Gene replacement therapy provides benefit in an adult mouse model of Leigh syndrome

Johan Auwerx, Giorgia Benegiamo

Mutations in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are responsible for a broad spectrum of disorders among which Leigh syndrome is the most common in infancy. No effective therapies are available for this severe disease mainly because of the limited capabili ...

Horizontal transport under wind-induced resonance in stratified waterbodies

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Periodic winds acting on a stratified waterbody can amplify normal modes of motion and enhance the basin-scale circulation via resonance. Here, we use idealized largeeddy simulations to investigate the flow features and quantify the horizontal transport in ...

Overload blunts baroreflex only in overreached athletes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Masih Nilchian

Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used to diagnose overreaching and monitor athletes’ responses to training. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is modified by changes in training load and might be another means to detect overreaching. The goal of this stu ...
