SLC25A46 promotes mitochondrial fission and mediates resistance to lipotoxic stress in INS-1E insulin-secreting cells

Glucose sensing in pancreatic D-cells depends on oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondria-derived signals that promote insulin secretion. Using mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteo-mics to search for downstream effectors of glucose-dependent signal tran ...

Uncovering personalized glucose responses and circadian rhythms from multiple wearable biosensors with Bayesian dynamical modeling

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Wearable biosensors and smartphone applications can measure physiological variables over multiple days in free-living conditions. We measure food and drink ingestion, glucose dynamics, physical activity, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) in ...

Microtubule-mediated GLUT4 trafficking is disrupted in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Martin Rainer Wohlwend

Microtubules serve as tracks for long-range intracellular trafficking of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), but the role of this process in skeletal muscle and insulin resistance is unclear. Here, we used fixed and live-cell imaging to study microtubule-based ...

Bioengineering a glucose oxidase nanosensor for near-infrared continuous glucose monitoring

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Nils Schürgers, Hanxuan Wang

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit photostable near-infrared fluorescence that is conducive for optical glucose monitoring. Such SWCNT-based optical sensors often require the immobilization of proteins that can confer glucose selectivity and reac ...

The role of nicotinamide riboside metabolism in pancreatic beta cells

Angélique Satoko Cercillieux

Pancreatic beta cells play a major role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels. A gradual deterioration of functional beta cell mass and the chronic elevation of blood glucose levels are c ...

Lipid biosynthesis enzyme Agpat5 in AgRP-neurons is required for insulin-induced hypoglycemia sensing and glucagon secretion

Maxime Jan

The counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia that restores normal blood glucose levels is an essential physiological function. It is initiated, in large part, by incompletely characterized brain hypoglycemia sensing neurons that trigger the secretion of ...

Primary data for EPFL thesis "Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe"

Özge Uysal Özdemir

All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...

Magnitude of gluconeogenesis and endogenous glucose production: are they predictable in clinical settings?

Marc Anthony David Habisreutinger

Introduction: Regulation of endogenous glucose production (EGP) is essential for glucose homeostasis. It includes gluconeogenesis (GNG) from non-carbohydrate substrates and hepatic glycogenolysis. Both these pathways are dysregulated in acute stress, but t ...
