Upregulation of the ERR γ-VDAC1 axis underlies the molecular pathogenesis of pancreatitis

Emerging evidence suggest that transcription factors play multiple roles in the development of pancreatitis, a necroinflammatory condition lacking specific therapy. Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), a pleiotropic transcription factor, has been reported t ...

Silencing of CEBPB-AS1 modulates CEBPB expression and resensitizes BRAF-inhibitor resistant melanoma cells to vemurafenib

Rita Valador Fernandes

Introduction of targeted therapy in the treatment of metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) has improved clinical outcome during the last years. However, only in a subset of the CMM patients, this will lead to long-term effects. CEBPB is a transcrip ...

Extra-axonal restricted diffusion as an in-vivo marker of reactive microglia

Anne des Rieux, Gaëtan Olivier D Rensonnet, Benoît Macq

Reactive microgliosis is an important pathological component of neuroinflammation and has been implicated in a wide range of brain diseases including brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Mapping rea ...

Towards non-parametric reconstruction of axon diameter distributions using diffusion MRI and regularized discrete linear modeling

David Paul Roger Romascano

The distribution of axon diameters (ADD) is an important white matter feature: it influences action potential speed, it has been shown to evolve during development, and also to be affected during pathological processes. Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...

Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Disease in Otherwise Healthy Infants: Failure of Specific Neonatal Immune Responses

Jacques Fellay, Alessandro Borghesi

Only a small proportion of newborn infants exposed to a pathogenic microorganism develop overt infection. Susceptibility to infection in preterm infants and infants with known comorbidities has a likely multifactorial origin and can be often attributed to ...

Zinc and Copper Differentially Modulate Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing by -Secretase and Amyloid- Peptide Production

Patrick Fraering, Mitko Dimitrov, Hermeto Gerber, Guillermo Miguel Garcia Osuna

Recent evidence suggests involvement of biometal homeostasis in the pathological mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease (AD). For example, increased intracellular copper or zinc has been linked to a reduction in secreted levels of the AD-causing amyloid- peptid ...

Tomographic in vivo microscopy for the study of lung physiology at the alveolar level

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Establishing the connection between macroscopic observations o ...

Induction of functional dopamine neurons from human astrocytes in vitro and mouse astrocytes in a Parkinson's disease model

Gioele La Manno

Cell replacement therapies for neurodegenerative disease have focused on transplantation of the cell types affected by the pathological process. Here we describe an alternative strategy for Parkinson's disease in which dopamine neurons are generated by dir ...

Host and pathogen genomics of severe pediatric infections

Samira Asgari

Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of human morbidity and mortality, with the greatest burden felt in the pediatric population. For any infectious disease, only a fraction of the exposed individuals develop clinical symptoms. These inter-indi ...
