Extended-gate field-effect transistor with aptamer functionalisation layer for measuring hormone concentration in biofluids and corresponding fabrication method
Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Shokoofeh Sheibani
The present invention concerns a biosensor (1) for sensing stress hormone cortisol concentration in a biofluid (27). The biosensor (1) comprises: an electrical transistor transducer (3) comprising a transistor gate electrode (17); a sensing electrode eleme ...
2022Programming effects of peripubertal stress on spatial learning
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Cristina Marquez Vega
Exposure to adversity during early life can have profound influences on brain function and behavior later in life. The peripubertal period is emerging as an important time-window of susceptibility to stress, with substantial evidence documenting long-term ...
2020Big dairy data to unravel effects of environmental, physiological and morphological factors on milk production of mountain-pastured Braunvieh cows
The transhumance system, which consists in moving animals to high mountain pastures during summer, plays a considerable role in preserving both local biodiversity and traditions, as well as protecting against natural hazard. In cows, particularly, milk pro ...
ROYAL SOC2020Converting disulfide bridges in native peptides to stable methylene thioacetals
Nicolai Cramer, Christopher Matthew Bandeli Kourra
Disulfide bridges play a crucial role in defining and rigidifying the three-dimensional structure of peptides. However, disulfides are inherently unstable in reducing environments. Consequently, the development of strategies aiming to circumvent these defi ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Endocrine hormones and local signals during the development of the mouse mammary gland
Most of mammary gland development occurs postnatally under the control of female reproductive hormones, which in turn interact with other endocrine factors. While hormones impinge on many tissues and trigger very complex biological responses, tissue recomb ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Mechanisms underlying cell-fate determination in the mammary gland development
Notch signaling pathway is an important developmental pathway and has been implicated in both mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. Several studies investigating Notch signaling in mouse mammary gland implied that Notch signaling is an important fac ...
EPFL2015Impact of environmental estrogens on fish considering the diversity of estrogen signaling
Research on endocrine disruption in fish has been dominated by studies on estrogen-active compounds which act as mimics of the natural estrogen, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and generally exert their biological actions by binding to and activation of estrogen r ...
Elsevier2013NR5A2 Regulates Lhb and Fshb Transcription in Gonadotrope-Like Cells In Vitro, but Is Dispensable for Gonadotropin Synthesis and Fertility In Vivo
Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Yiping Wang, Xin Zhou, Vikas Kumar
Successful mammalian reproduction depends on proper synthesis of the pituitary-derived glycoprotein hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Several transcription factors cooperate to activate cell-specific and hormone-reg ...
Public Library of Science2013Progesterone/RANKL Is a Major Regulatory Axis in the Human Breast
Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Maryse Fiche, Tamara Tanos, Maria Gutierrez Najera
Estrogens and progesterones are major drivers of breast development but also promote carcinogenesis in this organ. Yet, their respective roles and the mechanisms underlying their action in the human breast are unclear. Receptor activator of nuclear factor ...
American Association for the Advancement of Science2013High-resolution transcriptome and genome-wide dynamics of RNA polymerase and NusA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Claudia Sala, Swapna Uplekar
To construct a regulatory map of the genome of the human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we applied two complementary high-resolution approaches: strand-specific RNA-seq, to survey the global transcriptome, and ChIP-seq, to monitor the genome-wide dy ...
