Early Neuroprotective Effects of Bovine Lactoferrin Associated with Hypothermia after Neonatal Brain Hypoxia-Ischemia in Rats

Yohan Van de Looij, Analina Raquel Hausin

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy (HIE) in term newborns is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability. Hypothermia (HT) is the only clinically available therapeutic intervention; however, its neuroprotective effects are limited. Lacto ...

Role of the androgen receptor in the human breast epithelium

Fabio De Martino

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and understanding the risk factors affecting it is key for prevention. The relative risk of developing breast cancer is related to exposure to both endogenous hormones and exogenous natural and ...

Estrogen receptor signaling in the human breast epithelium

Céline Berthe Constantin

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide, making effective prevention strategies crucial. Hormonal contraceptives, consisting of a synthetic progesterone receptor agonist alone or in combination with an estrogen, are used by millio ...

Outer membrane lipoprotein NlpI scaffolds peptidoglycan hydrolases within multi-enzyme complexes in Escherichia coli

Ann-Kristin Hov

The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus provides bacteria with the mechanical strength to maintain cell shape and resist osmotic stress. Enlargement of the mesh-like sacculus requires the combined activity of peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases. In Escherichia ...

A Review: Electrochemical Biosensors for Oral Cancer

Hubert Girault, Ligang Wang, Tzu-En Lin, Sorour Darvishi

Oral cancer poses a serious threat worldwide owing to its soaring case-fatality rate and its metastatic characteristics of spreading to the other parts of the body. Despite the recent breakthroughs in biomedical sciences, the detection of oral cancer at an ...

Combined deletion of Glut1 and Glut3 impairs lung adenocarcinoma growth

Rolf Gruetter, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Bernard Lanz, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Etienne Meylan, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Nadine Fournier, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey, Stéphanie Clerc, Justine Pascual, Silvia Sabatino

Glucose utilization increases in tumors, a metabolic process that is observed clinically by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG-PET). However, is increased glucose uptake important for tumor cells, and which transporters are impl ...

Mixture effects of drinking water disinfection by-products: implications for risk assessment

Urs von Gunten

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water have been associated with increased cancer risk but single DBPs cannot explain epidemiological cancer occurrences. To test if combined effects of DBPs are plausible to explain epidemiological evidence for a ...

A high resolution LC-MS targeted method for the concomitant analysis of 11 contraceptive progestins and 4 steroids

Cathrin Brisken, Marc Moniatte, Jonathan Paz Montoya, Fabio De Martino, Marie Shamseddin, Csaba Ferenc László

In the context of hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), many women are exposed to exogenous hormones. Current use of hormonal contraception with combined ethinyl estradiol and different progestins bestows a breast cancer relative ri ...

Sex-specific changes in gene expression in response to estrogen pollution around the onset of sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae)

Oliver Michele Selmoni

The synthetic 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a common estrogenic pollutant that has been suspected to affect the demography of river-dwelling salmonids. One possibility is that exposure to EE2 tips the balance during initial steps of sex differentiatio ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synthesis and Characterization of a Water Stable Uranyl(V) Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Radmila Faizova

We have identified a polydentate aminocarboxylate ligand that stabilizes uranyl(V) in water. The mononuclear [UO2(dpaea)]X, (dpaeaH2 = Bis(pyridyl-6-methyl-2-carboxylate)-ethylamine; X = CoCp2*+ or X = K(2.2.2.cryptand) complexes have been isolated from an ...

Intraductal patient-derived xenografts of estrogen receptor α-positive breast cancer recapitulate the histopathological spectrum and metastatic potential of human lesions

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia, Georgios Sflomos, Laura Battista, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Valérian Charles Robert Dormoy, Patrik Aouad

Estrogen receptor α-positive (ER-positive) or 'luminal' breast cancers were notoriously difficult to establish as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We and others recently demonstrated that the microenvironment is critical for ER-positive tumor cells; when ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Oral application of Escherichia coli bacteriophage: safety tests in healthy and diarrheal children from Bangladesh

Patrick Descombes

A T4-like coliphage cocktail was given with different oral doses to healthy Bangladeshi children in a placebo-controlled randomized phase I safety trial. Fecal phage detection was oral dose dependent suggesting passive gut transit of coliphages through the ...

Photosensitizing and Inhibitory Effects of Ozonated Dissolved Organic Matter on Triplet-Induced Contaminant Transformation

Urs von Gunten

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is both a promoter and an inhibitor of triplet-induced organic contaminant oxidation. This dual role was systematically investigated through photochemical experiments with three types of DOM of terrestrial and aquatic origins ...
