Cross-anatomical single-cell definition and characterization of human adipose progenitor niche
Adipose tissue is a key metabolic and highly-dynamic organ whose dysregulation may cause clinical conditions of concern such as obesity and lipodystrophy. Its function varies based on the anatomy, in fact, visceral adipose tissue expansion carries a greate ...
EPFL2023The role of nicotinamide riboside metabolism in pancreatic beta cells
Pancreatic beta cells play a major role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels. A gradual deterioration of functional beta cell mass and the chronic elevation of blood glucose levels are c ...
EPFL2022The Hippo pathway controls myofibril assembly and muscle fiber growth by regulating sarcomeric gene expression
Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern
Skeletal muscles are composed of gigantic cells called muscle fibers, packed with force-producing myofibrils. During development, the size of individual muscle fibers must dramatically enlarge to match with skeletal growth. How muscle growth is coordinated ...
ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD2021The ULK1/2 and AMPK Inhibitor SBI-0206965 Blocks AICAR and Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport
The small molecule kinase inhibitor SBI-0206965 was originally described as a specific inhibitor of ULK1/2. More recently, it was reported to effectively inhibit AMPK and several studies now report its use as an AMPK inhibitor. Currently, we investigated t ...
2020Targeting Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake with the Natural Flavonol Kaempferol, to Promote Metabolism/Secretion Coupling in Pancreatic beta-cells
Umberto De Marchi, Guillaume Jacot
Pancreatic beta-cells secrete insulin to lower blood glucose, following a meal. Maintenance of beta-cell function is essential to preventing type 2 diabetes. In pancreatic beta-cells, mitochondrial matrix calcium is an activating signal for insulin secreti ...
2020Sorbitol Demineralization by Ion Exchange
Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly known as D-glucitol. It is synthesized from glucose by a reduction reaction altering the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. The body slowly metabolizes sorbitol, minimizing the possibility of increasing the insulin lev ...
Springer Nature2019Role of metabolism and mitochondria during glucose sensing and glucose-induced dysfunction in human pancreatic beta-cells
Glucose sensing and regulation of insulin secretion are the two main functions performed by the pancreatic beta-cell. Together these processes contribute to the tight control of blood glucose in our body. Compromising the ability of the beta-cells to prope ...
EPFL2019Encapsulation of Insulin-Secreting Cells Expressing a Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Calcium Indicator for Cell-Based Sensing In Vivo
Andreas Wiederkehr, Umberto De Marchi, Nicolas Bouche, Christophe Boss, Federico Sizzano, Mouna Conrad
The development of cell-based biosensors that give insight into cell and tissue function in vivo is an attractive technology for biomedical research. Here, the development of a cell line expressing a fluorescent calcium sensor for the study of beta-cell fu ...
Wiley2017Complex event recognition through wearable sensors
Complex events are instrumental in understanding advanced behaviours and properties of a system. They can represent more meaningful events as compared to simple events. In this thesis we propose to use wearable sensor signals to detect complex events. Thes ...
EPFL2017Semantic representation and processing of hypoglycemic events derived from wearable sensor data
Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier
Diabetes Type 1 is a metabolic disease which results in a lack of insulin production, causing high glucose levels in the blood. It is crucial for diabetic patients to balance this glucose level, and they depend on external substances to do so. In order to ...
