Using Negative Control Populations to Assess Unmeasured Confounding and Direct Effects

Mats Julius Stensrud

Sometimes treatment effects are absent in a subgroup of the population. For example, penicillin has no effect on severe symptoms in individuals infected by resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and codeine has no effect on pain in individuals with certain polym ...

Dual Targeting of the Autophagic Regulatory Circuitry in Gliomas with Repurposed Drugs Elicits Cell-Lethal Autophagy and Therapeutic Benefit

Douglas Hanahan, Ksenya Shchors, Aristea Massaras

The associations of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) with reduced incidence of gliomas and elevated autophagy in glioma cells motivated investigation in mouse models of gliomagenesis. First, we established that imipramine, a TCA, increased autophagy and co ...

Deletion of CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1 Induces Pathological Aggression, Depression-Related Behaviors, and Neuroplasticity Genes Dysregulation in Mice

Jean-René Cardinaux, Christophe Mérinat

Background: Mood disorders are polygenic disorders in which the alteration of several susceptibility genes results in dysfunctional mood regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their transcriptional dysregulation are still unclear. The tra ...

Poutres MilliNewton – tests de collage de billes

Thomas Maeder, Nathalie Sophie Adeline Serra

Le but du présent travail était la qualification du collage, en remplacement du brasage, des billes de centrage de force sur les poutres MilliNewton, ce qui a le potentiel d'en simplifier et fiabiliser la production. Les billes ont été collées (même sérigr ...

Dynamics of the 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in living cells

Emmanuel Guignet

The 5-HT3 serotonin receptor belongs to the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) family. It is located in the central and peripheral nervous system and is implicated in certain pathologic situations. The 5-HT3 receptor is investigated here, as a typica ...

Characterization of a mouse serotonin 5-HT3 receptor purified from mammalian cells

Horst Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Alain Bernard

A serotonin 5-HT3 receptor was functionally expressed to high levels and on a large scale in mammalian cells with the Semliki Forest virus system. Conditions were optimized to maximize detergent solubilization of the receptor, while preserving ligand bindi ...
