Antibody-peptide conjugates for targeted inhibition of cysteine proteases

Elisa Oricchio

We developed a rational approach to design peptide-based covalent inhibitors and coupled the inhibitors with antibodies for cell-specific delivery. We used this platform to generate antibody-peptide inhibitor conjugates (APICs) that target a family of prot ...

Beyond worst-case analysis, with or without predictions

Andreas Maggiori

In this thesis we design online combinatorial optimization algorithms for beyond worst-case analysis settings. In the first part, we discuss the online matching problem and prove that, in the edge arrival model, no online algorithm can achieve a competiti ...

Low temperature and mTOR inhibition favor stem cell maintenance in human keratinocyte cultures

Kai Johnsson, Yann Barrandon, Thomas Michael Braschler, Ariane Rochat, Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Fahd Azzabi Zouraq, Johannes Alexander Mosig

Adult autologous human epidermal stem cells can be extensively expanded ex vivo for cell and gene therapy. Identifying the mechanisms involved in stem cell maintenance and defining culture conditions to maintain stemness is critical, because an inadequate ...

Microfluidic device combining hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic trapping for the controlled contact between single micro-sized objects and application to adhesion assays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...

Alternative dimerization is required for activity and inhibition of the HEPN ribonuclease RnlA

Gabriela Garcia Rodriguez

The rnlAB toxin-antitoxin operon from Escherichia co/ifunctions as an anti-phage defense system. RnlA was identified as a member of the HEPN (Higher Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Nucleotide-binding domain) superfamily of ribonucleases. The activity of the tox ...

Crizotinib acts as ABL1 inhibitor combining ATP-binding with allosteric inhibition and is active against native BCR-ABL1 and its resistance and compound mutants BCR-ABL1(T315I) and BCR-ABL1(T315I-E255K)

Oliver Hantschel

Resistance remains the major clinical challenge for the therapy of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia. With the exception of ponatinib, all approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are unable to inhibit the common "gatekeeper" mutation T315I ...

A high-throughput cell- and virus-free assay shows reduced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Valeria Cagno, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Jérémy Campos

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the serum of an individual indicates previous infection or vaccination. However, it provides limited insight into the protective nature of this immune resp ...

Microbial Ecology of Methanotrophy in Streams Along a Gradient of CH4 Availability

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Alexandre Bagnoud

Despite the recognition of streams and rivers as sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, the role of CH4 oxidation (MOX) in these ecosystems remains poorly understood to date. Here, we measured the kinetics of MOX in stream sediments of 14 sites to res ...
