Microbiota-Derived Lactate Activates Production of Reactive Oxygen Species by the Intestinal NADPH Oxidase Nox and Shortens Drosophila Lifespan

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Igor Iatsenko

Commensal microbes colonize the gut epithelia of virtually all animals and provide several benefits to their hosts. Changes in commensal populations can lead to dysbiosis, which is associated with numerous pathologies and decreased lifespan. Peptidoglycan ...

IROme, a New High-Throughput Molecular Tool for the Diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies-A Price Comparison with Sanger Sequencing

Tatiana Favez, Pascal Escher

The molecular diagnosis of retinal dystrophies (RD) is difficult because of genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Previously, the molecular screening of genes was done one by one, sometimes in a scheme based on the frequency of sequence variants and the numb ...

Spatiotemporal Intracellular Nitric Oxide Signaling Captured Using Internalized, Near-Infrared Fluorescent Carbon Nanotube Nanosensors

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Xun Gong

Fluorescent nanosensor probes have suffered from limited mol. recognition and a dearth of strategies for spatial-temporal operation in cell culture. In this work, we spatially imaged the dynamics of nitric oxide (NO) signaling, important in numerous pathol ...
