Variations of intracellular density during the cell cycle arise from tip-growth regulation in fission yeast

Emrah Bostan, Pascal Damian Odermatt

Intracellular density impacts the physical nature of the cytoplasm and can globally affect cellular processes, yet density regulation remains poorly understood. Here, using a new quantitative phase imaging method, we determined that dry-mass density in fis ...

90 YEARS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone receptor signaling in the normal breast and its implications for cancer

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...

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 ...

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 ...

Role of Cnot6l in maternal mRNA turnover

Jun Ma, Radek Jankele

Removal of poly(A) tail is an important mechanism controlling eukaryotic mRNA turnover. The major eukaryotic deadenylase complex CCR4-NOT contains two deadenylase components, CCR4 and CAF1, for which mammalian CCR4 is encoded by Cnot6 or Cnot6l paralogs. W ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

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 ...

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 ...

Progesterone and Overlooked Endocrine Pathways in Breast Cancer Pathogenesis

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Cathrin Brisken, Rachel Marcone

Worldwide, breast cancer incidence has been increasing for decades. Exposure to reproductive hormones, as occurs with recurrent menstrual cycles, affects breast cancer risk, and can promote disease progression. Exogenous hormones and endocrine disruptors h ...

Culture of preantral follicles in poly(ethylene) glycol-based, three-dimensional hydrogel: a relationship between swelling ratio and follicular developments

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

This study was undertaken to examine how the softness of poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG)-based hydrogels, creating a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment, influences the in vitro growth of mouse ovarian follicles. Early secondary, preantral follicles of 2we ...

The Orphan Nuclear Receptor Nr5a2 Is Essential for Luteinization in the Female Mouse Ovary

Kristina Schoonjans

In the ovary, the follicular granulosa cells express the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2), also known as liver receptor homolog-1, and after ovulation, Nr5a2 expression persists in the corpus luteum. Previous studies d ...

Liver receptor homolog-1 is essential for pregnancy

Kristina Schoonjans

Successful pregnancy requires coordination of an array of signals and factors from multiple tissues. One such element, liver receptor homolog-1 (Lrh-1), is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates metabolism and hormone synthesis(1). It is strongly expres ...
