Sphingolipids accumulate in aged muscle, and their reduction counteracts sarcopenia

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Davide D'Amico, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Peiling Luan, Qi Wang, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig

Age-related muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia are major causes of physical incapacitation in older adults and currently lack viable treatment strategies. Here we find that sphingolipids accumulate in mouse skeletal muscle upon aging and that both genetic a ...

Capturing Cardiogenesis in Gastruloids

Matthias Lütolf, Romain Guiet, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Mehmet Ugur Girgin, Giuliana Rossi, Andrea Boni

Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here, we show ...

Delta-Notch signalling in segmentation

Andrew Charles Oates

Modular body organization is found widely across multicellular organisms, and some of them form repetitive modular structures via the process of segmentation. It's vastly interesting to understand how these regularly repeated structures are robustly genera ...

Mechanical and Functional Study of Cell Physiology at the Nanoscale

Pascal Damian Odermatt

By live-cell imaging of biological samples dynamic cellular processes can be resolved. Fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are both capable of imaging live cells. By combining these techniques structural as well as functional inf ...

A balancing act between stratification and EMT in cultured human thymic epithelial cells

Matteo Pluchinotta

The thymus is the primary organ for T cell differentiation and maturation. Its stroma forms a characteristic sponge-like 3D structure mainly composed of thymic epithelial cells. Despite of this unconventional epithelial architecture, TECs express markers a ...

NuMA phosphorylation by CDK1 couples mitotic progression with cortical dynein function

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Sachin Kotak

Spindle positioning and spindle elongation are critical for proper cell division. In human cells, an evolutionary conserved ternary complex (NuMA/LGN/Gαi) anchors dynein at the cortex during metaphase, thus ensuring correct spindle positioning. Whether thi ...

Activation and Spatial Organization of the Adenosine A2A Receptor in Supported Plasma Membrane Sheets

Sophie Roizard

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are ubiquitous mediators of signal transduction across cell membranes and constitute a very important class of therapeutic targets. The main mechanisms involving GPCR activation and signal transduction to the cell interi ...

Spindle positioning in human cells relies on proper centriole formation and on the microcephaly proteins CPAP and STIL

Pierre Gönczy, Debora Keller, Fernando Romero Balestra, Petr Strnad

Patients with MCPH (autosomal recessive primary microcephaly) exhibit impaired brain development, presumably due to the compromised function of neuronal progenitors. Seven MCPH loci have been identified, including one that encodes centrosome protein 4.1 as ...

Artificial stem cell niches

Matthias Lütolf

Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self-renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding essentially unlimited numbers of daughter cells that can maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counte ...

Structural determinants underlying the temperature-sensitive nature of a Galpha mutant in asymmetric cell division of Caenorhabditis elegans

Pierre Gönczy

Heterotrimeric G-proteins are integral to a conserved regulatory module that influences metazoan asymmetric cell division (ACD). In the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote, GOA-1 (Galpha(o)) and GPA-16 (Galpha(i)) are involved in generating forces that pull on a ...

Method of enhancing proliferation and/or hematopoietic differentiation of stem cells

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga

The present invention provides methods for inducing differentiation of a stem cell, such as an embryonic stem cell, into a hematopoietic stem cell, by expressing a cdx gene and/or a hox gene. The method is useful for generating expanded populations of hema ...
