Sex moderates the relationship between cognitive disorganisation and visual backward masking: potential implications for an endophenotype of schizophrenia.
Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Guillaume Sierro
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that impairs individuals’ life, often chronically and from early adulthood on. There is a search for endophenotypes, i.e. stable markers of the genetic underpinnings of the disease. Visual backward masking (VBM) is ...
2012The in vivo performance of magnetic particle-loaded injectable, in situ gelling, carriers for the delivery of local hyperthermia
Heinrich Hofmann, Antonin Faes, Alke Fink, Olivier Jordan, Daniel Ruefenacht
In situ forming implants are attractive for minimally invasive localized therapies such as aneurysm embolization. As for the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), their deposition/injection in a target tissue area allows magnetically induced ...

2010Dual activities of odorants on olfactory and nuclear hormone receptors
Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Sylvain Etter, Ralf Schmauder
We have screened an odorant compound library and discovered molecules acting as chemical signals that specifically activate both G-protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) on the cell surface of olfactory sensory neurons and the human nuclear estrogen rec ...
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology2009Stress before puberty exerts a sex- and age-related impact on auditory and contextual fear conditioning in the rat
Adolescence is a period of major physical, hormonal, and psychological changes. It is also characterized by a significant increase in the incidence of psychopathologies and this increase is gender-specific. Stress during adolescence is associated with the ...
2007A facilitative role for corticosterone in the acquisition of a spatial task under moderate stress
Emotionally charged experiences alter memory storage via the activation of hormonal systems. Previously, we have shown that compared with rats trained for a massed spatial learning task in the water maze in warm water (25 degrees C), animals that were trai ...
2004Removal of estrogenic activity and formation of oxidation products during ozonation of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol
This study investigated the oxidation of the oral contraceptive 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) during ozonation. First, the effect of ozone (O-3) on the estrogenic activity of aqueous solutions of EE2 was studied using a yeast estrogen screen (YES). It cou ...
2004Exposure to retrieval cues improves retention performance and induces changes in ACTH and corticosterone release
Memory retrieval can be facilitated by pretest exposure to cues associated with the original training. The present series of experiments was aimed at investigating whether the effectiveness of the retrieval cues might be due to their emotional value and th ...
2004Hormonal control of alveolar development and its implications for breast carcinogenesis
During puberty and pregnancy, the breast undergoes major restructuring in order to produce a structure that can secrete and eject copious amounts of milk. By analogy to other branched organs such as the lung or the salivary gland, a large increase in surfa ...
2002Regulation of adipocyte differentiation
Once multipotent mesenchymal cells become committed to the adipoblast lineage, adipogenesis, the process of preadipocytes differentiation into adipocytes is initiated. This process starts with a phase of exponential growth of adipoblasts. Following conflue ...
