The Channel-Activating Protease CAP1/Prss8 Is Required for Placental Labyrinth Maturation

Simona Frateschi, Friedrich Beermann, Roch-Philippe Charles, Aline Dousse

The serine protease CAP1/Prss8 is crucial for skin barrier function, lung alveolar fluid clearance and has been unveiled as diagnostic marker for specific cancer types. Here, we show that a constitutive knockout of CAP1/Prss8 leads to embryonic lethality. ...

Jagged1 is the major regulator of notch-dependent cell fate in proximal airways

Freddy Radtke

Background: The Notch signaling pathway plays complex roles in developing lungs, including regulation of proximodistal fates, airway cell specification and differentiation. However, the specific Notch-mediated signals involved in lung development remain un ...

Near-Affine-Invariant Texture Learning for Lung Tissue Analysis Using Isotropic Wavelet Frames

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge

We propose near-affine-invariant texture descriptors derived from isotropic wavelet frames for the characterization of lung tissue patterns in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging. Affine invariance is desirable to enable learning of nondeter ...

ERLOTINIB DERIVATIVES & USES THEREOF

Sandrine Gerber, Davide Städler, Solène Marcelle Françoise Marie Passemard, Françoise Borcard, Damien Evéquoz

The present invention relates to compounds useful in the treatment of cancers, in particular cancers overexpressing the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) such as non-small cell lung or breast cancers. ...

Background: Glucocorticoids (GC) are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive steroid hormones, mainly produced by the adrenal glands. However, increasing evidence supports the idea of additional extra-adrenal sources of bioactive GC. The lung epithe ...

Detecting small lung tumors in mouse models by refractive-index microradiology

Giorgio Margaritondo

Refractive-index (phase-contrast) radiology was able to detect lung tumors less than 1 mm in live mice. Significant micromorphology differences were observed in the microradiographs between normal, inflamed, and lung cancer tissues. This was made possible ...
