Primary data for EPFL thesis "Characterisation of conditional alleles of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cytokinesis regulator byr4"
Regulation of cytokinesis is essential for the cell during its division cycle. Failure to do so can lead to aneuploidy, which can be fatal and lead to senescence or cancer. A useful model organism for studying cytokinesis in eukaryotes is Schizosaccharomyc ...

EPFL2023Engineering Agrobacterium tumefaciens Adhesion to Target Cells
Alexandre Louis André Persat, Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat, Jeremy Pak Hei Wong, Alix Kim Lan Pham
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen commonly repurposed for genetic modification of crops. Despite its versatility, it remains inefficient at transferring DNA to many hosts, including to animal cells. Like many pathogens, physical contact between ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Intrinsically High Capacity of Animal Cells From a Symbiotic Cnidarian to Deal With Pro-Oxidative Conditions
The cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis is a mutualistic intracellular association based on the photosynthetic activity of the endosymbiont. This relationship involves significant constraints and requires co-evolution processes, such as an extensive capacit ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Structures of SAS-6 coiled coil hold implications for the polarity of the centriolar cartwheel
Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos
Centrioles are eukaryotic organelles that template the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as organize the microtubule network and the mitotic spindle in animal cells. Centrioles have proximal-distal polarity and a 9 fold radial symmetry imparted by a ...
CELL PRESS2022Trait-specific dispersal of bacteria in heterogeneous porous environments: from pore to porous medium scale
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Filippo Miele, David Scheidweiler
The dispersal of organisms controls the structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scales is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environment ...
2020Blind killing of both male and female Drosophila embryos by a natural variant of the endosymbiotic bacterium Spiroplasma poulsonii
Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Florent François Masson, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez
Spiroplasma poulsonii is a vertically transmitted endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster that causes male-killing, that is the death of infected male embryos during embryogenesis. Here, we report a natural variant of S. poulsonii that is efficiently verti ...
WILEY2020Microbial life in porous systems
Microbial life in porous systems dominates the functioning of numerous ecosystems, ranging from stream sediments to soils. While these environments are characterized by structures that vary spatially over orders of magnitude, the traditional research focus ...
EPFL2019Sexual conflict drives male manipulation of female postmating responses in Drosophila melanogaster
Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis
In many animals, females respond to mating with changes in physiology and behavior that are triggered by molecules transferred by males during mating. In Drosophila melanogaster, proteins in the seminal fluid are responsible for important female postmating ...
PNAS2019Gender medicine and oncology: report and consensus of an ESMO workshop
Background: The importance of sex and gender as modulators of disease biology and treatment outcomes is well known in other disciplines of medicine, such as cardiology, but remains an undervalued issue in oncology. Considering the increasing evidence for t ...
