Hookworms Evade Host Immunity by Secreting a Deoxyribonuclease to Degrade Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Nicola Harris, Beatrice Volpe, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah, Manuel Kulagin, Mati André Marie Moyat

Hookworms cause a major neglected tropical disease, occurring after larvae penetrate the host skin. Neutrophils are phagocytes that kill large pathogens by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), but whether they target hookworms during skin infec ...

Virus-Mediated Cell-Cell Fusion

Cell-cell fusion between eukaryotic cells is a general process involved in many physiological and pathological conditions, including infections by bacteria, parasites, and viruses. As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses use intracellular machineries ...

Music in premature infants enhances high-level cognitive brain networks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, François Lazeyras

Neonatal intensive care units are willing to apply environmental enrichment via music for preterm newborns. However, no evidence of an effect of music on preterm brain development has been reported to date. Using resting-state fMRI, we characterized a circ ...

Music processing in preterm and full-term newborns: A psychophysiological interaction (PPI) approach in neonatal fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Serafeim Loukas, François Lazeyras

Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide special equipment designed to give life support for the increasing number of prematurely born infants and assure their survival. More recently NICU's strive to include developmentally oriented care and modulate ...

Longitudinal study of neonatal brain tissue volumes in preterm infants and their ability to predict neurodevelopmental outcome

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

Premature birth has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the relation between such outcomes and brain growth in the neonatal period has not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigates longitudinal brain development between ...

Monitoring Tuberculosis Drug Activity in Live Animals by Using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging

Stewart Cole, Raphael Christopher Sommer

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to infection with a single pathogenic agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the absence of an effective vaccine, new, more powerful antibiotics are required to halt the growing spread of multid ...

Human genomics of acute liver failure due to hepatitis B virus infection: An exome sequencing study in liver transplant recipients

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Nimisha Chaturvedi, Petar Scepanovic, Samira Asgari

Acute liver failure (ALF) or fulminant hepatitis is a rare, yet severe outcome of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) that carries a high mortality rate. The occurrence of a life-threatening condition upon infection with a prevalent virus in individuals ...

Single-cell studies of Mycobacterium smegmatis cell cycle using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy

Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is one of the most primordial cellular processes and is essential for life propagation. It is composed of crucial events, namely genome duplication, chromosomes segregation and membrane separation. Failure of these processes will have dramati ...

Mass Spectrometry Methods for Bacterial Infection Diagnosis and Cancer Analysis

Yingdi Zhu

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry is an important analytical tool in chemistry and biology. Bearing the advantages of easy-to-use, fast measurements and relatively simple data interpretation, MALDI-T ...

A Rapid Unraveling of the Activity and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Mycobacteria

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Leonardo Venturelli

The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a worldwide health-related emergency that calls for new tools to study the bacterial metabolism and to obtain fast diagnoses. Indeed, the conventional analysis time scale is too long and affects our abili ...
