Nitroarenes as Antitubercular Agents: Stereoelectronic Modulation to Mitigate Mutagenicity

Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres

Nitroarenes are less preferred in drug discovery due to their potential to be mutagenic. However, several nitroarenes were shown to be promising antitubercular agents with specific modes of action, namely, nitroimidazoles and benzothiazinones. The nitro gr ...

Privacy Threats and Practical Solutions for Genetic Risk Tests

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro, Ludovic Barman, Mohammed-Taha El Graini

Recently, several solutions have been proposed to address the complex challenge of protecting individuals’ genetic data during personalized medicine tests. In this short paper, we analyze different privacy threats and propose simple countermeasures for the ...

Tissue engineering for prenatal applications

Anna-Sofia Johanna Kiveliö

Fetal therapies have become available for a restricted number of life-threatening clinical conditions. Harnessing tissue engineering for prenatal applications has not been widely pursued even though isolating cells from fetal and extraembryonic tissues has ...

Engineered cell instructive matrices for fetal membrane healing

Iatrogenic preterm prelabour rupture of fetal membranes (iPPROM) occurs in 6-45% of the cases after fetoscopic procedures, posing a significant threat to fetal survival and well-being. The number of diagnostic and therapeutic prenatal interventions availab ...

Assessing dystrophies and other muscle diseases at the nanometer scale by atomic force microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Harald Brune, Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Guillaume Witz

Aim: Atomic force microscopy nanoindentation of myofibers was used to assess and quantitatively diagnose muscular dystrophies from human patients. Materials & methods: Myofibers were probed from fresh or frozen muscle biopsies from human dystrophic patient ...

Hollow cylinder simulation experiments of galleries in Boom Clay formation

Vincent Labiouse, Claire Sauthier, Shuang You

In the context of nuclear waste disposal in clay formations, laboratory experiments were performed to study at reduced scale the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) induced by the construction of galleries in the Boom Clay formation. For this purpose, thick-wall ...

Contribution of Genetic Background, Traditional Risk Factors, and HIV-Related Factors to Coronary Artery Disease Events in HIV-Positive Persons

Jacques Fellay

Background. Persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have increased rates of coronary artery disease (CAD). The relative contribution of genetic background, HIV-related factors, antiretroviral medications, and traditional risk factors to CA ...

Privacy-Preserving Processing of Raw Genomic Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro, Adam Molyneaux

Geneticists prefer to store patients’ aligned, raw genomic data, in addition to their variant calls (compact and summarized form of the raw data), mainly because of the immaturity of bioinformatic algorithms and sequencing platforms. Thus, we propose a pri ...

Protecting and Evaluating Genomic Privacy in Medical Tests and Personalized Medicine

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro, Jacques Rougemont

In this paper, we propose privacy-enhancing technologies for medical tests and personalized medicine methods that use patients' genomic data. Focusing on genetic disease-susceptibility tests, we develop a new architecture (between the patient and the medic ...
