The transition from quiescence to proliferation is a key regulatory step that can be induced by serum stimulation in cultured fibroblasts. The transcription factor Myc is directly induced by serum mitogens and drives a secondary gene expression program tha ...
Nanopore sensing is a single-molecule technique that allows to probe the nano-bio-world with accuracy. It is a non-invasive technique, which means that the molecule of interest does not need to be labeled to be detected by the nanopore. Most of the studies ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The first miRNA was discovered less than 20 years ago in the context of studying Caenorabditis elegans development. The discovery of the second miR ...
Interest in RNA dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) recently aroused upon discovering causative mutations in RNA-binding protein genes. Here, we show that extensive down-regulation of miRNA levels is a common molecular denominator for multip ...
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is strongly influenced by the accessibility of nucleosomal DNA or the state of chromatin compaction. In this context, coregulators, including both coactivators and corepressors, are pivotal intermediates that bridge ...
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 ...
The BXD genetic reference population is a recombinant inbred panel descended from crosses between the C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2) strains of mice, which segregate for about 5 million sequence variants. Recently, some of these variants have been established ...
Background: Whereas many causes and mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases have been identified, very few therapeutic strategies have emerged in parallel. One possible explanation is that successful treatment strategy may require simultaneous targeting o ...
Cellular homeostasis is maintained by tightly regulated gene networks, controlled notably at the levels of transcription, mRNA processing, and protein post-translational modification and turnover. This thesis focuses on two of these regulatory steps, namel ...
Activity-dependent changes in gene expression are implicated in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (Gambazzi et al., 2010; Spektor et al., 2002; Luthi-Carter et al., 2000). One of the most important facets of transcriptional dysfunction in HD appears ...
