KRAB zinc finger protein ZNF676 controls the transcriptional influence of LTR12-related endogenous retrovirus sequences

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Julien Léonard Duc, Alexandre Coudray, Michaël Imbeault, Tamara Rossy, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Alexandra Iouranova, Jonas Caspar De Tribolet-Hardy

Background Transposable element-embedded regulatory sequences (TEeRS) and their KRAB-containing zinc finger protein (KZFP) controllers are increasingly recognized as modulators of gene expression. We aim to characterize the contribution of this system to g ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pili actively induce mucus contraction to form biofilms in tissue-engineered human airways

Bart Deplancke, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Jörn Pezoldt, Tamara Rossy, Lucas Andrade Meirelles, Tania Distler

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes antibiotic-recalcitrant pneumonia by forming biofilms in the respiratory tract. Despite extensive in vitro experimentation, how P. aeruginosa forms biofilms at the airway mucosa is unresolved. To inv ...

Biofilms deform soft surfaces and disrupt epithelia

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Tamara Rossy, Alice Cont, Zaïnebe Dhirani

During chronic infections and in microbiota, bacteria predominantly colonize their hosts as multicellular structures called biofilms. A common assumption is that biofilms exclusively interact with their hosts biochemically. However, the contributions of me ...

Bacterial colonization in realistic environments: how mechanics impact biofilm formation in the wild and during infection

Tamara Rossy

A variety of physical inputs acts onto bacteria in nature. However, these are most often ignored in the studies of their physiology. There is now increasing evidence indicating that bacteria respond to physical stimuli, including mechanical forces. Yet, qu ...

Cellular advective-diffusion drives the emergence of bacterial surface colonization patterns and heterogeneity

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Tamara Rossy

Microorganisms navigate and divide on surfaces to form multicellular structures called biofilms, the most widespread survival strategy found in the bacterial world. One common assumption is that cellular components guide the spatial architecture and arrang ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...
