Disruption of the expression of the proprotein convertase PC7 reduces BDNF production and affects learning and memory in mice

Daniel Constam

PC7 belongs to the proprotein convertase family, whose members are implicated in the cleavage of secretory precursors. The in vivo function of PC7 is unknown. Herein, we find that the precursor proBDNF is processed into mature BDNF in COS-1 cells coexpress ...

Regulation of Neurotrophic Factors and Energy Metabolism by Antidepressants in Astrocytes

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Luc Martin, Igor Allaman

There is growing evidence that astrocytes are involved in the neuropathology of major depression. In particular, decreases in glial cell density observed in the cerebral cortex of individuals with major depressive disorder are accompanied by a reduction of ...

A spastic paraplegia mouse model reveals REEP1-dependent ER shaping

Elisabeth Anne Dirren

Axonopathies are a group of clinically diverse disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of the axons of specific neurons. In hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), the axons of cortical motor neurons degenerate and cause a spastic movement dis ...

Heparin-binding domain of fibrin(ogen) binds growth factors and promotes tissue repair when incorporated within a synthetic matrix

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Adrian Ranga

By binding growth factors (GFs), the ECM tightly regulates their activity. We recently reported that the heparin-binding domain II of fibronectin acts as a promiscuous high-affinity GF-binding domain. Here we hypothesized that fibrin, the provisional ECM d ...

Patterning of cell-instructive hydrogels by hydrodynamic flow focusing

Matthias Lütolf, Steffen Cosson, Simone Allazetta

Microfluidic gradient systems offer a very precise means to probe the response of cells to graded biomolecular signals in vitro, for example to model how morphogen proteins affect cell fate during developmental processes. However, existing gradient makers ...

No association of the BDNF val66met polymorphism with implicit associative vocabulary and motor learning

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been suggested to play a major role in plasticity, neurogenesis and learning in the adult brain. The BDNF gene contains a common val66met polymorphism associated with decreased activity-dependent excretion of BD ...

Traps and Pitfalls of Using Contact Traces in Performance Studies of Opportunistic Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nikodin Ristanovic, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Contact-based simulations are a very popular tool for the analysis of opportunistic networks. They are used for evaluation of networking metrics, for quantifying the effects of infrastructure and for the design of forwarding strategies. However, little evi ...

Real-time Prediction of Fast and Slow Delivery of Mental Commands in a Motor Imagery BCI: An Entropy-based Approach

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Christoph Gastpar, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Sareh Saeedi

Providing adaptive shared control for Brain- Computer Interfaces (BCIs) can result in better performance while reducing the user’s mental workload. In this respect, online estimation of accuracy and speed of command delivery are important factors. This stu ...
