Steady-state brain glucose transport kinetics re-evaluated with a four-state conformational model

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Glucose supply from blood to brain occurs through facilitative transporter proteins. A near linear relation between brain and plasma glucose has been experimentally determined and described by a reversible model of enzyme kinetics. A conformational four-st ...

Novel chemico-mechanical approach towards long-term implantable glucose sensing

Peter Ryser, Jean-Michel Sallese, Eric Meurville, Christophe Boss

The proof of concept of a continuously sensing affinity device based on the glucose-dependent viscosity of a sensitive solution containing dextran and Concanavalin A has been successfully demonstrated. The biosensor incorporates a piezoelectric diaphragm a ...

Caffeine consumption attenuates neurochemical modifications in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Type 1 diabetes can affect hippocampal function triggering cognitive impairment through unknown mechanisms. Caffeine consumption prevents hippocampal degeneration and memory dysfunction upon different insults and is also known to affect peripheral glucose ...

Serum Bile Acids Are Higher in Humans With Prior Gastric Bypass: Potential Contribution to Improved Glucose and Lipid Metabolism

Johan Auwerx

The multifactorial mechanisms promoting weight loss and improved metabolism following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) surgery remain incompletely understood. Recent rodent studies suggest that bile acids can mediate energy homeostasis by activating the G-pro ...

Size-Selective Diffusion in Nanoporous but Flexible Membranes for Glucose Sensors

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Antoine Barraud, Nao Takano

A series of nanoporous membranes prepared from polyethylene-block-polystyrene were applied for size-selective diffusion of glucose and albumin molecules. Millimeter-sized test cells for characterization of such molecular diffusions were designed assuming a ...

Fetal cells for intervertebral disc regeneration

Aurélie Quintin

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is thought to be one main factor in the development of back pain. It is not a symptom by itself but can lead to painful pathological conditions. Current treatments aim at relieving pain by conservative care, me ...

Deciphering neuron-glia compartmentalization in cortical energy metabolism

Pierre Magistretti, Renaud Jolivet

Energy demand is an important constraint on neural signaling. Several methods have been proposed to assess the energy budget of the brain based on a bottom-up approach in which the energy demand of individual biophysical processes are first estimated indep ...

Microfluidic system based on thermoexpandable polymer for on chip blood coagulation testing

Philippe Renaud, Lynda Metref, Raphaël Goetschmann, François Bianchi

This paper describes a simple system for the actuation of a biological fluid through micro-channels with a thermoactivated polymer actuator. This system is of interest for the development of single-use diagnostic test-strips since the actuation of the samp ...
