Early-life vitamin A treatment rescues neonatal infection-induced durably impaired tolerogenic properties of celiac lymph nodes

Jörn Pezoldt

Gut -draining mesenteric and celiac lymph nodes (mLNs and celLNs) critically contribute to peripheral tolerance toward food and microbial antigens by supporting the de novo induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These tolerogenic properties of mLNs and c ...

NAD(+) Precursors: A Questionable Redundancy

Carlos Canto Alvarez

The last decade has seen a strong proliferation of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases based on increasing cellular NAD(+) bioavailability. Among them, the dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors-classicall ...

Balancing NAD(+) deficits with nicotinamide riboside: therapeutic possibilities and limitations

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Alterations in cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) levels have been observed in multiple lifestyle and age-related medical conditions. This has led to the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors, or vitamin B3s, could ...

Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production

Nicolas Mermod

Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...

Development of novel tools for imaging of metabolic fluxes in vivo

Tamara Maric

Bioluminescent imaging is a powerful technique that enables imaging in living organisms with high sensitivity, low background signal, low cost and without the need for radioactivity. The emitted photons are produced in the oxidation reaction of luciferin c ...

Vitamin B12 deficiency and impaired expression of amnionless during aging

Sonia Karaz, Laurence Goulet, Alice Pannerec

Background Physical frailty and loss of mobility in elderly individuals lead to reduced independence, quality of life, and increased mortality. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to several age-related chronic diseases, including in the musculo-skeleta ...

Thiazolium carbene catalysts for the fixation of CO2 onto amines

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Mylène Soudani, Safak Bulut, Shoubhik Das

The catalytic N-formylation and N-methylation of amines using CO2 as the carbon source represents a facile and sustainable approach for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Herein, we describe highly effective and inexpensive thiazolium c ...

Study of the influence of over-the-counter vitamin supplement intake on urine fluorescence to optimize cancer detection by fluorescence cystoscopy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy (FC) efficiently enhances the detection and improves the therapeutic management of early bladder cancer. During an FC, about 150 ml of water is needed to inflate the bladder. The water is quickly diluted by urine which can be fluore ...

Mitochondrial function in the brain links anxiety with social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Olivia Zanoletti, Fiona Hollis, Michael van der Kooij, Laura Lozano Montes

Dominance hierarchies are integral aspects of social groups, yet whether personality traits may predispose individuals to a particular rank remains unclear. Here we show that trait anxiety directly influences social dominance in male outbred rats and ident ...
