A new elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem
Let denote the number of prime factors of . We show that for any bounded one has [ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n)+1)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n))+\mathrm{o}_{N\to\infty}(1). ] This yields a ...
2021Bile Acids Signal via TGR5 to Activate Intestinal Stem Cells and Epithelial Regeneration
Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Giovanni Sorrentino, Ece Yildiz, Gaby El Alam
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Renewal and patterning of the intestinal epithelium is coordinated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs); dietary and metabolic factors provide signals to the niche that control ISC activity. Bile acids (BAs), metabolites in the gut, signal nu ...
2020Classification of Healthy and Cancer States of Colon Epithelial Tissues Using Opto-magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy
Marko Baros, Ivan Dimitrijevic
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) as a major health problem in industrialized countries is highly preventable and can be successfully treated in the early stages. However, incidence and mortality of CRC has increased over the last two decades. The reason could be ...
2019Role of Bcl9 and Bcl9l in Homeostasis, Regeneration and Tumorigenesis of the Gastrointestinal Epithelium
Wnt signaling is essential for embryogenesis and adult tissue homeostasis and contributes to cancer development, especially in the colon. A new essential pathway component, legless, was identified in Drosophila melanogaster. Mice with Cre/loxP-mediated con ...
EPFL2011Direct electric stimulation using a battery-operated device for induction and modulation of colonic contractions in pigs
Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter, Pavel Kucera, Mattia Bertschi
Direct electrical stimulation of the colon offers a promising approach for the induction of propulsive colonic contractions by using an implantable device. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility to induce colonic contractions using a com ...
Springer Verlag2010GDNF secreting human neural progenitor cells protect dying motor neurons, but not their projection to muscle, in a rat model of familial ALS
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by rapid loss of muscle control and eventual paralysis due to the death of large motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Growth factors such ...
Public Library of Science2007Liver receptor homolog 1 contributes to intestinal tumor formation through effects on cell cycle and inflammation
Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans
Liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that synergizes with beta-catenin/T cell factor 4 signaling to stimulate intestinal crypt cell renewal. We evaluated here the impact of haploinsufficiency of LRH-1 on intestinal tumorigenesis b ...
