Culture of preantral follicles in poly(ethylene) glycol-based, three-dimensional hydrogel: a relationship between swelling ratio and follicular developments

This study was undertaken to examine how the softness of poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG)-based hydrogels, creating a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment, influences the in vitro growth of mouse ovarian follicles. Early secondary, preantral follicles of 2we ...

Rediscovering a Key Interface in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Guanidinium and Iodine Competition for Binding Sites at the Dye/Electrolyte Surface

Robin Humphry-Baker, Xiong Li, Xavier Adrian Jeanbourquin

We propose a new mechanism by which the common electrolyte additive guanidinium thiocyanate (GdmSCN) improves efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We demonstrate that binding of Gdm(+) to TiO2 is weak and does not passivate recombination sites ...

Circadian Clock Characteristics Are Altered in Human Thyroid Malignant Nodules

Daniel Sage, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Olivia Mariani

Context: The circadian clock represents the body's molecular time-keeping system. Recent findings revealed strong changes of clock gene expression in various types of human cancers. Objective: Due to emerging evidence on the connection between the circadia ...

Measured binding coefficients for iodine and ruthenium dyes; implications for recombination in dye sensitised solar cells

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Robin Humphry-Baker, Filippo de Angelis, Xiong Li

We have measured the binding coefficients of iodine to three dyes used in Dye Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSCs). Binding coefficients are quantified via the effect of iodine binding on the UV-vis spectrum of the dye. From iodine titration curves of dye sensit ...

Serum Bile Acids Are Higher in Humans With Prior Gastric Bypass: Potential Contribution to Improved Glucose and Lipid Metabolism

Johan Auwerx

The multifactorial mechanisms promoting weight loss and improved metabolism following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) surgery remain incompletely understood. Recent rodent studies suggest that bile acids can mediate energy homeostasis by activating the G-pro ...

Retinoic acid signaling organizes endodermal organ specification along the entire antero-posterior axis

Anne Grapin-Botton

BACKGROUND: Endoderm organ primordia become specified between gastrulation and gut tube folding in Amniotes. Although the requirement for RA signaling for the development of a few individual endoderm organs has been established a systematic assessment of i ...

Rostral and caudal pharyngeal arches share a common neural crest ground pattern

Denis Duboule

In vertebrates, face and throat structures, such as jaw, hyoid and thyroid cartilages develop from a rostrocaudal metameric series of pharyngeal arches, colonized by cranial neural crest cells (NCCs). Colinear Hox gene expression patterns underlie arch spe ...

Methods for increasing cellular energy expenditure

Johan Auwerx

The present invention is directed to methods of treating a human for a variety of conditions by administering an agonist of the G protein coupled receptor TGR5. In addition, the invention includes methods for determining whether a test compound is likely t ...

Identification of a novel modulator of thyroid hormone receptor-mediated action

Jordi Duran

Diabetes is characterized by reduced thyroid function and altered myogenesis after muscle injury. Here we identify a novel component of thyroid hormone action that is repressed in diabetic rat muscle. ...

Studies of the common DIO2 Thr92Ala polymorphism and metabolic phenotypes in 7342 Danish white subjects

Johan Auwerx

CONTEXT: The type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) catalyzes the conversion of T(4) to the active form of thyroid hormone, which is a critical regulator of thermogenesis and glucose metabolism. A Thr92Ala polymorphism in the gene encoding D2 (DIO2) has been ...
