Combining robotics with enhanced serotonin-driven cortical plasticity improves post-stroke motor recovery

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Maria Pasquini, Sara Conti, Marco Mainardi

Despite recent progresses in robotic rehabilitation technologies, their efficacy for post-stroke motor recovery is still limited. Such limitations might stem from the insufficient enhancement of plasticity mechanisms, crucial for functional recovery. Here, ...

3D Printed Micro-Scaffolds Loaded by Inkjet Printing With in-Precise Amount of Drug

Jürgen Brugger, Jongmoon Jang, Christopher Chi Wai Tse, Fengyi Zheng

We propose a novel combination of two-photon polymerization (2PP) three-dimensional (3D) micro-manufacturing with drop-on-demand inkjet printing (DOD IJP) to fabricate 3D microporous scaffolds embedded with minute quantities of releasable drug. We designed ...

Clofarabine Commandeers the RNR-alpha-ZRANB3 Nuclear Signaling Axis

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential enzyme in DNA biogenesis and a target of several chemotherapeutics. Here, we investigate how antileukemic drugs (e.g., clofarabine [CIF]) that target one of the two subunits of RNR, RNR-alpha, affect noncanoni ...

Selective inhibition of STAT3 signaling using monobodies targeting the coiled-coil and N-terminal domains

Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Oliver Hantschel, Grégory La Sala

The transcription factor STAT3 is frequently activated in human solid and hematological malignancies and remains a challenging therapeutic target with no approved drugs to date. Here, we develop synthetic antibody mimetics, termed monobodies, to interfere ...

A high-content image-based drug screen of clinical compounds against cell transmission of adenovirus

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are fatal to immuno-suppressed individuals, but no effective anti-HAdV therapy is available. Here, we present a novel image-based high-throughput screening (HTS) platform, which scores the full viral replication cycle from virus ...

Multimodal imaging and high-throughput image-processing for drug screening on living organisms on-chip

Michaël Unser, Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Daniel Migliozzi, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

A major step for the validation of medical drugs is the screening on whole organisms, which gives the systemic information that is missing when using cellular models. Caenorhabditis elegans is a soil worm that catches the interest of researchers who study ...

Innovative Tools and in vivo Methods for Tuberculosis Drug Discovery and Development

Raphael Christopher Sommer

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent, claiming 1.6 million human lives and causing >10 million new cases in 2017 alone, mostly in low-income regions. The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculos ...

Targeting liver stage malaria with metformin

Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha

Despite an unprecedented 2 decades of success, the combat against malaria - the mosquito-transmitted disease caused by Plasmodium parasites - is no longer progressing. Efforts toward eradication are threatened by the lack of an effective vaccine and a rise ...

Recent Considerations in the Application of RAPTA-C for Cancer Treatment and Perspectives for Its Combination with Immunotherapies

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Magdalena Rausch

The organometallic ruthenium(II) [Ru(arene)Cl2PTA] PTA - 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane compound, RAPTA-C, represents an innovative anti-cancer therapeutic and a better-tolerated alternative to platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment ...

Modelled effects of prawn aquaculture on poverty alleviation and schistosomiasis control

Andrea Rinaldo, Lorenzo Mari, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Marino Gatto

Recent evidence suggests that snail predators may aid efforts to control the human parasitic disease schistosomiasis by eating aquatic snail species that serve as intermediate hosts of the parasite. Here, potential synergies between schistosomiasis control ...
