Upregulation of the ERR γ-VDAC1 axis underlies the molecular pathogenesis of pancreatitis

Emerging evidence suggest that transcription factors play multiple roles in the development of pancreatitis, a necroinflammatory condition lacking specific therapy. Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), a pleiotropic transcription factor, has been reported t ...

RNA sequencing-based single sample predictors of molecular subtype and risk of recurrence for clinical assessment of early-stage breast cancer

Cathrin Brisken, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Rachel Marcone

Multigene assays for molecular subtypes and biomarkers can aid management of early invasive breast cancer. Using RNA-sequencing we aimed to develop single-sample predictor (SSP) models for clinical markers, subtypes, and risk of recurrence (ROR). A cohort ...

Metabolic and transcriptomic profiles of glioblastoma invasion revealed by comparisons between patients and corresponding orthotopic xenografts in mice

Lijing Xin, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Marta Lai

The invasive behavior of glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor, is considered highly relevant for tumor recurrence. However, the invasion zone is difficult to visualize by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and is protected by the blood brain ...

Molecular architecture of the developing mouse brain

Gioele La Manno, Alex Russell Lederer, Irina Khven

The mammalian brain develops through a complex interplay of spatial cues generated by diffusible morphogens, cell-cell interactions and intrinsic genetic programs that result in probably more than a thousand distinct cell types. A complete understanding of ...

Engineering spinal cord repair

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Michael V. Sofroniew

Neurological damage caused by spinal cord injury in humans has been observed for over three thousand years and impacts the lives of several hundred thousand people worldwide. Despite this prevalence and its associated consequences, there is no treatment to ...

Genetic, metabolic, and molecular insights into the diverse outcomes of diet-induced obesity in mouse

Alexis Maximilien Bachmann

Overweight and obesity are increasingly common public health issues worldwide, leading to a wide range of diseases from metabolic syndrome to steatohepatitis and cardiovascular diseases. While the increase in the prevalence of obesity is partly attributabl ...

Toward a Consensus View of Mammalian Adipocyte Stem and Progenitor Cell Heterogeneity

Bart Deplancke, Pernille Yde Rainer, Radiana Ferrero

White adipose tissue (WAT) is a cellularly heterogeneous endocrine organ that not only serves as an energy reservoir, but also actively participates in metabolic homeostasis. Among the main constituents of adipose tissue are adipocytes, which arise from ad ...

Large-scale variational inference for Bayesian joint regression modelling of high-dimensional genetic data

Hélène Ruffieux

Genetic association studies have become increasingly important in understanding the molecular bases of complex human traits. The specific analysis of intermediate molecular traits, via quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies, has recently received much atte ...

The mitophagy activator urolithin A is safe and induces a molecular signature of improved mitochondrial and cellular health in humans

Johan Auwerx, Patrick Aebischer, Pénélope Andreux, Dongryeol Ryu, Frederic Burdet, Anurag Singh

Urolithin A (UA) is a natural dietary, microflora-derived metabolite shown to stimulate mitophagy and improve muscle health in old animals and in preclinical models of aging(1). Here, we report the results of a first-in-human clinical trial in which we adm ...

A cell fitness selection model for neuronal survival during development

Gioele La Manno

Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...
