Modulation of Subcellular Redox Homeostasis with Trialkylphosphines

Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio ...

NAD(+) Precursors: A Questionable Redundancy

Carlos Canto Alvarez

The last decade has seen a strong proliferation of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases based on increasing cellular NAD(+) bioavailability. Among them, the dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors-classicall ...

Carbon nanotube uptake in cyanobacteria for near-infrared imaging and enhanced bioelectricity generation in living photovoltaics

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Mohammed Mouhib, Charlotte Elisabeth Marie Roullier, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Nils Schürgers

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique optoelectronic properties that make them suitable for applications ranging from phototherapy to imaging and sensing, but their uptake has mainly been explored in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors explore ...

Structures 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 ...

Predicting the impact of climate change on the glacier-fed streams microbiome

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Andrew Lean Robison, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Glacier shrinkage is among the most conspicuous impacts of climate change with numerous effects on downstream ecosystems. Lying at the glacier forefront, glacier-fed streams represent important headwaters in high-mountain regions across the world. Owing to ...

Robotic manipulation to investigate the physical principles of biological self-organization

Fazil Emre Uslu

Self-organization is the spontaneous formation of ordered patterns and networks from a population of comparatively simple elements or individuals with no prior information on neither the formation process nor the final organization. While the construction ...

Regulation of sedimentation rate shapes the evolution of multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of animals

Omaya Pierre Dudin

Significant increases in sedimentation rate accompany the evolution of multicellularity. These increases should lead to rapid changes in ecological distribution, thereby affecting the costs and benefits of multicellularity and its likelihood to evolve. How ...

Engineering synthetic adhesins for biophysical investigation and rewiring of host-microbe interactions

Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat

Host attachment is often a critical step in the onset of pathogenesis. To attach to host cells, bacteria have evolved a range of adhesins that bind to specific receptors. Some of these adhesins have been thoroughly characterized using biochemical technique ...

Leveraging species distribution models to predict the impact of climate change on glacier-fed stream biofilms

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Andrew Lean Robison, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Owing to climate changes, glaciers and ice sheets are rapidly shrinking worldwide, altering the geophysical properties of many ecosystems. In this context, glacier-fed streams are expected to undergo major physical and chemical modifications in the future. ...
