Modelling Human Perception of Facial Expressions by Discrete Choice Models

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Sorci, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

Facial expression recognition is a hard and ambiguous problem in computer vision. It is hard due to the wide variety of faces and the wide variety of ways of representing the same expression. And it is ambiguous because, even though common approaches treat ...

Interfering residues narrow the spectrum of MLV restriction by human TRIM5alpha

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Séverine Reynard, Pierre Maillard

TRIM5alpha is a restriction factor that limits infection of human cells by so-called N- but not B- or NB-tropic strains of murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we performed a mutation-based functional analysis of TRIM5alpha-mediated MLV restriction. Our resu ...

Compromised intestinal lipid absorption in mice with a liver-specific deficiency of liver receptor homolog 1

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

Bile acids (BAs) are water-soluble end products from cholesterol metabolism and are essential for efficient absorption of dietary lipids. By using targeted somatic mutagenesis of the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) in mouse hepatocytes, w ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ebs1p is a putative ortholog of human Smg7 and promotes nonsense mediated mRNA decay

Joachim Lingner

The Smg proteins Smg5, Smg6 and Smg7 are involved in nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) in metazoans, but no orthologs have been found in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequence alignments reveal that yeast Ebs1p is similar in structure to the ...

Neural basis of embodiment: distinct contributions of temporoparietal junction and extrastriate body area

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Embodiment, the sense of being localized within one's physical body, is a fundamental aspect of the self. Recently, researchers have started to show that self and body processing require distinct brain mechanisms, suggesting two posterior brain regions as ...

An investigation into therapies for atrial arrythmias using a biophysical model of the human atria

Lam Dang

The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting about 2% of the general population and 8% to 11% of the elderly, more than 65 years of age. The treatment of atrial arrythmia is still based on empirical considerations and ...

Lipid and bile acid analysis

Johan Auwerx

Lipids are important body constituents that are vital for cellular, tissue, and whole-body homeostasis. Lipids serve as crucial membrane components, constitute the body's main energy reservoir, and are important signaling molecules. As a consequence of the ...

Perceptual aberrations impair mental own-body transformations

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Peter Andreas Brugger

Dysfunctional self and bodily processing have been reported from the schizophrenia spectrum. Here, the authors tested 72 students (40 women) to determine whether performance in a mental own-body transformation task relates to self-rated frequency of sponta ...

Head-tail patterning of the vertebrate embryo: one, two or many unresolved problems?

Denis Duboule

When, where and how is the head-tail axis of the embryo set up during development? These are such fundamental and intensely studied questions that one might expect them to have been answered long ago. Not so; we still understand very little about the cellu ...

Thin chip microsprayer system coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer for glycoconjugate analysis

Hubert Girault, Niels Erik Lion, Joël Stéphane Rossier

A thin chip polymer-based microsprayer has been coupled to a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (QTOF MS) and introduced in carbohydrate research. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated for mapping, sequencing and structural elucid ...
