Multiparametric Characterization and Spatial Distribution of Different MS Lesion Phenotypes
Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MS lesions exhibit varying degrees of axonal and myelin damage. A comprehensive description of lesion phenotypes could contribute to an improved radiologic evaluation of smoldering inflammation and remyelination processes. This stud ...
Amer Soc Neuroradiology2024CSF-contacting neurons respond to Streptococcus pneumoniae and promote host survival during central nervous system infection
Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser, Laura Desban
The pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) can invade the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cause meningitis with devastating consequences. Whether and how sensory cells in the central nervous system (CNS) become activated during bacteri ...
CELL PRESS2023Tracking the cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues with correlated electron microscopy and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging
Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen
Extracellular bacterial symbionts communicate biochemically with their hosts to establish niches that foster the partnership. Using quantitative ion microprobe isotopic imaging (nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry [NanoSIMS]), we surveyed localizatio ...
WILEY2020Multimodal microstructure imaging: joint T2-relaxometry and diffusometry to estimate myelin, intracellular, extracellular, and cerebrospinal fluid properties
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Alessandro Daducci
We propose a multimodal joint estimation that aims at exploiting the complementary information of diffusion and multi-echo spin echo data to disentangle the contributions and properties of the main tissue microstructure compartments. We recovered T2, diffu ...
ISMRM2018Overcoming the resolution limit in retinal imaging using the scattering properties of the sclera
Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Dino Carpentras
In-vivo imaging of the eye's fundus is widely used to study eye's health. State of the art Adaptive Optics devices can resolve features up to a lateral resolution of 1.5 um. This resolution is still above what is needed to observe subcellular structures su ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2016Multiciliogenesis: multicilin directs transcriptional activation of centriole formation
Pierre Gönczy, Fernando Romero Balestra
During differentiation of multiciliated cells, numerous centrioles are generated in each cell to act as templates for the formation of a corresponding number of cilia. A new study reveals that multicilin, a protein required for multiciliogenesis, is a key ...
Cell Press2014Deletion of glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (Glud1) in the central nervous system affects glutamate handling without altering synaptic transmission
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), encoded by GLUD1, participates in the breakdown and synthesis of glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter. In the CNS, besides its primary signaling function, glutamate is also at the crossroad of metabolic and neurotr ...
Wiley-Blackwell2012A coupled hydrodynamic model of the cardiovascular and cerebrospinal fluid system

Martin BA, Reymond P, Novy J, Baledent O, Stergiopulos N. A coupled hydrodynamic model of the cardiovascular and cerebrospinal fluid system. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 302: H1492-H1509, 2012. First published January 20, 2012; doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.006 ...
2012Calculation of intracranial pressure in human brain using Darcy's and Biot's models
Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...
Taylor & Francis2011Bio Simulation of Brain Ventricle Dilation in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...
