists. Their compliant bodies allow them to squeeze through small openings and be highly resilient to impacts. However, making subgram autonomous soft robots untethered and capable of responding intell ...

Does desorption affect the length distributions of nanowires?

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina

State-of-the art models for statistical properties within the nanowire ensembles consider influx of precursors, reflection and surface diffusion of adatoms. These models predict a delay in the nanowire growth start and the evolution toward an asymmetric le ...

Assessing body image in anorexia nervosa using biometric self-avatars in virtual reality: Attitudinal components rather than visual body size estimation are distorted

Stephan Streuber

Background. Body image disturbance (BID) is a core symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN), but as yet distinctive features of BID are unknown. The present study aimed at disentangling perceptual and attitudinal components of BID in AN. ...

Small Heterodimer Partner Deletion Prevents Hepatic Steatosis and When Combined With Farnesoid X Receptor Loss Protects Against Type 2 Diabetes in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr(-/-) Shp(-/-) double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight gain, gl ...
