Androgen Receptor Signaling in in vivo models of Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer and Normal Breast Epithelium
Steroid hormone receptors (HRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a pivotal role in breast development and carcinogenesis. It is well established that estrogen receptor (ER) signaling is a major proliferative driver in estrogen receptor ...
EPFL2024White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Philipp Johannes Koch, Liana Okudzhava
Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...
Hoboken2024Hippo-YAP/TAZ signalling coordinates adipose plasticity and energy balance by uncoupling leptin expression from fat mass
Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Jun Yong Kim, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Yoo Hoon Kim
Adipose tissues serve as an energy reservoir and endocrine organ, yet the mechanisms that coordinate these functions remain elusive. Here, we show that the transcriptional coregulators, YAP and TAZ, uncouple fat mass from leptin levels and regulate adipocy ...
Nature Portfolio2024Innovative Biomarkers for Obesity and Type 1 Diabetes Based on Bifidobacterium and Metabolomic Profiling
Stephan Morgenthaler, Paul Refinetti, Mariya Yuryevna Skvortsova
The role of Bifidobacterium species and microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and human milk oligosaccharides in controlling intestinal inflammation and the pathogenesis of obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been largely studied ...
MDPI2024The interplay between white adipose tissue, adipokines, and structural gray matter changes
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Liana Okudzhava
The growing global obesity issue emphasizes the importance of understanding its health implications. Previous research has identified consistent alterations in gray matter (GM) volume in connection with obesity. Given the various implications of distinct f ...
Wiley2024Is There a Special Role for Ovarian Hormones in the Pathogenesis of Lobular Carcinoma?
Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos
Lobular carcinoma represent the most common special histological subtype of breast cancer, with the majority classed as hormone receptor positive. Rates of invasive lobular carcinoma in postmenopausal women have been seen to increase globally, while other ...
Endocrine Soc2024Dietary L-Glu sensing by enteroendocrine cells adjusts food intake via modulating gut PYY/NPF secretion
Amino acid availability is monitored by animals to adapt to their nutritional environment. Beyond gustatory receptors and systemic amino acid sensors, enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are believed to directly percept dietary amino acids and secrete regulatory ...
Nature Portfolio2024Association between endocrine adjuvant therapy intake timing and disease-free survival in patients with high-risk early breast cancer: results of a sub-study of the UCBG- UNIRAD trial
Elise Hélène Dumas, Fabrice André
Background Circadian rhythms regulate cellular physiology and could in fl uence the ef fi cacy of endocrine therapy (ET) in breast cancer (BC). We prospectively tested this hypothesis within the UNIRAD adjuvant phase III trial (NCT01805271). Methods 1278 p ...
Elsevier2024Drug Screening in C. elegans to identify new pharmacological mitochondrial stress inducers
Mitochondria are essential organelles participating in numerous cellular functions, including energy harvesting, regulation of homeostasis and apoptosis. Changes in mitochondrial number, morphology, and function not only impact cellular metabolism but also ...
EPFL2024On the selection and effectiveness of pseudo-absences for species distribution modeling with deep learning
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden, Lloyd Haydn Hughes
Species distribution modeling is a highly versatile tool for understanding the intricate relationship between environmental conditions and species occurrences. However, the available data often lacks information on confirmed species absence and is limited ...
