Gender medicine and oncology: report and consensus of an ESMO workshop

Jacques Fellay

Background: The importance of sex and gender as modulators of disease biology and treatment outcomes is well known in other disciplines of medicine, such as cardiology, but remains an undervalued issue in oncology. Considering the increasing evidence for t ...

Separation of blood microsamples by exploiting sedimentation at the microscale

Philippe Renaud, David Forchelet

Microsample analysis is highly bene cial in blood-based testing where cutting-edge bioanalytical technologies enable the analysis of volumes down to a few tens of microliters. Despite the availability of analytical methods, the di culty in obtaining high-q ...

Peer Influence on the Engagement of Fitness Tracker Usage: A Diabetes and Obesity Study

Pearl Pu Faltings, Yu Chen

Maintaining a physically active lifestyle is important for diabetic and obese patients, but how to motivate them to exercise and engage them in the long run remains a challenging issue. We aim to motivate their activities using fitness trackers and prevent ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Joël Chételat, Murielle Bochud, Solange Catherine Gaillard

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Motor and cognitive brain circuits of brain-machine interactions

Silvia Marchesotti

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) allow the user to control an external device such as a robotic arm, a cursor, or an avatar in a virtual world through the real-time decoding of brain signals and without the involvement of the musculoskeletal system. Althoug ...

Protein acetylation in metabolism - metabolites and cofactors

Johan Auwerx, Elena Katsyuba, Hongbo Zhang, Keir Joe Menzies

Reversible acetylation was initially described as an epigenetic mechanism regulating DNA accessibility. Since then, this process has emerged as a controller of histone and nonhistone acetylation that integrates key physiological processes such as metabolis ...

SIRT1 Gain of Function Does Not Mimic or Enhance the Adaptations to Intermittent Fasting

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Patrick Descombes

Caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to prevent the onset of insulin resistance and to delay age-related physiological decline in mammalian organisms. SIRT1, a NAD(+) -dependent deacetylase enzyme, has been suggested to mediate the adaptive responses to ...

Quantifying the role of motor imagery in brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Silvia Marchesotti

Despite technical advances in brain machine interfaces (BMI), for as-yet unknown reasons the ability to control a BMI remains limited to a subset of users. We investigate whether individual differences in BMI control based on motor imagery (MI) are related ...

Mfn1 Deficiency in the Liver Protects Against Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance and Enhances the Hypoglycemic Effect of Metformin

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Richardus Houtkooper, Patrick Descombes, Joanna Ratajczak, Catherine Maclachlan, Wen Gao

Mitochondrial function can be influenced by mitochondrial shape and connectivity with other cellular organelles through fusion and fission processes. Disturbances in mitochondrial architecture and mitochondrial fusion related genes are observed in situatio ...

Blood Plasma Lipidomic Signature of Epicardial Fat in Healthy Obese Women

ObjectivesA lipidomic approach was employed in a clinically well-defined cohort of healthy obese women to explore blood lipidome phenotype ascribed to body fat deposition, with emphasis on epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). MethodsThe present investigation d ...
