Automated high-content phenotyping from the first larval stage till the onset of adulthood of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is increasingly used as a model for human biology. However, in vivo culturing platforms for C. elegans allowing high-content phenotyping during their life cycle in an automated fashion are lacking so far. Here, a multipl ...

Development of microfluidic tools and methods for the biochemical characterization of scFv and Cas9 affinity reagents and their applications in molecular detection

Ekaterina Emilova Petrova

Recent progress in protein engineering, empowered by the rapidly evolving fields of synthetic biology and DNA synthesis, has enabled the generation of various custom-designed proteins. Their thorough analysis has led to applications in areas including medi ...

Optogenetic Peripheral Nerve Immunogenicity

Optogenetic technologies have been the subject of great excitement within the scientific community for their ability to demystify complex neurophysiological pathways in the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS). The excitement surrounding opto ...

EVIR: Chimeric receptors that enhance dendritic cell cross-dressing with tumor antigens

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Chiara Cianciaruso, Sarah Kate Hansen

We describe a lentivirus-encoded chimeric receptor, termed extracellular vesicle (EV)-internalizing receptor (EVIR), which enables the selective uptake of cancer-cell-derived EVs by dendritic cells (DCs). The EVIR enhances DC presentation of EV-associated ...

AAV based gene therapy for rare diseases

Cylia Cloé Rochat

Of the seven thousand diseases that are described as rare, 80% of them have an identified genetic cause. With this in the mind, the development of technologies, such as gene therapy, to address the genetic factors involved in these pathologies, might be a ...

Learning by networked agents under partial information

Ali H. Sayed

In many scenarios of interest, agents may only have access to partial information about an unknown model or target vector. Each agent may be sensing only a subset of the entries of a global target vector, and the number of these entries can be different ac ...

MAR-Mediated transgene integration into permissive chromatin and increased expression by recombination pathway engineering

Christian Iseli, Nicolas Mermod, Thomas Junier, Samuel Neuenschwander, Ioannis Xenarios

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 ...

New methods for developing (bi)cyclic peptides by phage display

Camille Villequey

Cyclic peptide ligands are a promising molecular format for the development of therapeutics. They combine some of the advantages of large protein therapeutics (high affinity and specificity) and of small molecule drugs (accessibility to chemical synthesis ...

Role of Condensing Particles in Polymer Confinement: A Model for Virus-Packed "Minichromosomes"

Sanjin Marion

Confined mixtures of a polymer and nonspecifically binding particles (condensers) are studied as models for viruses containing double-stranded DNA (polymer) and condensing proteins (particles). We explore a model in which all interactions between the packe ...

Genome-to-genome analysis highlights the effect of the human innate and adaptive immune systems on the hepatitis C virus

Jacques Fellay, Istvan Bartha, Nimisha Chaturvedi, David Smith

Outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and treatment depend on viral and host genetic factors. Here we use human genome-wide genotyping arrays and new whole-genome HCV viral sequencing technologies to perform a systematic genome-to-genome study of 5 ...
