Metabolic rescue of muscle and muscle stem cells in muscle disease

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by the mutation of dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3500 males, leading to progressive muscle degeneration and eventually resulting in premature death. Increasing evidence indicates that D ...

Calcium-Mediated Liposome Fusion to Engineer Giant Lipid Vesicles with Cytosolic Proteins and Reconstituted Mammalian Proteins

Leo Scheller

Giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as model membrane systems and provide an excellent basis to construct artificial cells. To construct more sophisticated artificial cells, proteins-in particular membrane proteins-need to be incorporat ...

Characterization of Protein-Membrane Interfaces through a Synergistic Computational-Experimental Approach

Alessio Prunotto

The characterization of biological interfaces is widely recognized as one of the main challenges for modern biology. In particular, biological membranes are nowadays known to be an active environment that allows membrane proteins to perform their work and ...

Thioredoxin-Related Transmembrane Proteins: TMX1 and Little Brothers TMX2, TMX3, TMX4 and TMX5

Maurizio Molinari

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is site of synthesis and maturation of membrane and secretory proteins in eukaryotic cells. The ER contains more than 20 members of the Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) family. These enzymes regulate formation, isomerization ...

Deep learning approach for quantification of organelles and misfolded polypeptide delivery within degradative compartments

Maurizio Molinari

Endolysosomal compartments maintain cellular fitness by clearing dysfunctional organelles and proteins from cells. Modulation of their activity offers therapeutic opportunities. Quantification of cargo delivery to and/or accumulation within endolysosomes i ...

Hybrid Human-Machine Interface for Gait Decoding Through Bayesian Fusion of EEG and EMG Classifiers

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Luca Tonin, Stefano Tortora

Despite the advances in the field of brain computer interfaces (BCI), the use of the sole electroencephalography (EEG) signal to control walking rehabilitation devices is currently not viable in clinical settings, due to its unreliability. Hybrid interface ...

Three-dimensional chromatin interactions remain stable upon CAG/CTG repeat expansion

Marion Leleu, Ludovica Vanzan, Flavia Marzetta, Ioannis Xenarios

Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie 13 neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington's disease (HD). Upon expansion, disease loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics, which may provoke changes to chromatin conformation ...

The Transcription Factor Nfix Requires RhoA-ROCK1 Dependent Phagocytosis to Mediate Macrophage Skewing during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration

Giuliana Rossi

Macrophages (MPs) are immune cells which are crucial for tissue repair. In skeletal muscle regeneration, pro-inflammatory cells first infiltrate to promote myogenic cell proliferation, then they switch into an anti-inflammatory phenotype to sustain myogeni ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...

Proteasomal and lysosomal clearance of faulty secretory proteins: ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathways

Maurizio Molinari

About 40% of the eukaryotic cell's proteins are inserted co- or post-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they attain the native structure under the assistance of resident molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. Subsequently, these pr ...
