Role of the androgen receptor in the human breast epithelium

Fabio De Martino

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and understanding the risk factors affecting it is key for prevention. The relative risk of developing breast cancer is related to exposure to both endogenous hormones and exogenous natural and ...

Prolyl endopeptidase-like is a (thio)esterase involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain function

Matteo Dal Peraro, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez

Deficiency of the serine hydrolase prolyl endopeptidase-like (PREPL) causes a recessive metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and growth hormone deficiency. The pathophysiology of PREPL deficiency and the physiologic ...

Extended gate field-effect-transistor for sensing cortisol stress hormone

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Hoël Maxime Guérin, Junrui Zhang, Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei, Luca Capua, Shokoofeh Sheibani

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and is a major glucocorticoid produced by adrenal glands. Here, we report a wearable sensory electronic chip using label-free detection, based on a platinum/graphene aptamer extended gate field effect tr ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acromegaly: Evaluating the role of the biological effective dose associated with endocrine remission in a series of 42 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a valuable treatment option for persistent and/or recurrent acromegaly secondary to growth hormone (GH) secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Here, we assess the role of biological effective dose (BED) received b ...

At the Intersection of Microbiota and Circadian Clock: Are Sexual Dimorphism and Growth Hormones the Missing Link to Pathology? Circadian Clock and Microbiota: Potential Egffect on Growth Hormone and Sexual Development

Benjamin Dieter Weger, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon

Reciprocal interactions between the host circadian clock and the microbiota are evidenced by recent literature. Interestingly, dysregulation of either the circadian clock or microbiota is associated with common human pathologies such as obesity, type 2 dia ...

The Mouse Microbiome Is Required for Sex-Specific Diurnal Rhythms of Gene Expression and Metabolism

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Jake Yeung, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metab ...

Liquidity, Innovation, And Endogenous Growth

Semyon Malamud, Francesca Maria Zucchi

We build a model of endogenous, innovation-driven growth in which innovative firms have costly access to outside financing and hoard cash reserves to maintain financial flexibility. We show that financing frictions slow down Schumpeterian creative destruct ...

Development of topological tools for the analysis of biological data

Rachel Marcone

There is a growing need for unbiased clustering algorithms, ideally automated to analyze complex data sets. Topological data analysis (TDA) has been used to approach this problem. This recent field of mathematics discerns characteristic features of a space ...

Pancreatic α- and β-Cellular Clocks Have Distinct Molecular Properties and Impact on Islet Hormone Secretion and Gene Expression

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Cédric Gobet

A critical role of circadian oscillators in orchestrating insulin secretion and islet gene transcription has been demonstrated recently. However, these studies focused on whole islets and did not explore the interplay between α-cell and β-cell clocks. We p ...

Tuning growth direction of catalyst-free InAs(Sb) nanowires with indium droplets

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Nicholas Paul Morgan

The need for indium droplets to initiate self-catalyzed growth of InAs nanowires has been highly debated in the last few years. Here, we report on the use of indium droplets to tune the growth direction of self-catalyzed InAs nanowires. The indium droplets ...

Functional and structural properties of strong inhibitory synapses in a binaural auditory circuit

Enida Gjoni

Neuronal circuits are defined in their function and computational outcome by the synaptic interplay of Excitation and Inhibition (E/I). One step further in understanding the role of these opposite interactors in neuronal computations consists in determinin ...

Bile acid-FXR alpha pathways regulate male sexual maturation in mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The bile acid receptor Farnesol-X-Receptor alpha (FRX alpha) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. FRX alpha is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult testes, which contain the Leydig cells. In adult, short term treatment (12 hou ...

A Preclinical Model for ERα-Positive Breast Cancer Points to the Epithelial Microenvironment as Determinant of Luminal Phenotype and Hormone Response

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Valentina Scabia, Rachel Marcone, Laura Battista, Valérian Charles Robert Dormoy

Seventy-five percent of breast cancers are estrogen receptor α positive (ER(+)). Research on these tumors is hampered by lack of adequate in vivo models; cell line xenografts require non-physiological hormone supplements, and patient-derived xenografts (PD ...

Endocrine hormones and local signals during the development of the mouse mammary gland

Cathrin Brisken, Dalya Ataca

Most of mammary gland development occurs postnatally under the control of female reproductive hormones, which in turn interact with other endocrine factors. While hormones impinge on many tissues and trigger very complex biological responses, tissue recomb ...
