Mitocellular communication: Shaping health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Throughout the animal kingdom, mitochondria are the only organelles that retain their own genome and the transcription and translation machineries that are all essential for energy harvesting. Mitochondria have developed a complex communication network, al ...

Microfluidics as an Enabling Technology for Personalized Cancer Therapy

Christoph Merten

Tailoring patient‐specific treatments for cancer is necessary in order to achieve optimal results but requires new diagnostic approaches at affordable prices. Microfluidics has immense potential to provide solutions for this, as it enables the processing o ...

DNA-segment-capture model for loop extrusion by structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) protein complexes

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci

Cells possess remarkable control of the folding and entanglement topology of long and flexible chromosomal DNA molecules. It is thought that structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) protein complexes play a crucial role in this, by organizing long DNAs i ...

Circadian clock- and feeding-dependent regulation of translation initiation and elongation in the liver

Cédric Gobet

Circadian rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and adapt to periodic environmental changes related to the day-night cycle. These rhythms originate from a genetic network ticking in almost every cell of our body and the coordination between different organ ...

Erythrocyte's aging in microgravity highlights how environmental stimuli shape metabolism and morphology

Giovanni Dietler, Giovanni Longo

The determination of the function of cells in zero-gravity conditions is a subject of interest in many different research fields. Due to their metabolic unicity, the characterization of the behaviour of erythrocytes maintained in prolonged microgravity con ...

Short-lived AUF1 p42-binding mRNAs of RANKL and BCL6 have two distinct instability elements each

Lukas Kühn, Giovanna Ambrosini, Barbara Grisoni-Neupert, Philipp Bucher, Ramona Pauchard-Batschulat, Otto Hagenbüchle

Regulation of mRNA stability by RNA-protein interactions contributes significantly to quantitative aspects of gene expression. We have identified potential mRNA targets of the AU-rich element binding protein AUF1. Myc-tagged AUF1 p42 was induced in mouse N ...

Chaperones convert the energy from ATP into the nonequilibrium stabilization of native proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Alberto Stefano Sassi

During and after protein translation, molecular chaperones require ATP hydrolysis to favor the native folding of their substrates and, under stress, to avoid aggregation and revert misfolding. Why do some chaperones need ATP, and what are the consequences ...

Three branches to rule them all? UPR signalling in response to chemically versus misfolded proteins-induced ER stress

Maurizio Molinari

Study of the unfolded protein responses (UPR) is mainly addressed by challenging eukaryotic cells with chemical compounds that impair calcium, redox or glycan homeostasis. These dramatically alter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) environment and function, bu ...

Ribosome profiling and dynamic regulation of translation in mammals

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet

Protein synthesis is an energy-demanding cellular process. Consequently, a well-timed, fine-tuned and plastic regulation of translation is needed to adjust and maintain cell states under dynamically changing environments. Genome-wide monitoring of translat ...

Computational methods and modeling of cellular function for the optimization of protein production and the study of cellular disease states

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira

Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...
