The gut microbiota influences skeletal muscle mass and function in mice

Johan Auwerx, Hongbo Zhang, Walter Wahli

The functional interactions between the gut microbiota and the host are important for host physiology, homeostasis, and sustained health. We compared the skeletal muscle of germ-free mice that lacked a gut microbiota to the skeletal muscle of pathogen-free ...

AAV based gene therapy for rare diseases

Cylia Cloé Rochat

Of the seven thousand diseases that are described as rare, 80% of them have an identified genetic cause. With this in the mind, the development of technologies, such as gene therapy, to address the genetic factors involved in these pathologies, might be a ...

Exploring the potency of normal and pathological human thymic epithelial cells

Tiphaine Mélodie Chantal Arlabosse

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are organised in a unique 3D network that is critical for the development of efficient and self-tolerant T-cells. We report for the first time that the human thymus of all ages, even old and involuted, contains a significant ...

Enhanced electromechanical response of ferroelectrics due to charged domain walls

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Dragan Damjanovic, Tomas Sluka, Maxim Gureev

While commonly used piezoelectric materials contain lead, non-hazardous, high-performance piezoelectrics are yet to be discovered. Charged domain walls in ferroelectrics are considered inactive with regards to the piezoelectric response and, therefore, are ...

Macroscopic Theory of Charged Domain Walls in Ferroelectrics

Maxim Gureev

This thesis consists of a theoretical analysis of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics based on Landau theory and the theory of semiconductors. First, the internal structure of a 180-degree charged domain wall is considered. It is shown that different re ...

Acetylcholine Receptor Organization in Membrane Domains in Muscle Cells: EVIDENCE FOR RAPSYN-INDEPENDENT AND RAPSYN-DEPENDENT MECHANISMS

Horst Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Jean-Manuel Segura, Joachim Piguet, Christoph Schreiter

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in muscle fibers are densely packed in the postsynaptic region at the neuromuscular junction. Rapsyn plays a central role in directing and clustering nAChR during cellular differentiation and neuromuscular junction ...

Collapsin response médiator protein 4a(CRMP 4a) is upregulated in motoneurons of mutant SOD1 mice and can trigger motoneuron death

Patrick Aebischer, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

Embryonic motoneurons from mutant SOD1 (mSOD1) mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but not wild-type motoneurons, can be triggered to die by exposure to nitric oxide (NO), leading to activation of a motoneuron-specific signaling pathway do ...

Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics

Joachim Piguet

Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotin ...

GDNF secreting human neural progenitor cells protect dying motor neurons, but not their projection to muscle, in a rat model of familial ALS

Patrick Aebischer

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 ...
