New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys.
Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...
EPFL2023Metabolism of the symbiotic jellyfish Cassiopea in a changing environment
Ocean warming and other anthropogenic impacts have led to a global decline in many photosymbiotic cnidarians, most notably reef-building corals. But some species of the symbiotic and (sub-)tropical upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea are increasingly reported ...
EPFL2023Tuning SAS-6 architecture with monobodies impairs distinct steps of centriole assembly
Georg Fantner, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez, Oliver Hantschel, Virginie Hamel, Niccolo Banterle, Santiago Harald Andany
Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved multi-protein organelles essential for forming cilia and centrosomes. Centriole biogenesis begins with self-assembly of SAS-6 proteins into 9-fold symmetrical ring polymers, which then stack into a cartwheel that sca ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021Automated Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow and Motile Cilia Properties in The Central Canal of Zebrafish Embryos
François Gallaire, Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser
Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays an important role during development. In zebrafish embryo, the flow of CSF has been found to be bidirectional in the central canal of the spinal cord. In order to compare conditions and genetic mutants across ...
BIO-PROTOCOL2021A helical inner scaffold provides a structural basis for centriole cohesion
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Davide Gambarotto, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel
The ninefold radial arrangement of microtubule triplets (MTTs) is the hallmark of the centriole, a conserved organelle crucial for the formation of centrosomes and cilia. Although strong cohesion between MTTs is critical to resist forces applied by ciliary ...
2020Early Urinary Biomarkers in Pediatric Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): No Evidence in the Interest of Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL)
Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is increasingly diagnosed during childhood by the presence of renal cysts in patients with a positive familial history. No curative treatment is available and early detection and diagnosis co ...
