Bioavailability of steroid hormones sorbed on microplastics for aquatic organisms through biological fluids

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu

Many studies have reported that hydrophobic organic contaminants have the ability to sorb on microplastics in aquatic ecosystem via different mechanisms of sorption. However, a lack of studies investigating desorption of such contaminants in organism fluid ...

Refinements of hybrid neurophysical volume conductor models and application to study epidural electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord

Nathan Antoine Greiner

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the communication between the brain and spinal neural circuits below the lesion is disrupted, leading to paralysis. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbosacral spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion an ...

C/EBP alpha mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide approaches to show that proges ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

From ‘Omics to Otoliths: Responses of an Estuarine Fish to Endocrine Disrupting Compounds across Biological Scales

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) cause physiological abnormalities and population decline in fishes. However, few studies have linked environmental EDC exposures with responses at multiple tiers of the biological hierarchy, including population-level ...

Monitoring of illicit pill distribution networks using an image collection exploration framework

Luc Patiny, Julien Wist

This paper proposes a novel approach for the analysis of illicit tablets based on their visual characteristics. In particular, the paper concentrates on the problem of ecstasy pill seizure profiling and monitoring. The presented method extracts the visual ...

Influence of temperature and high acetate concentrations on methanogenensis in lake sediment slurries

Christof Holliger, Bernhard Wehrli

Methanogenesis from main methane precursors H2/CO2 and acetate was investigated in a temperature range of 2–70 °C using sediments from Lake Baldegg, Switzerland. Psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, mesophilic, and thermophilic methanogenic microbial communities ...

New conjugate of agonist ligand directed to ligand-gated ion channels of cysteine loop-family with chromophore, useful, e.g. in receptor proteins/their interaction with agonistic ligand and to study the effect of unlabelled ligands

Horst Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Jörg Grandl

NOVELTY - Conjugate (I) of an agonist ligand directed to ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) of the Cys loop-family with a chromophore, is new. USE - (I) is useful in the receptor proteins and/or their interaction with the agonistic ligand, where the interac ...

CYP3A activity measured by the midazolam test is not related to 3435 C >T polymorphism in the multiple drug resistance transporter gene

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Thierry Buclin

A recent study with 69 Japanese liver transplants treated with tacrolimus found that the MDR13435 C >T polymorphism, but not the MDR12677 G >T polymorphism, was associated with differences in the intestinal expression level of CYP3A4 mRNA. In the present s ...
