Development of stimuli-responsive chemistry for tumor-targeted immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy is the science of boosting the immune response of patients to fight cancer. Recent advances have brought up treatments with huge success in the clinic. Patients with ad-vanced-stage cancers were long-term cured through checkpoint inhib ...

Cell-type-specific nicotinic input disinhibits mouse barrel cortex during active sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Célia Roxane Gasselin, Benoît Hohl

Fast synaptic transmission relies upon the activation of ionotropic receptors by neurotransmitter release to evoke postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate and GABA play dominant roles in driving highly dynamic activity in synaptically connected neuronal circuit ...

Electrochemical determination of nicotine in smokers' sweat

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic

In this work, we report the demonstration of the capability of electrochemical sensors to provide measurements directly on the sweat of volunteers to successfully discriminate heavy smokers by light ones. Since its importance as pharmaceutical treatment-ag ...

Receptor-induced transient responses in cells with oscillatory actin dynamics

Jose Negrete Jr

Living cells adjust their sensing and migratory machinery in response to changes in their environment. In this work, we show that cells of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum modulate the dynamical state of their actin cytoskeleton in response to an ...

Nicotine increases sleep spindle activity

Christian O'Reilly

Studies have shown that both nicotine and sleep spindles are associated with enhanced memorisation. Further, a few recent studies have shown how cholinergic input through nicotinic and muscarinic receptors can trigger or modulate sleep processes in general ...

Specific and total N -nitrosamines formation potentials of nitrogenous micropollutants during chloramination

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Caroline Gachet Aquillon, Andrea Piazzoli

N-nitrosamines are a group of potent human carcinogens that can be formed during oxidative treatment of drinking water and wastewater. Many tertiary and quaternary amines present in consumer products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, personal care and household prod ...

Glycosphingolipid metabolism in cell fate specification

Giovanni D'Angelo, Laura Capolupo, Jaipreet Singh Loomba

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic plasma membranes that consist of a ceramide backbone linked to a glycan moiety. Both the ceramide and the glycan parts of GSLs display structural variations that result in a remarkable reper ...

Hierarchical status predicts behavioral vulnerability and nucleus accumbens metabolic profile following chronic social defeat stress

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Thomas Didier Larrieu, Maria Aranzazu Duque Moreno

Extensive data highlight the existence of major differences in individuals’ susceptibility to stress [1; 2; 3 ; 4]. While genetic factors [5 ; 6] and exposure to early life stress [7 ; 8] are key components for such neurobehavioral diversity, intriguing ob ...

Quantification of Total N-Nitrosamine Concentrations in Aqueous Samples via UV-Photolysis and Chemiluminescence Detection of Nitric Oxide

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

N-Nitrosamines are potent mutagens and carcinogens that can be formed during oxidative water treatment. This study describes a novel method for the determination of total N-nitrosamines by UV-photolysis and subsequent chemiluminescence detection of nitric ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...
