Robust gamma-aminobutyric acid and energy metabolism measurements by proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fingerprinting

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the only technique that can detect endogenous metabolites directly and non-invasively in vivo. It allows to identify different metabolites and analyze the dynamic neurochemical processes in the brain, skeletal muscl ...

Molecular Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Fate during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Aging

Sara Ancel

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the primary source of myogenic progenitors during muscle repair and are essential for the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Following myofiber injury, MuSCs transition from a quiescent to an activated state, ...

Mathematical and numerical models for the cardiac electromechanical function

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

This paper deals with the mathematical model that describes the function of the human heart. More specifically, it addresses the equations that express the electromechanical process, that is the mechanical deformation (contraction and relaxation) of the he ...

Development and applications of hyperpolarized 13C and 1H MR spectroscopy of cerebral metabolism at ultra-high field

Emmanuelle Ines Flatt

This thesis is composed of four studies centered on investigating cerebral metabolism using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of hyperpolarized and non-hyperpolarized compounds at ultra-high field. In the first two chapters, we studied longitudinally t ...

Biophysically detailed mathematical models of multiscale cardiac active mechanics

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

Author summary Computer-based numerical simulations of the heart are increasingly assuming a recognized role in the context of computational medicine and cardiology. They are based on mathematical models describing the different physical phenomena occurrin ...

Nicotinamide riboside supplementation alters body composition and skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine concentrations in healthy obese humans

Johan Auwerx, Richardus Houtkooper

Background: Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is an NAD(+) precursor that boosts cellular NAD(+) concentrations. Preclinical studies have shown profound metabolic health effects after NR supplementation. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effects of 6 wk NR ...

Metabolic rescue of muscle and muscle stem cells in muscle disease

Peiling Luan

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by the mutation of dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3500 males, leading to progressive muscle degeneration and eventually resulting in premature death. Increasing evidence indicates that D ...

Ultra high magnetic field for glial contribution into brain metabolism studied by MR spectroscopy and CEST methods for molecular imaging of glycogen

Elise Marie Catherine Vinckenbosch

Magnetic resonance at ultra-high field increases signal and spectral dispersion. In this thesis, I use those characteristics to investigate three different subjects in 13C spectroscopy, hyperpolarized methods and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST ...

Assessing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity in kidney using hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Steffen Frederic Frank

Hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly provides a non-invasive means to detect γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme activity in vivo with potential for application in functional imaging. Since GGT is most abundant in the proximal tubules of the kidney, and sinc ...

Mitochondria! function is impaired in the skeletal muscle of pre-frail elderly

Johan Auwerx, Pénélope Andreux

Aging is accompanied by a gradual decline in both muscle mass and strength over time, which can eventually lead to pathologies, such as frailty and sarcopenia. While these two conditions are well characterized, further investigation of the early biological ...
