Trans-anethole Induces Thermogenesis via Activating SERCA/SLN Axis in C2C12 Muscle Cells

Recently, adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis has attracted considerable attention because it can elevate energy expenditure and help treat obesity. Despite the numerous reports related to UCP1-driven thermogenesis, little is known regarding UCP1-independ ...

GRASP55 regulates intra-Golgi localization of glycosylation enzymes to control glycosphingolipid biosynthesis

Giovanni D'Angelo, Charlotte Julie Caroline Gehin, Laura Capolupo, Riccardo Rizzo

The Golgi apparatus, the main glycosylation station of the cell, consists of a stack of discontinuous cisternae. Glycosylation enzymes are usually concentrated in one or two specific cisternae along the cis-trans axis of the organelle. How such compartment ...

Non-equilibrium kinetics and trajectory thermodynamics of synthetic molecular pumps

Cristian Pezzato

A major goal in the design of synthetic molecular machines is the creation of pumps that can use the input of energy to transport material from a reservoir at low chemical potential to a different reservoir at higher chemical potential, thereby forming and ...

The chromatin remodeller Chd7 and the calcium ATPase Serca2 - adding new facets to the role of Notch in Hematopoiesis and T-ALL

Monique Coersmeyer

Project I: Chd7 Deficiency does not affect N1-driven T-ALL Induction and Maintenance nor impair Hematopoiesis Notch1 has been shown to be a key driver in pediatric T-cell acute lymphobastic leukemia (T-ALL). Previous work in the lab identified the chromati ...

Propagation of fast and slow intercellular Ca2+ waves in primary cultured arterial smooth muscle cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Nadia Halidi

Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+). In response to stimulation, Ca2+ increase in a single cell can propagate to neighbouring cells through gap junctions, as intercellular Ca2+ waves. To investigate ...

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 ...

Identification and functional response of interstitial Cajal-like cells from rat mesenteric artery

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

Cells with irregular shapes, numerous long thin filaments, and morphological similarities to the gastrointestinal interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) have been observed in the wall of some blood vessels. These ICC-like cells (ICC-LCs) do not correspond to t ...

Comparison of T-1 Relaxation Times of the Neurochemical Profile in Rat Brain at 9.4 Tesla and 14.1 Tesla

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu

Knowledge of T-1 relaxation times can be important for accurate relative and absolute quantification of brain metabolites, for sensitivity optimizations, for characterizing molecular dynamics, and for studying changes induced by various pathological condit ...

Stretch-elicited calcium responses in the intact mouse thoracic aorta

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény

Stretch-elicited intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) changes in individual smooth muscle cells in a ring of aorta were measured simultaneously with the force developed by the ring. A phasic increase in Ca(2+) was observed in 30% of the cells and a sus ...

A theoretical model of the cellular calcium dynamics and vasomotion in muscular arteries

Michèle Koenigsberger

Muscular arteries possess the ability to control actively their lumen by altering the tone of the smooth muscle cells of the arterial wall, a property which is vital for a large number of the hemodynamical functions of the body. Arterial contraction is due ...
