To understand the cause of Parkinson's disease (PD), it is important to determine the functional interactions between factors linked to the disease. Parkin is associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD, and controls the transcription of PGC-1a, a m ...

Control of Hoxd gene transcription in the mammary bud by hijacking a preexisting regulatory landscape

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany, Guillaume Andrey, Leonardo Beccari, Anamaria Necsulea, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo, Virginie Marcet

Vertebrate Hox genes encode transcription factors operating during the development of multiple organs and structures. However, the evolutionary mechanism underlying this remarkable pleiotropy remains to be fully understood. Here, we show that Hoxd8 and Hox ...

Photosensitizing and Inhibitory Effects of Ozonated Dissolved Organic Matter on Triplet-Induced Contaminant Transformation

Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is both a promoter and an inhibitor of triplet-induced organic contaminant oxidation. This dual role was systematically investigated through photochemical experiments with three types of DOM of terrestrial and aquatic origins ...

Vitamin E and Vitamin E Acetate Absorption from Self-assembly Systems under Pancreas Insufficiency Conditions

Martin Kussmann

We determined the bioavailability of vitamin E from self-assembly structures in patients with diagnosed chronic pancreas insufficiency. Vitamin E solubilized in dispersed inverted bicontinuous cubic phase and in micellar formulation was delivered directly ...

3D niche microarrays for systems-level analyses of cell fate

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Samy Gobaa, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Andrea Negro, Yuya Okawa

The behaviour of mammalian cells in a tissue is governed by the three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment and involves a dynamic interplay between biochemical and mechanical signals provided by the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell–cell interactions and solub ...

An Oral Formulation of Angiotensin-(1-7) Reverses Corpus Cavernosum Damages Induced by Hypercholesterolemia

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Introduction The renin angiotensin system plays a crucial role in erectile function. It has been shown that elevated angiotensin-II levels contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Oppositely, angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) mediates penile ...
