Bioaccessibility, bioaccumulation and effects of tire-associated chemicals for aquatic and soil-dwelling organisms
Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are produced by the friction between the tires and road and consist of polymer-containing tread with pavement encrustations. There are many data gaps remaining regarding their fate and potential toxicological impact on t ...
2022In vitro acute toxicity assessment of tire tread particles using rainbow trout cell lines of gill and intestine
Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are generated by the abrasion of tires while driving, and recent questions were raised in regards to their potential contribution to microplastics released into the aquatic environment and their potential toxicological i ...
2021Bioavailability of steroid hormones sorbed on microplastics for aquatic organisms through biological fluids
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu
Many studies have reported that hydrophobic organic contaminants have the ability to sorb on microplastics in aquatic ecosystem via different mechanisms of sorption. However, a lack of studies investigating desorption of such contaminants in organism fluid ...
2020The adsorption and desorption behaviors of phenanthrene and pyrene onto microplastics in the aquatic environment and digestive fluids
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu
The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Phenanthrene and Pyrene onto polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microplastics in the simulated freshwater and digestive fluids (simulated gastic fluid (S ...
2020Systems and methods for moving and circulating fluid to treat alzheimer's disease
A system for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is provided by moving cerebrospinal fluid containing particles know to contribute to onset of Alzheimer's disease from a source of cerebrospinal fluid to the stomach or bladder, where the particles are safe ...
2016Use of VacA as a Vaccine Antigen
Dominique Velin, Mati André Marie Moyat
One of the major toxins secreted by H. pylori is the Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) named after its ability to induce the formation of "vacuole"-like membrane vesicles in the cytoplasm of gastric cells. VacA has been associated with the disruption of mitoc ...
Mdpi Ag2016Lansoprazole is an antituberculous prodrug targeting cytochrome bc1
Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Philippe Busso, Jan Lars Rybniker
Better antibiotics capable of killing multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis are urgently needed. Despite extensive drug discovery efforts, only a few promising candidates are on the horizon and alternative screening protocols are required. Here, ...
Nature Publishing Group2015Fine structuration of low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) microreactors
Albert Renken, Paul Muralt, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber
The development of microreactors that operate under harsh conditions is always of great interest for many applications. Here we present a microfabrication process based on low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for producing microreactors which ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2015Redefining the metabolic landscape through TGF-beta/Activin signaling in Drosophila melanogaster
Multicellular organisms assess their nutritional state and adapt their metabolic landscape to match their energy demands. In this thesis, we address a longstanding conundrum of how an organism coordinates digestive enzyme expression in response to its nutr ...
EPFL2015Worldwide Population Structure, Long-Term Demography, and Local Adaptation of Helicobacter pylori
Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Valeria Montano
Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen associated with serious gastric diseases. Owing to its medical importance and close relationship with its human host, understanding genomic patterns of global and local adaptation in H. pylori may be of pa ...
