Statistical physics of periodic biological processes
Earth rotation around its axis imposes a 24-hour rhythmicity to all life on the planet.Rather than passively responding to these periodic changes, nature has given us an internal timekeeper, the circadian clock, to anticipate to our advantage the fluctuati ...
EPFL2023Non-genomic activation of the AKT-mTOR pathway by the mitochondrial stress response in thyroid cancer
Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu
Cancer progression is associated with metabolic reprogramming and causes significant intracellular stress; however, the mechanisms that link cellular stress and growth signalling are not fully understood. Here, we identified a mechanism that couples the mi ...
SPRINGERNATURE2022Cryo-EM structure of native human thyroglobulin
The thyroglobulin (TG) protein is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis, plays a vital role in the regulation of metabolism, development and growth and serves as intraglandular iodine storage. Its architecture is conserved among vertebrates. Synthesis of ...
2022The Mouse Microbiome Is Required for Sex-Specific Diurnal Rhythms of Gene Expression and Metabolism
Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Jake Yeung
The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metab ...
CELL PRESS2019Sleep-wake-driven and circadian contributions to daily rhythms in gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the murine cortex
Felix Naef, Maxime Jan, Jake Yeung, Ioannis Xenarios
The timing and duration of sleep results from the interaction between a homeostatic sleep-wake-driven process and a periodic circadian process, and involves changes in gene regulation and expression. Unraveling the contributions of both processes and their ...
PNAS2019Cross-regulatory circuits linking inflammation, high-fat diet, and the circadian clock
Felix Naef, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Jake Yeung
Mammalian physiology resonates with the daily changes in the external environment, allowing processes such as rest-activity cycles, metabolism, and body temperature to synchronize with daily changes in the surroundings. Studies have identified the molecula ...
COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT2018Rhythms of the Genome: Circadian Dynamics from Chromatin Topology, Tissue-Specific Gene Expression, to Behavior
Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-h day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right tis ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON2018Circadian Rhythms and Mitochondria: Connecting the Dots
Carlos Canto Alvarez, Miriam Valera Alberni
Circadian rhythms provide a selective advantage by anticipating organismal nutrient needs and guaranteeing optimal metabolic capacity during active hours. Impairment of circadian rhythms is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and emerging evi ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2018Circadian clock- and feeding-dependent regulation of translation initiation and elongation in the liver
Circadian rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and adapt to periodic environmental changes related to the day-night cycle. These rhythms originate from a genetic network ticking in almost every cell of our body and the coordination between different organ ...
EPFL2018Rhythmic and clock-dependent chromatin loops regulate circadian gene expression
In mammals the circadian clock drives daily behavioural and physiological changes that resonate with environmental cues, which can be observed, for example, in the intricate timing of rest during the night and activity during the day in humans. The circadi ...
