Identification of genes required for host-cell adhesion and antibiotic persistence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli via high-content screening

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common bacterial pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Driven by the development of antibiotic resistant UPEC strains, UTIs have become a major public health issue and generate substantial hea ...

Dynamic partitioning of branched-chain amino acids-derived nitrogen supports renal cancer progression

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon, Ming Yang

Metabolic reprogramming is critical for tumor initiation and progression. However, the exact impact of specific metabolic changes on cancer progression is poorly understood. Here, we integrate multimodal analyses of primary and metastatic clonally-related ...

Bladder Cancer Photodynamic Therapeutic Agent with Off-On Magnetic Resonance Imaging Enhancement

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Chen Xie

Acting as an extracellular matrix protein receptor, alpha(v)beta(3) integrin becomes an appealing target for photodynamic therapy of bladder cancer. Here, specific alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin-targeting porphyrinato-gadolinium complexes (Gd-PEG-R-n) are demons ...

Chemotherapy elicits pro-metastatic extracellular vesicles in breast cancer models

Michele De Palma, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Chiara Cianciaruso, Esra Güç, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Antonino Cassarà

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is an effective treatment for invasive breast cancer. However, experimental studies in mice also suggest that chemotherapy has pro-metastatic effects. Primary tumours release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that can ...

Tubular Compressed Collagen Scaffolds for Ureteral Tissue Engineering in a Flow Bioreactor System

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Mouti Elodie Mouloungui

Ureteral replacement by tissue engineering might become necessary following tissue loss after excessive ureteral trauma, after retroperitoneal cancer, or even after failed reconstructive surgery. This need has driven innovation in the design of novel scaff ...

Study of the influence of over-the-counter vitamin supplement intake on urine fluorescence to optimize cancer detection by fluorescence cystoscopy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy (FC) efficiently enhances the detection and improves the therapeutic management of early bladder cancer. During an FC, about 150 ml of water is needed to inflate the bladder. The water is quickly diluted by urine which can be fluore ...

Direct dynamic measurement of intracellular and extracellular lactate in small-volume cell suspensions with 13C hyperpolarised NMR

Andrea Capozzi, Arnaud Comment

Hyperpolarised (HP) C-13 NMR allows enzymatic activity to be probed in real time in live biological systems. The use of in vitro models gives excellent control of the cellular environment, crucial in the understanding of enzyme kinetics. The increased conv ...

Optical spectroscopy of the bladder washout fluid to optimize fluorescence cystoscopy with Hexvix

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Blaise Lovisa, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy enhances detection of early bladder cancer. Water used to inflate the bladder during the procedure rapidly contains urine, which may contain fluorochromes. This frequently degrades fluorescence images. Samples of bladder washout flu ...

Is There a Need for Smooth Muscle Cell Transplantation in Urethral Reconstruction?

Peter Frey

Background: Hypospadias and urethral strictures are conditions requiring additional tissue for reconstruction. Due to a limited source of tissue, autologous skin and oral mucosa are frequently used. However, long-term follow-up studies demonstrated signifi ...

GLUT3 is induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Bart Deplancke, Natasha Ella Samson, Etienne Meylan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Mark Jonathan Masin

Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer. Despite an extensive characterization of each of them separately, the links between EMT ...
