L'eau est une matière première de grande importance pour la survie des êtres humains et de leur environnement. L'augmentation de la population mondiale et la diversification des besoins sollicitent de plus en plus cette ressource, ce qui mène à des pénurie ...
The mechanisms orchestrating spatial cell division control remain poorly understood. In animal cells, the position of the mitotic spindle dictates cleavage furrow placement, and thus plays a key role in governing spatial relationships between resulting dau ...
Background and ObjectivesEndometriumablation provides an alternative treatment modality to hysterectomy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Its feasibility was demonstrated in animal studies. The purpose of this study was the evaluation of histol ...
BACKGROUND: Autologous transplantation is an attractive approach to treat some neurological diseases. A major obstacle is the capacity to produce cells for transplantation at the appropriate time. We describe a cryopreservation procedure for adult human br ...
In this paper, we intend to gain an understanding of the interaction of light with microstructures. Measurements of amplitude and phase in the diffracted field close to gratings using a heterodyne scanning probe are presented. Coherent light diffracted by ...
Objectives and Methods: To investigate the impact of prenatal diagnosis on trisomy 2 1 live births, we collected all prenatal and postnatal trisomy 2 1 cases (n = 1096) in the eastern half of Switzerland for the years 1980-1996. Results: Despite increasing ...
The authors present here a novel approach to induce protein dimerization in living cells through covalent labeling of fusion proteins with ligands which are interacting with other proteins. The covalent labeling is based on the reaction of the DNA repair p ...
During gastrulation, a cascade of inductive tissue interactions converts pre-existing polarity in the mammalian embryo into antero-posterior pattern. This process is triggered by Nodal, a protein related to transforming growth factor-beta (TFG-beta) that i ...
The protective function of the skin is mediated by the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, which is the end-product of epidermal differentiation. Previously, we showed that fetal rat skin explants complete the late-stage milestones of epiderm ...
PPAR-gamma/RXR heterodimers play a key regulatory role in murine placental development. We report here that PPAR-gamma and RXR-alpha are highly expressed in cultured primary extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCT) isolated from human first-trimester placenta. ...
