Cognitive Impairment and Metabolite Profile Alterations in the Hippocampus and Cortex of Male and Female Mice Exposed to a Fat and Sugar-Rich Diet are Normalized by Diet Reversal

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Adélaïde Alice Mohr

Diabetes impacts on brain metabolism, structure, and function. Alterations in brain metabolism have been observed in obesity and diabetes models induced by exposure to diets rich in saturated fat and/or sugar and have been linked to memory impairment. Howe ...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells derived from porcine exocrine pancreas improve insulin secretion from juvenile porcine islet cell clusters

Sandrine Gerber, Luca Szabó

Neonatal and juvenile porcine islet cell clusters (ICC) present an unlimited source for islet xenotransplantation to treat type 1 diabetes patients. We isolated ICC from pancreata of 14 days old juvenile piglets and characterized their maturation by immuno ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Luciano Andres Abriata, Xudong Kong, Kaycie Marie Butler, Vanessa Carle

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Andreas Wiederkehr, Isabelle Chareyron

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

Amyloid-beta oligomerization is associated with the generation of a typical peptide fragment fingerprint

Davide Demurtas, Adrian Schmid, Cyntia De Piano, Marc Moniatte, Christophe Fuerer

Amyloid-beta (A beta) peptide oligomerization plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and A beta oligomers are collectively considered an appealing therapeutic target for the treatment of AD. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

Pancreatic islet cells isolation and transplantation into the bone marrow

Sandrine Gerber

Bone marrow is currently being considered as an alternative site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The goal of the present review is to report preclinical and clinical studies taking advantage of this new implantation site. Preclinical studies in mice ...

REST represses a subset of the pancreatic endocrine differentiation program

Anne Grapin-Botton, Yung Hae Kim

To contribute to devise successful beta-cell differentiation strategies for the cure of Type 1 diabetes we sought to uncover barriers that restrict endocrine fate acquisition by studying the role of the transcriptional repressor REST in the developing panc ...

From food to physiology characterization and in vitro digestion of milk products and investigation of postprandial metabolism and inflammation after a high-fat meal intake in a human nutrition intervention study

Flurina Schwander

According to the World Health Organization worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. The World health statistics 2012 report shows that one in six adults is obese, one in ten diabetic and one in three has a raised blood pressure. Overweight and o ...

Tissue Transglutaminase-mediated Glutamine Deamidation of beta-Amyloid Peptide Increases Peptide Solubility, Whereas Enzymatic Cross-linking and Peptide Fragmentation May Serve as Molecular Triggers for Rapid Peptide Aggregation

Horst Arthur Vogel, Yury Tsybin, Marc Moniatte, Adrian Schmid, Diego Chiappe, Enrico Condemi

Tissue transglutaminase (TGase) has been implicated in a number of cellular processes and disease states, where the enzymatic actions of TGase may serve in both, cell survival and apoptosis. To date, the precise functional properties of TGase in cell survi ...

Cell-responsive hydrogel for encapsulation of vascular cells

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The in vitro potential of a synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel as a bioactive co-encapsulation system for vascular cells and a small bioactive peptide, thymosin beta 4 (T beta 4), was examined. We ...
