In-flow electrochemical detection of chemicals in droplets with pyrolysed photoresist electrodes: application as a module for quantification of microsampled dopamine

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Joan Teixidor, Albert René Yvon Leroy

The electrochemical quantification of analytes in droplets of PBS separated by a fluorinated phase was investigated. PDMS-fused silica chips with pyrolysed photoresist electrodes were prepared using a simple fabrication technique and used to analyze drople ...

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 ...

Sensing serotonin secreted from human serotonergic neurons using aptamer-modified nanopipettes

Nako Nakatsuka, Dmitry Momotenko

The serotonergic system in the human brain modulates several physiological processes, and altered serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in the neuropathology of several psychiatric disorders. The study of serotonergic neurotransmission in psyc ...

Brainstem Correlates of a Cold Pressor Test Measured by Ultra-High Field fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olivier Benoit Thomas Reynaud, Domenica Bueti, Fatma Megdiche

Introduction Modern imaging techniques such as blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow the non-invasive and indirect measurement of brain activity. Whether changes in signal intensity can be detected in small ...

Diet modulates cecum bacterial diversity and physiological phenotypes across the BXD mouse genetic reference population

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams

The BXD family has become one of the preeminent genetic reference populations to understand the genetic and environmental control of phenotypic variation. Here we evaluate the responses to different levels of fat in the diet using both chow diet (CD, 13-18 ...

Phenylalanine Monitoring via Aptamer-Field-Effect Transistor Sensors

Nako Nakatsuka

Determination of the amino acid phenylalanine is important for lifelong disease management in patients with phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates and persists at levels that alter brain development and cause permanent neuro ...

The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory

Wei Tang

Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...

Semisynthetic sensor proteins enable metabolic assays at the point of care

Kai Johnsson, Rudolf Griss, Qiuliyang Yu, Lin Xue, Julien Hiblot

Monitoring metabolites at the point of care could improve the diagnosis and management of numerous diseases. Yet for most metabolites, such assays are not available. We introduce semisynthetic, light-emitting sensor proteins for use in paper-based metaboli ...

Dopamine induces soluble alpha-synuclein oligomers and nigrostriatal degeneration

Elpida Tsika

Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy body inclusions containing aggregated alpha-synuclein. Efforts to explain dopamine neuron vulnerability are hindered by the lack of do ...

Sympathetic activity and early mobilization in patients in intensive and intermediate care with severe brain injuries: a preliminary prospective randomized study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Background: Patients who experience severe brain injuries are at risk of secondary brain damage, because of delayed vasospasm and edema. Traditionally, many of these patients are kept on prolonged bed rest in order to maintain adequate cerebral blood flow, ...
