Organ Neuroprosthetics: Connecting Transplanted and Artificial Organs with the Nervous System
Implantable neural interfaces with the central and peripheral nervous systems are currently used to restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions in disabled people with very promising results. They have also been used to modulate autonomic activities to ...
Wiley2024NAD(+) Metabolism and Interventions in Premature Renal Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease
Premature aging causes morphological and functional changes in the kidney, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a global public health issue with far-reaching consequences, including cardio-vascular complications, increased frailty, shortened li ...
MDPI2023New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys.
Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...
EPFL2023Assessment of Stiffness of Large to Small Arteries in Multistage Renal Disease Model: A Numerical Study
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers
Arterial stiffness (AS), as assessed via pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a major biomarker for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanisms responsible for the changes in PWV in the presence of kidney ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Identification of genes required for host-cell adhesion and antibiotic persistence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli via high-content screening
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common bacterial pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Driven by the development of antibiotic resistant UPEC strains, UTIs have become a major public health issue and generate substantial hea ...
EPFL2022Probing renal pH using hyperpolarized [1-13C]alaninamide
Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli
Hyperpolarized molecular probes can be effectively used as pH markers. To date, the only two probes reported in vivo as extracellular pH sensors are 13C-bicarbonate, and [1,5-13C2]zymonic acid. Alaninamide is a derivative of alanine which is found to be se ...
