Method and system for determining intracellular mediators' activity

Philippe Renaud, Horst Vogel, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Thamani Dahoun, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

A method for determining the presence of a molecule coupled to the cytoplasmic side of a cellular membrane is disclosed. The method is implemented in a microfluidic setting and is particularly suitable for determining the presence and/or the activity of a ...

Microfluidic device performing on flow study of serial cell–cell interactions of two cell populations

Philippe Renaud, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, George Coukos, Thamani Dahoun, Alexandre Harari, Marion Arnaud

In this study we present a novel microfluidic hydrodynamic trapping device to probe the cell–cell interaction between all cell samples of two distinct populations. We have exploited an hydrodynamic trapping method using microfluidics to immobilize a batch ...

Advancing Drug Discovery via Artificial Intelligence

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan, Thamani Dahoun

Drug discovery and development are among the most important translational science activities that contribute to human health and wellbeing. However, the development of a new drug is a very complex, expensive, and long process which typically costs 2.6 bill ...

Computational modeling of the olfactory receptor Olfr73 suggests a molecular basis for low potency of olfactory receptor-activating compounds

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Shuguang Yuan, Thamani Dahoun, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

The mammalian olfactory system uses hundreds of specialized G-protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) to discriminate a nearly unlimited number of odorants. Cognate agonists of most ORs have not yet been identified and potential non-olfactory processes m ...

New Binding Sites, New Opportunities for GPCR Drug Discovery

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan, Thamani Dahoun, Yen-Huan Li, Yifan Li

Many central biological events rely on protein-ligand interactions. The identification and characterization of protein-binding sites for ligands are crucial for the understanding of functions of both endogenous ligands and synthetic drug molecules. G prote ...

Functional Characterization of the Mouse Olfactory Receptor mOR256-17 in Live Cells

Thamani Dahoun

Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system to recognize and discriminate a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorant molecules. The molecul ...

Recombinant expression and functional characterization of the mouse olfactory receptor mOR256-17 in mammalian cells

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Luigino Grasso, Thamani Dahoun

Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system in recognizing and discriminating a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorous molecules. The mol ...
