A potent and selective Sirtuin 1 inhibitor alleviates pathology in multiple animal and cell models of Huntington's disease

Protein acetylation, which is central to transcriptional control as well as other cellular processes, is disrupted in Huntington's disease (HD). Treatments that restore global acetylation levels, such as inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDACs), are effecti ...

Monitoring strain gradients in adhesive composite joints by embedded fiber Bragg grating sensors

Véronique Michaud, Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz

The adhesive bonding of composite materials can be applied to assemble light-weight structures for aeronautical applications. However, the application of adhesive bonds in primary load-bearing structures is limited by the lack of adequate techniques to mon ...

Study of spatial dispersion in graphene parallel-plate waveguides and equivalent circuit

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Juan Sebastian Gomez Diaz

We propose an equivalent longitudinal circuit to characterize surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation along spatially dispersive graphene parallel plate waveguides. This circuit allows the fast analysis of the propagating modes, taking into account t ...

Groundwater flow and salt transport in a subterranean estuary driven by intensified wave conditions

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore ...

Lactate brain metabolism in different mouse strains probed by hyperpolarized 13C MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Yuhei Takado

Lactate plays an important role in brain energetics and is essential for neuronal function. Alteration of its metabolism might be associated with mechanisms linked to neurodegenerative disorders1. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential ...

Alpha-synuclein Post-translational Modifications as Potential Biomarkers for Parkinson Disease and Other Synucleinopathies

Hilal Lashuel, Marc Moniatte, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Adrian Schmid

The development of novel therapies against neurodegenerative disorders requires the ability to detect their early, presymptomatic manifestations in order to enable treatment before irreversible cellular damage occurs. Precocious signs indicative of neurode ...

Astrocyte–neuron co-culture on microchips based on the model of SOD mutation to mimic ALS

Philippe Renaud, Pierre Magistretti, Patrick Aebischer, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Anja Kunze, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease. ALS is believed to be a non-cell autonomous condition, as other cell types, including astrocytes, have been implicated in disease pathogenesis. Hence, to facilitate the developmen ...

Wind tunnel measurements of sediment mass fluxes in different dense live plant canopies

Michael Lehning, Benjamin Andreas Walter

Erosion, transport and deposition of soil or snow are processes that occur when the atmospheric turbulent boundary layer interacts with the ground. Vegetation on the ground is able to significantly modify these processes, usually resulting in reduced parti ...

Investigation of the effects of AMPS-modified nanoclay on fuel cell performance of sulfonated aromatic proton exchange membranes

Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi

Here we describe preparation and characterization of a series of nanocomposite polyelectrolytes based on partially sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT). Optimum degree of sulfonation for SPEEK is selec ...
