Pulchelloid A, a sesquiterpene lactone from the Canadian prairie plant Gaillardia aristata inhibits mitosis in human cells

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez

Background The Canadian prairie ecosystem presents a rich source of natural products from plants that are subjected to herbivory by grazing mammals. This type of ecological competition may contribute to the production of natural products of interest in cel ...

Tuning SAS-6 architecture with monobodies impairs distinct steps of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Georg Fantner, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez, Oliver Hantschel, Virginie Hamel, Niccolo Banterle, Santiago Harald Andany

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved multi-protein organelles essential for forming cilia and centrosomes. Centriole biogenesis begins with self-assembly of SAS-6 proteins into 9-fold symmetrical ring polymers, which then stack into a cartwheel that sca ...

JNK Inhibition Reduced Retinal Ganglion Cell Death after Ischemia/Reperfusion In Vivo and after Hypoxia In Vitro

Tatiana Favez

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key regulators that have been linked to cell survival and death. Among the main classes of MAPKs, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) has been shown to mediate cell stress responses associated with apoptosis. In Vitr ...

Novel ADAM9 homozygous mutation in a consanguineous Egyptian family with severe cone-rod dystrophy and cataract

Tatiana Favez

Objective To genetically and phenotypically describe a new ADAM9 homozygous mutation in a consanguineous family from Egypt with autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (arCRD), anterior polar and posterior subcapsular cataract. Design, setting and participa ...

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 ...

Mutations in ALDH1A3 Represent a Frequent Cause of Microphthalmia/Anophthalmia in Consanguineous Families

Tatiana Favez

Anophthalmia or microphthalmia (A/M), characterized by absent or small eye, can be unilateral or bilateral and represent developmental anomalies due to the mutations in several genes. Recently, mutations in aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1, member A3 (ALDH1 ...

IROme, a New High-Throughput Molecular Tool for the Diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

Tatiana Favez, Pascal Escher, Alexandra Iouranova

The molecular diagnosis of retinal dystrophies is difficult because of the very important number of genes implicated and is rarely helped by genotype-phenotype correlations. This prompted us to develop IROme, a custom designed in solution-based targeted ex ...

Mutations in the SPARC-Related Modular Calcium-Binding Protein 1 Gene, SMOC1, Cause Waardenburg Anophthalmia Syndrome

Patrick Descombes, Tatiana Favez

Waardenburg anophthalmia syndrome, also known as microphthalmia with limb anomalies, ophthalmoacromelic syndrome, and anophthalmia-syndactyly, is a rare autosomal-recessive developmental disorder that has been mapped to 10p11.23. Here we show that this dis ...
