Long-term programming of enhanced aggression by peripuberty stress in female rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana

Human literature has linked adverse early life experiences with an increased risk to develop violent behaviors in both boys and girls. We have previously shown that male rats submitted to stress during the peripuberty period display as adults abnormal aggr ...

Female vulnerability to the development of depression-like behavior in a rat model of intimate partner violence is related to anxious temperament, coping responses, and amygdala vasopressin receptor 1a expression

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier

Exposure to violence is traumatic and an important source of mental health disturbance, yet the factors associated with victimization remain incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate factors related to vulnerability to depres ...

Formation of the Long Range Dpp Morphogen Gradient

Sascha Dalessi, Markus Affolter

The TGF-β homolog Decapentaplegic (Dpp) acts as a secreted morphogen in the Drosophila wing disc, and spreads through the target tissue in order to form a long range concentration gradient. Despite extensive studies, the mechanism by which the Dpp gradient ...

Neurobiological Mechanisms Involved in the Establishment and Maintenance of Dominance Hierarchies and its Modulation by Stress in Rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Marjan Timmer

Stress can have a strong and long lasting effect on the establishment and maintenance of dominance hierarchies in rats. When two rats of a pair have not been stressed (non-stressed pair) before a first social encounter, they establish a dominance hierarchy ...

Identification and Functional Response of "Interstitial Cells of Cajal"-like Cells from Rat Mesenteric Artery

Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

This thesis is a contribution to the field of interstitial cells of Cajal-like cells (ICC-LCs) in the vasculature. Indeed, cells with irregular shapes and numerous long thin filaments, morphologically similar to the gastrointestinal ICCs, have been observe ...

Serotonin, pregnancy and increased autism prevalence: Is there a link?

Nouchine Hadjikhani

The prevalence of autism, a neurodevelopmental condition resulting from genetic and environmental causes, has increased dramatically during the last decade. Among the potential environmental factors, hyperserotonemia during pregnancy and its effect on brai ...

Triplet imaging of oxygen consumption during the contraction of a single smooth muscle cell (A7r5)

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Theo Lasser, Kai Johnsson, Marcel Leutenegger, Boris Hinz, Iwan Märki, Thiemo Spielmann, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

The measurement of tissue and cell oxygenation is important for understanding cell metabolism. We have addressed this problem with a novel optical technique, called triplet imaging, that exploits oxygen-induced triplet lifetime changes and is compatible wi ...

Transmural flow modulates cell and fluid transport functions of lymphatic endothelium

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Joseph Rutkowski, James Brandon Dixon, Dimana Miteva

RATIONALE: Lymphatic transport of peripheral interstitial fluid and dendritic cells (DCs) is important for both adaptive immunity and maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens. Lymphatic drainage can change rapidly and dramatically on tissue injury or infl ...

The 2DX robot: a membrane protein 2D crystallization Swiss Army knife

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Andreas Engel, Mircea Ioan Iacovache

Among the state-of-the-art techniques that provide experimental information at atomic scale for membrane proteins, electron crystallography, atomic force microscopy and solid state NMR make use of two-dimensional crystals. We present a cyclodextrin-driven ...
