Deciphering the molecular events leading to the global restoration of the chromatin landscape during mitotic exit

Two fundamental properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are their ability to self-renew and differentiate into all somatic cell types. Maintenance of their identity faces major challenges when transitioning through mitosis, as most DNA-binding proteins a ...

EPFL2023

Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...

EPFL2020

The use of modern molecular biology tools and simple but powerful tractable model organisms such as Drosophila has contributed significantly to our recent advances in the innate immunity field, notably phagocytosis. Since 2001, many phagocytic transmembran ...

Cellular biology is a promising field of application for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) given that large strains are needed but only low forces are required. The development of devices compatible with standard cell culture protocols and equipment is ...

Hox gene clusters of jaw vertebrates display a tight genomic organization, which has no equivalent in any other bilateria genomes sequenced thus far. It was previously argued that such a topological consolidation toward a condensed, metagenic structure was ...

An interplay between the p38 MAPK pathway and AUBPs regulates c-fos mRNA stability during mitogenic stimulation

Diego Chiappe, Tamara Tanos

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways constitute key regulatory elements linking extracellular stimuli to nuclear gene expression. Immediate-early responsive genes (IEGs) of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, such as fos, achieve peak expres ...

Identification of potential HIV restriction factors by combining evolutionary genomic signatures with functional analyses

Amalio Telenti, Danielle Thompson, Daniel Sauter, Jérémie Perreaud

Background: Known antiretroviral restriction factors are encoded by genes that are under positive selection pressure, induced during HIV-1 infection, up-regulated by interferons, and/or interact with viral proteins. To identify potential novel restriction ...

Enhanced Plasmid DNA Utilization in Transiently Transfected CHO-DG44 Cells in the Presence of Polar Solvents

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Although the protein yields from transient gene expression (TGE) with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have recently improved, the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) needed for transfection remains relatively high. We describe a strategy to reduce the pDNA amou ...

Data Repository for Automated Metabolomics Administration (DRAMA)

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira, Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy

DRAMA framework was primarily developed with the purpose of facilitating data integration into genome scale models (GEM) of cellular metabolism. The existence of differently annotated genome scale models and metabolomics datasets that are provided without ...

Adaptation of short-term plasticity parameters via error-driven learning may explain the correlation between activity-dependent synaptic properties, connectivity motifs and target specificity

Michele Giugliano, Eleni Vasilaki

The anatomical connectivity among neurons has been experimentally found to be largely non-random across brain areas. This means that certain connectivity motifs occur at a higher frequency than would be expected by chance. Of particular interest, short-ter ...
