Rescue of secretion of rare-disease-associated misfolded mutant glycoproteins in UGGT1 knock-out mammalian cells

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of misfolded glycoproteins is mediated by the ER-localized eukaryotic glycoprotein secretion checkpoint, UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyl-transferase (UGGT). The enzyme recognizes a misfolded glycoprotein and flags it ...

Variants in USP48 encoding ubiquitin hydrolase are associated with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hereditary hearing loss

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

Non-Syndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss (NSHHL) is a genetically heterogeneous sensory disorder with about 120 genes already associated. Through exome sequencing (ES) and data aggregation, we identified a family with six affected individuals and one unrelate ...

Mechanical Properties of Soft Biological Membranes for Organ-on-a-Chip Assessed by Bulge Test and AFM

Georg Fantner, Johann Michler, Veronika Cencen

Advanced in vitro models called “organ-on-a-chip” can mimic the specific cellular environment found in various tissues. Many of these models include a thin, sometimes flexible, membrane aimed at mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold of in vivo ...

High-throughput and adaptive super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of organelles

Dora Mahecic

Fluorescence super-resolution microscopy has allowed unprecedented insight into the workings of biological systems below the diffraction limit of light. Over the past decade, it has overcome several challenges to deliver 3D, multi-color and faster imaging ...

Ultra-Low-Power Intelligent Acoustic Sensing using Cochlea-Inspired Feature Extraction and DNN Classification

Christian Enz, Minhao Yang

We present our recent progress in ultra-low-power intelligent acoustic sensing that harnesses the high power and energy efficiency of cochlea-like analog feature extraction and binarized neural network classification. Compared with conventional methods inc ...

Optical proximity sensing system for atraumatic cochea implant surgery

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Christophe Moser, Ye Pu

The design of a proximity sensor to be integrated into cochlea implants is described. The sensor allows the anticipation of contact between the cochlear implant and intracochlear structures, including the cochlear canal wall and basilar membrane, providing ...

Intercellular ultrafast calcium wave in vascular smooth muscle cells

Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Communication between vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) allows control of their contraction and so regulation of blood flow. The contractile state of SMCs is controled by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) which propagates as Ca2+ waves over a signif ...

Resonant neurons and bushcricket behaviour

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli

The resonant properties of the intrinsic dynamics of single neurons could play a direct role in behaviour. One plausible role is in the recognition of temporal patterns, such as that seen in the auditory communication systems of Orthoptera. Recent behaviou ...
