The specificity of TRIM5{alpha}-mediated restriction is influenced by its coiled-coil domain

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco, Pierre Maillard

Retroviruses are both powerful evolutionary forces and dangerous threats to genome integrity. As such, they have imposed strong selective pressure on their hosts, notably triggering the emergence of restriction factors, such as TRIM5alpha, that act as pote ...

Exploring the transcriptional landscape of plant circadian rhythms using genome tiling arrays

Felix Naef

BACKGROUND: Organisms are able to anticipate changes in the daily environment with an internal oscillator know as the circadian clock. Transcription is an important mechanism in maintaining these oscillations. Here we explore, using whole genome tiling arr ...

Bio-inspired self-organizing cellular systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspiration borrows three properties characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these properties, our self-organizing systems are able to grow, to ...

Design of Self-organizing Bio-inspired Systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier

Self-organizing bio-inspired systems borrow three structural principles characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, our cellular syst ...

Bio-inspired Systems with Self-developing Mechanisms

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspired systems borrow three structural principles characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, our cellular systems are endowed ...

Division of labour and colony efficiency in social insects: effects of interactions between genetic architecture, colony kin structure and rate of perturbations

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The efficiency of social insect colonies critically depends on their ability to efficiently allocate workers to the various tasks which need to be performed. While numerous models have investigated the mechanisms allowing an efficient colony response to ex ...

Evolutionary Robotics: Coping with Environmental Change

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

In this paper an evolutionary method consisting of encoding a set of local adaptation rules that synapses obey while a robot freely moves in the environment is compared to standard evolution of fixed-weight control networks. The results show ha evolutionar ...

A molecular approach to the evolution of vertebrate paired appendages

Denis Duboule

Over the past few years, genes involved in the ontogenesis of tetrapod limbs have been isolated and characterized. Some of the developmental mechanisms responsible for the morphogenesis of these complex structures can now be investigated through a new appr ...

Biomaterials in tissue engineering

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Biomaterials play a pivotal role in field of tissue engineering. Biomimetic synthetic polymers have been created to elicit specific cellular functions and to direct cell-cell interactions both in implants that are initially cell-free, which may serve as ma ...

Developmental extinction of liver lipoprotein lipase mRNA expression might be regulated by an NF-1-like site

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The molecular mechanism underlying the extinction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression in rat liver during development was investigated. A mouse (BWTG3) and a rat (7777) hepatoma, both of which exhibit characteristics of fetal hepatocytes, were found to ...
