Differential role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency in acute and chronic kidney disease

Johan Auwerx, Elena Katsyuba, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Joseph Rutkowski, Renuga Devi Rajaram

Background. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a ubiquitous coenzyme involved in electron transport and a cosubstrate for sirtuin function. NAD(+) deficiency has been demonstrated in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods. We studied ...

Development of a biologically inspired in-vitro platform for long-term assessment of commercial and innovative ureteral stents

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Francesco Clavica

Ureteral stents are small flexible tubes which are clinically used to restore the urine drainage in presence of obstructions of the ureteral lumen such as tumours, kidney/ureteral stones. The lifetime risk of developing urinary stones is about 20% in men a ...

Identification of the inactivating factors and mechanisms exerted on MS2 coliphage in concentrated synthetic urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey

Volume reduction (condensation) is a key for the practical usage of human urine as a fertilizer because it enables the saving of storage space and the reduction of transportation cost. However, concentrated urine may carry infectious disease risks resultin ...

Cellular forces and matrix assembly coordinate fibrous tissue repair

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Daniel Eberli

Planar in vitro models have been invaluable tools to identify the mechanical basis of wound closure. Although these models may recapitulate closure dynamics of epithelial cell sheets, they fail to capture how a wounded fibrous tissue rebuilds its 3D archit ...

LRRK2 secretion in exosomes is regulated by 14-3-3

Elpida Tsika, Darren Moore

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene cause late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Emerging evidence suggests a role for LRRK2 in the endocytic pathway. Here, we show that LRRK2 is released in extracellular microvesicles (i.e. exosomes) ...

Investigation of the Electrochemical Destruction of X-ray Contrast Media using Boron-‐Doped Diamond Electrodes (BDD)

Guillaume Tissot

Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) are persistent micropollutants in wastewater, which come mainly from hospital activities. Currently, there is no efficient method of treatment for this class of compounds, which leads to their increased presence in surf ...

Effects of carbonate on the electrolytic removal of ammonia and urea from urine with thermally prepared IrO2 electrodes

Christos Comninellis, Véronique Amstutz, Agnieszka Kapalka, Kai Udert

Recent studies have shown that electrolysis can be an efficient process for nitrogen removal from urine. These studies have been conducted with urea solutions or fresh urine, but urine collected in NoMix toilets and urinals has a substantially different co ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-beta/delta stimulates differentiation and lipid accumulation in keratinocytes

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) are nuclear hormone receptors that are activated by endogenous lipid metabolites. Previous studies have demonstrated that PPAR-alpha activation stimulates keratinocyte differentiation in vitro and in vivo, ...

The subtype 2 of angiotensin II receptors and pressure-natriuresis in adult rat kidneys

1 The present work examined the effects of the subtype 2 of angiotensin II (AT(2)) receptors on the pressure-natriuresis using a new peptide agonist, and the possible involvement of cyclic guanosine 3', 5' monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in these effects. 2 In ...

Gene duplication of zebrafish JAK2 homologs is accompanied by divergent embryonic expression patterns: Only jak2a is expressed during erythropoiesis

Andrew Charles Oates

Members of the JAK family of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) proteins are required for the transmission of signals from a variety of cell surface receptors, particularly those of the cytokine receptor family. JAK function has been implicated in hematopoiesis ...
