Primary human and rat beta cells release the intracellular autoantigens GAD65, IA-2 and proinsulin in exosomes together with cytokine-induced enhancers of immunity

Michele De Palma, Davide Demurtas, Romain Hamelin, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Sachiko Hirosue, Chiara Cianciaruso, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Edward Allen Phelps

The target autoantigens in several organ-specific autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), are intracellular membrane proteins, whose initial encounter with the immune system is poorly understood. Here we propose a new model for how these prot ...

Bioengineering strategies for inducing tolerance in autoimmune diabetes

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Edward Allen Phelps

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease marked by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets. Strategies to delay onset or prevent the autoimmune recognition of beta cell antigens or T cell-mediated killing of beta cells have ...

Small Heterodimer Partner Deletion Prevents Hepatic Steatosis and When Combined With Farnesoid X Receptor Loss Protects Against Type 2 Diabetes in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr(-/-) Shp(-/-) double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight gain, gl ...

Semantic representation and processing of hypoglycemic events derived from wearable sensor data

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Diabetes Type 1 is a metabolic disease which results in a lack of insulin production, causing high glucose levels in the blood. It is crucial for diabetic patients to balance this glucose level, and they depend on external substances to do so. In order to ...

Mfn2 is critical for brown adipose tissue thermogenic function

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Joanna Ratajczak, Miriam Valera Alberni

Mitochondrial fusion and fission events, collectively known as mitochondrial dynamics, act as quality control mechanisms to ensure mitochondrial function and fine-tune cellular bioenergetics. Defective mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) expression and enhanced mitochondri ...

Investigating the Biological Mechanisms underlying the Initiation of Autoimmunity against Beta Cell Antigens in Type 1 Diabetes

Chiara Cianciaruso

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by circulating autoantibodies, lymphocytic infiltration of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, and cell-specific destruction of beta cells, leading to insulin deficiency and symptomatic hyperglycemi ...

Design, Modelling and Sensing Possibilities of Magneto-Rheological Based Devices

Daniel Grivon

This thesis has been put in place during the development of an innovative medical device which consists in an intelligent footwear for foot plantar pressure redistribution in diabetic patients. In fact, despite the several sophisticated techniques develope ...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells enhance insulin secretion from human islets via N-Cadherin interaction and prolong function of transplanted encapsulated islets in mice

Sandrine Gerber, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Redouan Mahou

Background: Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) enhance viability and function of islets of Langerhans. We aimed to examine the interactions between human MSC and human islets of Langerhans that influence the function of islets. Methods: Human MSC ...

System for Adjusting Pressure Locally on the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve ...

Mfn1 Deficiency in the Liver Protects Against Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance and Enhances the Hypoglycemic Effect of Metformin

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Patrick Descombes, Sylviane Métairon, Richardus Houtkooper, Catherine Maclachlan, Joanna Ratajczak, Wen Gao

Mitochondrial function can be influenced by mitochondrial shape and connectivity with other cellular organelles through fusion and fission processes. Disturbances in mitochondrial architecture and mitochondrial fusion related genes are observed in situatio ...
