Transcriptomic profiling of murine GnRH neurons reveals developmental trajectories linked to human reproduction and infertility

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern

Rationale: Neurons producing Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) are essential for human reproduction and have to migrate from nose to brain during prenatal life. Impaired GnRH neuron biology results in alterations of the reproductive axis, including del ...

Context transcription factors establish cooperative environments and mediate enhancer communication

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Guido Van Mierlo, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Many enhancers control gene expression by assembling regulatory factor clusters, also referred to as condensates. This process is vital for facilitating enhancer communication and establishing cellular identity. However, how DNA sequence and transcription ...

Non-coding variants impact cis-regulatory coordination in a cell type-specific manner

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Guido Van Mierlo, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Background: Interactions among cis-regulatory elements (CREs) play a crucial role in gene regulation. Various approaches have been developed to map these interactions genome-wide, including those relying on interindividual epigenomic variation to identify ...

DGRPool, a web tool leveraging harmonized Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel phenotyping data for the study of complex traits

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux

Genome-wide association studies have advanced our understanding of complex traits, but studying how a GWAS variant can affect a specific trait in the human population remains challenging due to environmental variability. Drosophila melanogaster is in this ...

Predicting standardized uptake value of brown adipose tissue from CT scans using convolutional neural networks

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux

The standard method for identifying active Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) PET/CT imaging, which is costly and exposes patients to radiation, making it impractical for population studies. These issues can be addressed wit ...

A human omentum-specific mesothelial-like stromal population inhibits adipogenesis through IGFBP2 secretion

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Jörn Pezoldt, Guido Van Mierlo, Daniel Alpern, Pernille Yde Rainer, Magda Zachara, Radiana Ferrero

Although several mouse and human adipose SVF cellular subpopulations have by now been identified, we still lack an understanding of the cellular and functional variability of adipose stem and progenitor cell (ASPC) populations across human fat depots. To a ...

Fly Cell Atlas: A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the adult fruit fly

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Fabrice David

For more than 100 years, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been one of the most studied model organisms. Here, we present a single-cell atlas of the adult fly, Tabula Drosophilae, that includes 580,000 nuclei from 15 individually dissected sexed ti ...
