Redefining the metabolic landscape through TGF-beta/Activin signaling in Drosophila melanogaster

Multicellular organisms assess their nutritional state and adapt their metabolic landscape to match their energy demands. In this thesis, we address a longstanding conundrum of how an organism coordinates digestive enzyme expression in response to its nutr ...

Proteomics of Cerebrospinal Fluid: Throughput and Robustness Using a Scalable Automated Analysis Pipeline for Biomarker Discovery

Loïc Dayon, Martin Kussmann

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a body fluid of high clinical relevance and an important source of potential biomarkers for brain-associated damages, such as traumatic brain injury and stroke, and for brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herei ...

Transforming Growth Factor beta/Activin Signaling Functions as a Sugar-Sensing Feedback Loop to Regulate Digestive Enzyme Expression

Bruno Lemaitre, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Wen Bin Chng

Organisms need to assess their nutritional state and adapt their digestive capacity to the demands for various nutrients. Modulation of digestive enzyme production represents a rational step to regulate nutriment uptake. However, the role of digestion in n ...

Minimally Invasive Photopolymerization In Intervertebral Disc Tissue Cavities

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerized hydrogels are commonly used for a broad range of biomedical applications. As long as the polymer volume is accessible, gels can easily be hardened using light illumination. However, in clinics, especially for minimally invasive surgery, it ...

In Vitro Pancreas Organogenesis from Dispersed Mouse Embryonic Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

The pancreas is an essential organ that regulates glucose homeostasis and secretes digestive enzymes. Research on pancreas embryogenesis has led to the development of protocols to produce pancreatic cells from stem cells. The whole embryonic organ can be c ...

Proteins/peptides purification by a three-well OFFGEL electrophoresis with immobilized ultra narrow pH gradient gels

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Elena Tobolkina

Purification and desalting of protein and peptide samples by a three-well OFFGEL electrophoresis with immobilized ultra narrow pH gradient gels is proposed as a fast preparative strategy for proteomics. The gist of this strategy is to separate the proteins ...

The Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre

The digestive tract plays a central role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Far from being a passive tube, it provides the first line of defense against pathogens and maintains energy homeostasis by exchanging neuronal and endocrine signals with ...
