Modified Trans-synaptic Tracing Viruses Reveal Novel Connectivity in the Rat Olfactory Bulb

Olfaction and the olfactory pathway is a good system to study sensory processing in general, mainly because of the simplified organization of the cells constituting the olfactory bulb, the anatomical structure responsible for early odor encoding and proces ...

Characterization and Targeting of Forkhead Box K2 (FOXK2)

Forkhead/winged-helix transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved and found in organisms as diverse as yeast and humans. They regulate a broad spectrum of events during embryonic and post natal development, including cell cycle regulation, survival, ...

Fast Non-Rigid Surface Detection, Registration and Realistic Augmentation

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Julien Pilet

We present a real-time method for detecting deformable surfaces, with no need whatsoever for a priori pose knowledge. Our method starts from a set of wide baseline point matches between an undeformed image of the object and the image in which it is to be d ...

The Banff challenge: Statistical detection of a noisy signal

Anthony Christopher Davison

Particle physics experiments such as those run in the Large Hadron Collider result in huge quantities of data, which are boiled down to a few numbers from which it is hoped that a signal will be detected. We discuss a simple probability model for this and ...

Notch Inhibits Osteoblast Differentiation And Causes Osteopenia

Freddy Radtke

Notch receptors are determinants of cell fate decisions. To define the role of Notch in the adult skeleton, we created transgenic mice overexpressing the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) under the control of the type I collagen promoter. First generation ...

Fabrication of a Millinewton Force Sensor Using Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) Technology

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Hansu Birol, Ingo Nadzeyka

This study is aimed at outlining the fabrication of a novel piezoresistive force sensor using LTCC technology, which operates at millinewton range, yet is compatible with low cost thick-film fabrication process. Mechanical and electrical characterization o ...

Cutaneous melanoma in genetically modified animals

Friedrich Beermann

Cutaneous melanomas are tumors originating from skin melanocytes which are present in hair follicles, and interfollicular epidermal and dermal layers. Experimental work in model systems involves in silico, in vitro and in vivo analyses. Such models allow t ...

Lentiviral vector-mediated genetic modification of human neural progenitor cells for ex vivo gene therapy

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Romain Zufferey

Human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) hold great potential as an ex vivo system for delivery of therapeutic proteins to the central nervous system. When cultured as aggregates, termed neurospheres, hNPC are capable of significant in vitro expansion. In the ...

A Promising Technique to Increase Metal Concentration and Extraction in Sunflowers

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

Since most of the metal-hyperaccumulating wild plants only produce very low biomass and many high-yielding crops accumulate only moderate amounts of metals, the current research is mainly focused on overcoming these limitations and the optimization of meta ...

Detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence: Results in patients with H&N cancer

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Tanja Gabrecht, Blaise Lovisa

Head and neck (H&N) cancer patients have a high incidence of second primary tumors in the tracheobronchial tree. Diagnostic autofluorescence endoscopy (DAFE) has shown promising results in the detection of early neoplastic and pre-neoplastic changes in the ...
