Molecular structure and function of myelin protein P0 in membrane stacking

Compact myelin forms the basis of nerve insulation essential for higher vertebrates. Dozens of myelin membrane bilayers undergo tight stacking, and in the peripheral nervous system, this is partially enabled by myelin protein zero (P0). Consisting of an im ...

Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats

Stéphane Joost, Pierre Taberlet

The evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome-enabled. Before becoming established worldwide, sheep and goats were domesticated in the ...

Optical cuff for optogenetic control of the peripheral nervous system

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Léonie Asboth, Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud, Loïc Sottas

Objective. Nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) contain axons with specific motor, somatosensory and autonomic functions. Optogenetics offers an efficient approach to selectively activate axons within the nerve. However, the heterogeneous nature o ...

Designing sensory feedback approaches for restoring touch and position feedback in upper limb amputees

Edoardo D'Anna

Upper limb amputation disrupts most daily activities and reduces the quality of life of affected individuals. Building a suitable prosthetic limb, which can restore at least some of the lost capabilities, is a goal which has been pursued for centuries. In ...
