Neural Annotation Refinement: Development of a New 3D Dataset for Adrenal Gland Analysis

Pascal Fua, Jiancheng Yang, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe, Rui Shi

The human annotations are imperfect, especially when produced by junior practitioners. Multi-expert consensus is usually regarded as golden standard, while this annotation protocol is too expensive to implement in many real-world projects. In this study, w ...

New approaches to uncover the minimally functional hematopoietic niche using the adipocytic differentiation axis: pharmacological modulation and adrenal niche induction

Frédérica Schyrr

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) reside in their niche, a structure that regulates the balance of cellular quiescence, self-renewal and commitment towards differentiated cells. This highly plastic niche is formed by several cellular players, ...

Extended gate field-effect-transistor for sensing cortisol stress hormone

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Junrui Zhang, Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei, Hoël Maxime Guérin, Luca Capua, Shokoofeh Sheibani, Sayedeh Shirin Afyouni Akbari

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and is a major glucocorticoid produced by adrenal glands. Here, we report a wearable sensory electronic chip using label-free detection, based on a platinum/graphene aptamer extended gate field effect tr ...

The effects of extrinsic stress on somatic markers and behavior are dependent on animal housing conditions

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Guillaume Poirier, Michael van der Kooij, Damien Sébastien Huzard

Properties of the environment play an important role in animal wellbeing and may modulate the effects of external threats. Whereas stressors can affect emotion and impair cognition, environmental enrichment may prevent the occurrence of such negative seque ...

Intestinal steroidogenesis controls PPAR expression in the colon and is impaired during ulcerative colitis

Johan Auwerx

Background and aims Immune tolerance breakdown during UC involves the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR), a key factor in mucosal homoeostasis and the therapeutic target of 5-aminosalycilates, which expression is impaired during UC. Here we ...

Monitoring the Cellular Cholesterol Distribution via nanoSIMS Imaging

Mustafa Demir

Cholesterol is a very important lipid, manufactured by all animal cells for their use. About 20-25% of total daily cholesterol production occurs in the liver; other sites that have higher synthesis rate are intestine, adrenal glands and reproductive organs ...

Local glucocorticoid production in the mouse lung is induced by immune cell stimulation

Kristina Schoonjans

Background: Glucocorticoids (GC) are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive steroid hormones, mainly produced by the adrenal glands. However, increasing evidence supports the idea of additional extra-adrenal sources of bioactive GC. The lung epithe ...

In vivo imaging of farnesoid X receptor activity reveals the ileum as the primary bile acid signaling tissue

Johan Auwerx

We generated and characterized a firefly luciferase reporter mouse for the nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR). This FXR reporter mouse has basal luciferase expression in the terminal ileum, an organ with well-characterized FXRalpha signaling. In v ...

Intrathecal implants of bovine chromaffin cells alleviate mechanical allodynia in a rat model of neuropathic pain

Patrick Aebischer

Intrathecal implants of adrenal chromaffin cells are known to release analgesic substances such as catecholamines and opioid peptides. In the present study, bovine chromaffin cells were encapsulated in a permselective polymer membrane which protects the ce ...

Hepatic regeneration induces changes in lipoprotein lipase activity in several tissues and its re-expression in the liver

Johan Auwerx

We examined the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene and LPL activity following a two-thirds hepatectomy and during liver regeneration. In most of the tissues studied, LPL activity increased a few hours after partial hepatectomy, but soon returned t ...
