The angiopoietin-Tie2 pathway regulates Purkinje cell dendritic morphogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner

Michele De Palma

Neuro-vascular communication is essential to synchronize central nervous system development. Here, we identify angiopoietin/Tie2 as a neuro-vascular signaling axis involved in regulating dendritic morphogenesis of Purkinje cells (PCs). We show that in the ...

The influence of human genetic variation on Epstein–Barr virus sequence diversity

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Dylan Lawless, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Sina Rüeger

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common viruses latently infecting humans. Little is known about the impact of human genetic variation on the large inter-individual differences observed in response to EBV infection. To search for a potential imp ...

Microfluidics and cell-free synthetic biology in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms

Grégoire Michielin

In phenylketonuria, absence or malfunction of the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme results in toxic accumulation of phenylalanine in the body. An injectable recombinant enzyme therapy was recently approved and has the potential to improve the quality of li ...

Apelin-13 Protects Corpus Cavernosum Against Fibrosis Induced by High-Fat Diet in an MMP-Dependent Mechanism

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Léa Liliane Colette Anguenot, Maiia Bragina, Augusto Martins Lima

Background: An increased fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa is a prevalent process that underlies most cases of erectile dysfunction. Apelin, an endogenous circulating peptide, has been documented as an important effector on cardiovascular homeostasis, cont ...

Selection of Water-Soluble Chitosan by Microwave-Assisted Degradation and pH-Controlled Precipitation

Sandrine Gerber, Céline Marie Anne Journot, Yann Lavanchy, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle

In the field of gene therapy, chitosan (CS) gained interest for its promise as a non-viral DNA vector. However, commercial sources of CS lack precise characterization and do not generally reach sufficient solubility in aqueous media for in vitro and in viv ...

Site-Specific Protein Conjugation onto Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Nils Schürgers

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the few photostable optical emitters that are ideal for sensing, imaging, drug delivery, and monitoring of protein activity. These applications often require strategies for immobilizing prote ...

Single-Cell Tracing Dissects Regulation of Maintenance and Inheritance of Transcriptional Reinduction Memory

Sebastian Maerkl, Johannes Becker

Transcriptional memory of gene expression enables adaptation to repeated stimuli across many organisms. However, the regulation and heritability of transcriptional memory in single cells and through divisions remains poorly understood. Here, we combined mi ...

High-throughput microfluidic platforms for characterizing and engineering cell-free gene regulatory circuits

Zoe Newell Swank

Cell-free systems have emerged as a versatile platform for constructing complex biological systems from the bottom-up. In particular, they enable the rapid engineering and characterization of gene regulatory networks, a critical cellular subsystem that all ...

Inter-embryo gene expression variability recapitulates the hourglass pattern of evo-devo

Michael Vincent Frochaux, Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux

Background The evolution of embryological development has long been characterized by deep conservation. In animal development, the phylotypic stage in mid-embryogenesis is more conserved than either early or late stages among species within the same phylum ...
