Robust gamma-aminobutyric acid and energy metabolism measurements by proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fingerprinting

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the only technique that can detect endogenous metabolites directly and non-invasively in vivo. It allows to identify different metabolites and analyze the dynamic neurochemical processes in the brain, skeletal muscl ...

The Role of Biochar and Peatlands in Reaching Swiss Net Zero

Jean-André Tony Davy-Guidicelli

This master thesis explores the role of Biochar production and Peatlands renaturation as Nature-based solutions to reach Swiss Net Zero by 2050, by analyzing the historical, socio-economic context, and the scientific phenomena behind these topics. It aimed ...

Quantitative modeling of human metabolism: A call for a community effort

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon

Metabolism is the process by which cells and organisms obtain nutrients and energy to perform their functions. In the last years, many human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiac diseases, have been associated with altered metabolism. Understan ...

Data mining in the context of urban metabolism: A case study of Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Aristide Henri Roger Athanassiadis, Nicole Sophie Wiedmann

The highest share of the global population lives in cities. The current configuration of the latter requires considerable amounts of resource flows causing the degradation of local and global ecosystems. To face the complexity of these challenges, scientis ...

Modeling metabolic and signaling pathways in cancer cells

Maria Masid Barcon

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...

A transdisciplinary approach to understand, compute and visualize the city interface

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Dasaraden Mauree, Silvia Coccolo, André Gabriel Kostro, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Jing Gong

In order to face the climate change and to improve the sustainability of our cities, architects and urban planners focus on an efficient urban design, improving the energy fluxes within the built environment. But frequently, due to the complexity of the ur ...

Modelling Urban Transitions: A Social Practice Theoretic Approach to the Urban Metabolism

Franziska Meinherz

Urban growth and the increase of the human environmental imprint has led to a growing interest in urban sustainability, a field mainly addressed by urban ecology and urban metabolism studies. The realisation that the urban material and energy flows are mai ...

The antioxidant capacity of erythrocyte concentrates is increased during the first week of storage and correlated with the uric acid level

Hubert Girault, Niels Erik Lion, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Michel Prudent, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background and Objectives: Red blood cells (RBCs) suffer from lesions during cold storage, depending in part on their ability to counterbalance oxidative stress by activating their antioxidant defence. The aim of this study was to monitor the antioxidant p ...

Electrostatic spray ionization from 384-well microtiter plates for mass spectrometry analysis based enzyme assay and drug metabolism screening

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Tzu-En Lin, Elena Tobolkina, Xiaoqin Zhong, Yan Deng, Emna Belghith

We have realized the direct ionization of samples from wells of microtiter plates under atmospheric conditions for mass spectrometry analysis without any liquid delivery system or any additional interface. The microtiter plate is a commercially available 3 ...

Navigating and Managing the Complexity of Genome Scale Metabolic Networks for Studies in Cellular Physiology and Industrial Biotechnology

Meriç Ataman

Metabolism is a network of biochemical reactions that converts carbon sources to cellu-lar fuels and building blocks. Metabolism of many organisms has been studied for many decades. These studies define metabolism as a very large and complex network. Stoic ...
