Cells live in ever-changing environments, thereby facing a variety of dynamic environmental signals. Environmental stimuli elicit intracellular responses through signaling pathways, which converge on transcriptional activation or repression of target genes ...
Genome-wide manipulations and measurements have made huge progress over the last decades. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-studied eukaryotic model organism, homologous recombination allows for systematic deletion or alteration of a majority of its gene ...
Depuis le début de la colonisation de l'île, les Islandais ont toujours vécu avec le risque volcanique. Il se produit ainsi en moyenne une éruption tous les trois à cinq ans. Cependant, seule une éruption de grande ampleur peut avoir un impact à large éche ...
Untargeted plasmid integration into mammalian cell genomes remains a poorly understood and inefficient process. The formation of plasmid concatemers and their genomic integration has been ascribed either to non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous r ...
L’échelle d’un édifice peut être quantifiée à la fois par sa longueur mais aussi par le rapport à son contexte. L’entrepôt Macdonald est à l’échelle d’une tour horizontale de 617 mètres de long : c’est un projet à grande échelle, à l’intermédiaire entre un ...
The appearance of clinically detectable metastases is the end-point of a complex set of biological processes only few cancer cells are capable to complete. Metastatic colonization comprises the most inefficient metastatic steps as it requires a fine-tuned ...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are probably the best understood somatic stem cells and often serve as a paradigm for other stem cells. Nevertheless, most current techniques to genetically manipulate them in vivo are either constitutive, and/or induced in s ...
Lung cancers represent the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. These pulmonary cancers count several histological subgroups, whose non-small cell lung cancers, subject of our study. We were precisely interested in the most common subtype of n ...
The goal of this thesis was to evaluate the use of artificial transposon systems for the generation of recombinant cell pools and cell lines with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as the production host. Transposons are naturally occurring genetic elements ...
We highlight recent developments for the production of recombinant proteins from suspension-adapted mammalian cell lines. We discuss the generation of stable cell lines using transposons and lentivirus vectors (non-targeted transgene integration) and site- ...
