Dynamic wetting in pressure-infiltration of ceramic particle preforms by molten metal

This thesis investigates the interaction between mechanically induced flow of a liquid metal into a porous solid, and kinetic effects at the triple line. The approach is experimental and focuses on metal-ceramic systems for which the literature gives value ...

Monitoring the effects of dexamethasone treatment by MRI using in vivo iron oxide nanoparticle-labeled macrophages

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi, Géraldine Sylvie Coullerez

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease causing recurring inflammatory joint attacks. These attacks are characterized by macrophage infiltration contributing to joint destruction. Studies have shown that RA treatment efficacy is correl ...

Vitamin D and energy homeostasis-of mice and men

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

The vitamin D endocrine system has many extraskeletal targets, including adipose tissue. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3, the active form of vitamin D, not only increases adipogenesis and the expression of typical adipocyte genes but also decreases the expressio ...

Stimulus-induced modulation of transcriptional bursting in a single mammalian gene

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Benjamin Zoller, Rosamaria Cannavo

Mammalian genes are often transcribed discontinuously as short bursts of RNA synthesis followed by longer silent periods. However, how these "on" and "off" transitions, together with the burst sizes, are modulated in single cells to increase gene expressio ...

Bioresorbable Nanocomposite Foams for Bone Tissue Engineering

Claire Diane Delabarde

The present work forms part of an ongoing effort at the Laboratory of Polymer and Composite Technology (LTC) to develop novel solvent-free processing methods for next generation resorbable porous scaffolds for bone replacement, based on supercritical carbo ...

Ductal cells of the pancreas

Anne Grapin-Botton

Ductal cells of the pancreas form the epithelial lining of the branched tubes that deliver enzymes produced by pancreatic acinar cells into the duodenum. In addition, these cells secrete bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acidity. During development, epi ...

Statistical Analysis of Chao’s Immune System Simulation

Eric Winnington

Modeling the immune system (IS) means putting together a set of assumptions about its components (cells and organs) and their interactions. Simulations of a model show joint behavior of the components, which for complex realistic models is often impossible ...

Differential effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on the growth of calretinin-expressing neurons in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia

Pierre Magistretti, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

The development of spinal cord or dorsal root ganglia neurons expressing calretinin (CR) was studied in thyroid hormone-deficient rats. Immunocytochemical and morphometric analyses showed that the hypothyroidism induced a significant decrease in the number ...

Combined effect of titanium particles and TNF-alpha on the production of IL-6 by osteoblast-like cells

Dominique Pioletti

To clarify the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on osteoblast functions in the presence of metal particles, two human osteoblast-like cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS-2) were cultured with TNF-alpha in the presence or absence of titanium particles in vi ...

The mutation Gly142-->Glu in human lipoprotein lipase produces a missorted protein that is diverted to lysosomes

Johan Auwerx

While the molecular characterization of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activation is progressing, the intracellular processing, transport, and secretion signals of LPL are still poorly known. The aim of this paper is to study are involvement of glycine 142 in LP ...
