Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Animal models of human pathologies remain invaluable tools for unraveling disease mechanisms and evaluating potential therapeutic strategies. For a number of diseases, the lack of a reliable animal model represents an important limiting step towards the de ...
Haematopoeitic system diseases, both acquired and inherited, can be currently cured by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This treatment provides highly successful immune function recovery for patients receiving grafts of HLA-compatible d ...
Transgenic animals are essential research tools, whether to address basic biological questions or to develop preclinical models of human diseases. Their generation through the injection of naked plasmid DNA into the male pronucleus of a fertilized oocyte h ...
A dominant mutation in the gene coding for the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB) was associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal paralytic disorder characterized by the selective loss of motoneurons in the brain and ...
A major challenge in neurological gene therapy is delivery of the transgene to sufficient cell numbers in an atraumatic manner. This is particularly difficult for motor neuron (MN) diseases that have cells located across the entire spinal cord, brain stem, ...
BACKGROUND: Gene transfer to nociceptive neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) is a promising approach to dissect mechanisms of pain in rodents and is a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of persistent pain disorders such as neuropathic pa ...
RNAi holds promise for neurodegenerative disorders caused by gain-of-function mutations. We and others have demonstrated proof-of-principle for viral-mediated RNAi in a mouse model of motor neuron disease. Lentivirus and adeno-associated virus have been us ...
Recombinant cell line generation by standard transfection techniques is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process often leading to an unpredictable outcome as transgene integration is a rare, random event. Consequently, the population of cells obtained ...
Lentiviral vectors have emerged over the last decade as powerful, reliable, and safe tools for stable gene transfer in a wide variety of mammalian cells. Unlike other vectors derived from oncoretroviruses, they allow for stable gene delivery into most nond ...
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited peroxisomal disorder characterized by a progressive demyelination of the central nervous system. The marked loss of myelin and oligodendrocytes observed in the disease prompted us to evalua ...
