Lipopolysaccharide induces intestinal glucocorticoid synthesis in a TNFalpha-dependent manner

Stringent control of immune responses in the intestinal mucosa is critical for the maintenance of immune homeostasis and prevention of tissue damage, such as observed during inflammatory bowel disease. Intestinal epithelial cells, primarily thought to form ...

Association Study of 182 Candidate Genes in Anorexia Nervosa

Pierre Magistretti

We performed association studies with 5,151 SNPs that were judged as likely candidate genetic variations conferring susceptibility to anorexia nervosa (AN) based on location under reported linkage peaks, previous results in the literature (182 candidate ge ...

Neuroprotective role of lactate after cerebral ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Pierre Magistretti, Hongxia Lei, Jonathan Thevenet

It is well established that lactate can be used as an energy substrate by the brain by conversion to pyruvate and a subsequent oxidation in the mitochondria. Knowing the need for readily metabolizable substrates directly after ischemia and the protective e ...

Effect of residual stress on fracture in confined thin films: a discrete dislocation study

William Curtin

The fracture toughness of thin metal films confined between elastic layers, a geometry prevalent in electronic packaging applications, is found to depend strongly on the metal film thickness and on residual stress. Here, a two-dimensional discrete dislocat ...

Approach To Predict Copolymer Compositions in Case of Variable Monomer Reactivity

Jutta Christine Wandrey, Ignacio Rintoul

An anal. approach to predict copolymer compns. is presented for the particular case that the reactivity of one monomer (B) alters under the influence of one measurable medium parameter. Terpolymn. math. treatment was applied to binary systems (A/B), which ...

Single potential electrophoresis on-chip using Pressure Pulse Injection

Martinus Gijs, Frédéric Lacharme

We propose two new injection techniques for use in electrophoresis microchips, which we call 舖Front Gate Pressure Injection舗 and 舖Back Gate Pressure Injection舗. Both techniques enable a controlled and variable size sample introduction with reduced bias com ...

Evidence for a susceptibility gene for anorexia nervosa on chromosome 1

Pierre Magistretti

Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa (AN), have a significant genetic component. In the current study, a genomewide linkage analysis of 192 families with at least one affected relative pair with AN and related eating disorders, including bulimia nerv ...

Nuglets: a Virtual Currency to Stimulate Cooperation in Self-Organized Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan

In mobile ad hoc networks, it is usually assumed that all the nodes belong to the same authority; therefore, they are expected to cooperate in order to support the basic functions of the network such as routing. In this paper, we consider the case in which ...

Differential effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on the growth of calretinin-expressing neurons in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia

Pierre Magistretti, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

The development of spinal cord or dorsal root ganglia neurons expressing calretinin (CR) was studied in thyroid hormone-deficient rats. Immunocytochemical and morphometric analyses showed that the hypothyroidism induced a significant decrease in the number ...
