Wnt Signaling in Pancreas Development and Cancer

During early somite stages of development, the broad endoderm-derived foregut and hindgut territories become further subdivided along the antero-posterior axis into organs. One of these organs is the pancreas which serves two major physiological functions: ...

Cancer marker detection in human serum with a point-of-care low-cost system

Sandro Carrara, Luca Benini

Chemiluminescence, i.e. the emission of light from a chemical reaction, offers interesting opportunities for developing point-of-care biosensors. However, commercially available systems are expensive, bulky, and primarily addressed to laboratory usage. The ...

Role of Neurogenin3 in migration of pancreatic endocrine cells during development

Mathieu Gouzi

The pancreas is one of the major organs of the digestive tract. Its endocrine function, mainly regulating glucose blood level, is achieved by endocrine cells. These cells are organized in clusters, the so-called islets of Langerhans. During development, th ...

Design of a CNFET Array for Sensing and Control in P450 based Biochips for multiple drug detection

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Shashi Kanth Bobba

Bio-detection specially dedicated to distributed diagnostics is emerging as a quite important application for Nanobioelectronics. Bio-detection is required to be highly sensitive in order to succeed in sensing small amount of bio-markers in patient’s blood ...

Viscosimetric biosensor for monitoring analyte levels

Jean-Michel Sallese, Eric Meurville

The invention relates to a viscosimetric sensor for monitoring an analyte level in a patient or in body fluids ex vivo. In particular, the invention relates to a sensor for monitoring analytes, such as glucose levels in a patient. The sensor comprises at l ...

Steady-state brain glucose transport kinetics re-evaluated with a four-state conformational model

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Glucose supply from blood to brain occurs through facilitative transporter proteins. A near linear relation between brain and plasma glucose has been experimentally determined and described by a reversible model of enzyme kinetics. A conformational four-st ...

Caffeine consumption attenuates neurochemical modifications in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Type 1 diabetes can affect hippocampal function triggering cognitive impairment through unknown mechanisms. Caffeine consumption prevents hippocampal degeneration and memory dysfunction upon different insults and is also known to affect peripheral glucose ...

Molecular selective interface for an implantable glucose sensor based on the viscosity variation of a sensitive fluid containing dextran and Concanavalin A

Antoine Barraud

Diabetes mellitus is a globally growing disease with more than 180 million cases worldwide and no cure exists. In order to minimize the many medical complications, tight glucose monitoring has been shown to be the best alternative. Many diabetics require i ...

The rate-limiting step for glucose transport into the hypothalamus is across the blood–hypothalamus interface

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Specialized glucosensing neurons are present in the hypothalamus, some of which neighbor the median eminence, where the blood–brain barrier has been reported leaky. A leaky blood–brain barrier implies high tissue glucose levels and obviates a role for endo ...
