Lack of additive role of ageing in nigrostriatal neurodegeneration triggered by alpha-synuclein overexpression

Grégoire Courtine, Laetitia Danielle Philippine Baud, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons as well as the presence of proteinaceous inclusions named Lewy bodies. alpha synuclein (alpha-syn) is a major constituent o ...

Multi-factorial models of a carbon fibre/epoxy composite subjected to accelerated environmental ageing

Joël Cugnoni, Enrique René Guzman Solares

Among materials being introduced in the aerospace industry, the carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) have a place of privilege because of their exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio. However, the polymer-based matrix is vulnerable to damages by environmen ...

Hepatotoxicity induced by neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol is maintained throughout adulthood via the nuclear receptor SHP

Kristina Schoonjans

Background: Liver physiology is sensitive to estrogens, which suggests that the liver might be a target of estrogenic endocrine disrupters (EED). However, the long-term consequences of neonatal exposure to EED on liver physiology have rarely been studied. ...

Interplay of TRIM28 and DNA methylation in controlling human endogenous retroelements

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Julien Léonard Duc, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Flavia Marzetta

Reverse transcription-derived sequences account for at least half of the human genome. Although these retroelements are formidable motors of evolution, they can occasionally cause disease, and accordingly are inactivated during early embryogenesis through ...

Histone acetylation: molecular mnemonics on the chromatin

Johannes Gräff

Long-lasting memories require specific gene expression programmes that are, in part, orchestrated by epigenetic mechanisms. Of the epigenetic modifications identified in cognitive processes, histone acetylation has spurred considerable interest. Whereas in ...
