High robustness of correlation-based alignment with Penrose patterns to marker damage in electron beam lithography

Correlation-based alignment is an alternative alignment method for electron beam lithography. Using complex marker patterns, such as Penrose patterns, which contain more positional information, greater alignment accuracy can be achieved. Correlation-based ...

Chronic restraint stress induces changes in synapse morphology in stratum lacunosum-moleculare CA1 rat hippocampus: a stereological and three-dimensional ultrastructural study

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana

Chronic restraint stress is known to affect the morphology and synaptic organization of the hippocampus, predominantly within CA3 but also in CA1 and dentate gyrus. In this study, we provide the first evidence for specific ultrastructural alterations affec ...

Treatment of fulminant liver failure by transplantation of microencapsulated primary or immortalized xenogeneic hepatocytes

Didier Trono

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo function of hepatocytes after immortalization, cryopreservation, encapsulation, and xenotransplantation into mice with fulminant liver failure (FLF). METHODS: Rat and human hepatocy ...

Spatial learning impairment induced by chronic stress is related to individual differences in novelty reactivity: search for neurobiological correlates

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Although chronic stress has been reported to induce deleterious effects on hippocampal structure and function, the possible existence of individual differences in the vulnerability to develop stress-induced cognitive alterations was hypothesized. This stud ...

alpha -Synucleinopathy and selective dopaminergic neuron loss in a rat lentiviral-based model of Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christophe Lo Bianco

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions named Lewy bodies. Two missense mutations of the alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn; A30P and A53T) have been desc ...

Differential activation of hippocampus and amygdala following spatial learning under stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

We examined the activation of memory-related processes in the hippocampus and the amygdala following spatial learning under stress, in the rat. Animals were trained in a water maze in a massed spatial task under two stress conditions (cold and warm water). ...

Dichloromethane mediated in vivo selection and functional characterization of rat glutathione S-transferase theta 1-1 variants

Julien Maillard, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco

Methylobacterium dichloromethanicum DM4 is able to grow with dichloromethane as the sole carbon and energy source by using a dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase (GST) for the conversion of dichloromethane to formaldehyde. Mammalian homol ...

Real-Time Measurement of the Contribution of the Muscular- Activity to the Metabolic-Rate in Freely Moving Rats

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Robert

A new real-time ergometric system, ERGORAT, for measuring the energy expenditure due to muscular activity of small mammals is described. The method is based on measuring the vibrations induced by a freely moving rat to a platform on which it is living. Six ...
