DNA methylation sites in early adulthood characterised by pubertal timing and development: a twin study

Markus Kirolos Youssef

Background Puberty is a highly heritable and variable trait, with environmental factors having a role in its eventual timing and development. Early and late pubertal onset are both associated with various diseases developing later in life, and epigenetic c ...

The Ovulatory Signal Precipitates LRH-1 Transcriptional Switching Mediated by Differential Chromatin Accessibility

Kristina Schoonjans

In the ovary, follicular growth and maturation are complicated processes that involve a series of morphological and physiological changes in oocytes and somatic cells leading to ovulation and luteinization, essential processes for fertility. Given the comp ...

High-fat diet consumption alters energy metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High-fat diet consumption is known to trigger an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, which has been characterized by an initial expression of pro-inflammatory genes followed by hypothalamic astrocytosis, microgliosis, and the ...

Mechanism and effects of pulsatile GABA secretion from cytosolic pools in the human beta cell

Chiara Cianciaruso, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Edward Allen Phelps

Pancreatic beta cells synthesize and secrete the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) as a paracrine and autocrine signal to help regulate hormone secretion and islet homeostasis. Islet GABA release has classically been described as a secretory- ...

Assessment of menstrual health status and evolution through mobile apps for fertility awareness

Marcel Salathé, Laura Symul

For most women of reproductive age, assessing menstrual health and fertility typically involves regular visits to a gynecologist or another clinician. While these evaluations provide critical information on an individual's reproductive health status, they ...

Hormone receptor signaling in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer

Valentina Scabia

Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) signaling tightly interact in controlling postnatal breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. PR is a direct transcriptional target of ER signaling and ER and PR bind closely to DNA and i ...

Ovary-specific depletion of the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 compromises expansion of the cumulus oophorus but not fertilization by intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Kristina Schoonjans

The orphan nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (aka Nuclear receptor subfamily 5, Group A, Member 2 (Nr5a2)), is widely expressed in mammalian tissues, and its ovarian expression is restricted to granulosa cells of activated follicles. We employed t ...
