In Vitro Digestion of Tire Particles in a Fish Model (Oncorhynchus mykiss): Solubilization Kinetics of Heavy Metals and Effects of Food Coingestion

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) have been shown to represent a large part of anthropogenic particles released into the environment. Nevertheless, the potential ecological risk of TRWP in the different environmental compartments and their potential toxi ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Luciano Andres Abriata, Florence Pojer, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Kaycie Marie Butler, Jun Moriya

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

Biogeography of microbial bile acid transformations along the murine gut

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Laure Menin, Solenne Anne Marie Marion, Lyne Desharnais

Bile acids, which are synthesized from cholesterol by the liver, are chemically transformed along the intestinal tract by the gut microbiota, and the products of these transformations signal through host receptors, affecting overall host health. These tran ...

A Magnetic Continuum Device with Variable Stiffness for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Dario Floreano, Alice Tonazzini

One of the challenges of minimally invasive surgery is the dexterous manipulation and precise control of small diameter continuum surgical instruments. In this paper, a magnetic continuum device with variable stiffness (VS) is presented, whose tip can be p ...

Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre

The gastrointestinal tract has recently come to the forefront of multiple research fields. It is now recognized as a major source of signals modulating food intake, insulin secretion and energy balance. It is also a key player in immunity and, through its ...

The microbiota provides colonisation resistance against intestinal helminths by regulating intestinal physiology

Luc Xavier Marie Lebon

Intestinal helminth infections are a global health problem affecting particularly people living in poor countries. Heavy worm burdens can lead to nutritional and cognitive deficiencies. Type-two immunity plays a crucial role in promoting tissue repair and ...

Loss of Sirt1 function improves intestinal anti-bacterial defense and protects from colitis-induced colorectal cancer

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Laurent Mouchiroud, Dongryeol Ryu, Elena Katsyuba, Alessandra Piersigilli, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

Dysfunction of Paneth and goblet cells in the intestine contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Here, we report a role for the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase SIRT1 in the control of anti-bacterial ...
