Plant sterols and cholesterol metabolism are associated with five-year cognitive decline in the elderly population

Dysregulations in cholesterol metabolism are associated with neurodegenerative and vascular pathologies, and dementia. Diet-derived plant sterols (phytosterols) have cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and may interfere with ...

Genetic selection for low glucocorticoid responsiveness recapitulates PTSD-related phenotypes: a behavioral, neuroimaging and sleep-physiology study

Silvia Monari

Humans show inter-individual differences in vulnerability to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following exposure to trauma. Several critical biobehavioral features have been consistently described in PTSD patients, including blunted cortisol l ...

New approaches to uncover the minimally functional hematopoietic niche using the adipocytic differentiation axis: pharmacological modulation and adrenal niche induction

Frédérica Schyrr

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) reside in their niche, a structure that regulates the balance of cellular quiescence, self-renewal and commitment towards differentiated cells. This highly plastic niche is formed by several cellular players, ...

Programming effects of peripubertal stress on spatial learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Cristina Marquez Vega

Exposure to adversity during early life can have profound influences on brain function and behavior later in life. The peripubertal period is emerging as an important time-window of susceptibility to stress, with substantial evidence documenting long-term ...

Increased brain glucocorticoid actions following social defeat in rats facilitates the long-term establishment of social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Meltem Weger

Social rank is frequently established through aggressive encounters between new conspecifics. Despite increasing evidence suggesting that social rank is critical for the well-being of both humans and animals, knowledge about the factors influencing social ...

An Ex vivo Model to Study Hormone Action in the Human Breast

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos

The study of hormone action in the human breast has been hampered by lack of adequate model systems. Upon in vitro culture, primary mammary epithelial cells tend to lose hormone receptor expression. Widely used hormone receptor positive breast cancer cell ...

Intra- and interspecific social challenges modulate the levels of an androgen precursor in a seasonally territorial tropical damselfish

Katarina Damjanovic

Studies on different vertebrate groups have provided evidence that androgen levels in males increase after competitive social interactions during the breeding season, as postulated by the Challenge Hypothesis. However, social modulation of androgen levels ...

Quantitative Analysis and Modeling Probe Polarity Establishment in C. elegans Embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Felix Naef, Coralie Busso, Simon Blanchoud

Cell polarity underlies many aspects of metazoan development and homeostasis, and relies notably on a set of PAR proteins located at the cell cortex. How these proteins interact in space and time remains incompletely understood. We performed a quantitative ...

Increased corticosterone in peripubertal rats leads to long-lasting alterations in social exploration and aggression

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Vandana Veenit

Stress during childhood and adolescence enhances the risk of psychopathology later in life. We have previously shown that subjecting male rats to stress during the peripubertal period induces long-lasting effects on emotion and social behaviors. As cortico ...

Role of the HPA axis in the long-term programming of social behaviors by peripuberty stress

Vandana Veenit

Stress during childhood and adolescence enhances the risk of psychopathology later in life. In fact, exposure to stress during this period is known to predispose individuals to the development of psychopathologies such as depression and anxiety disorders l ...
