Evaluating contrast sensitivity in early and intermediate age-related Macular Degeneration with the Quick Contrast Sensitivity Function
Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe, validate, and compare the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) acquired with the novel quick CSF (qCSF) method from patients with early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (eAMD and iAMD) a ...
2023The role of xanthophylls in the supramolecular organization of the photosynthetic complex LHCII in lipid membranes studied by high-resolution imaging and nanospectroscopy
Giovanni Dietler, Jiangtao Zhou
The xanthophyll cycle is a regulatory mechanism operating in the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. It consists of the conversion of the xanthophyll pigment violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, and vice versa, in response to light intensity. According to the curre ...
ELSEVIER2020Chromate Resistance Mechanisms in Leucobacter chromiiresistens
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat
Chromate is one of the major anthropogenic contaminants on Earth. Leucobacter chromiiresistens is a highly chromate-resistant strain, tolerating chromate concentrations in LB medium of up to 400 mM. In response to chromate stress, L. chromiiresistens forms ...
AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY2018Kleptoplasty in a shallow water benthic foraminifer, Haynesina germanica
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate kleptoplast cellular organisation, functionality (O2 flux, C and N incorporation), pigment composition and photo ...
2016Molecular Architecture of Plant Thylakoids under Physiological and Light Stress Conditions: A Study of Lipid-Light-Harvesting Complex II Model Membranes
Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik
In this study, we analyzed multibilayer lipid-protein membranes composed of the photosynthetic light-harvesting complex II (LHCII; isolated from spinach [Spinacia oleracea]) and the plant lipids monogalcatosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol. ...

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Olivier Laurent Emery
Introduction Microalgae culture to be effective as feedstock for bio-energy production needs to overcome constraining biotechnological, technological and economic factors [1]. In order to establish an economically viable process, the co-production of renew ...
2012Genotype-phenotype correlation of age-related macular degeneration: influence of complement factor H polymorphism
Background/aims: Complement factor H ( CFH) Y402H polymorphism shows a strong association with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Although the phenotypic concordance of AMD has been shown in sibling/twin studies, little is known about the genotype phe ...
2008Induction of ob gene expression by corticosteroids is accompanied by body weight loss and reduced food intake
Genetic studies in mice have identified the ob gene product as a potential signaling factor regulating body weight homeostasis and energy balance. It is suggested that modulation of ob gene expression results in changes in body weight and food intake. Gluc ...
