Loss of MITF expression during human embryonic stem cell differentiation disrupts retinal pigment epithelium development and optic vesicle cell proliferation

Bernard Schneider

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a master regulator of pigmented cell survival and differentiation with direct transcriptional links to cell cycle, apoptosis and pigmentation. In mouse, Mitf is expressed early and uniformly in optic ...

Undirected compensatory plasticity contributes to neuronal dysfunction after severe spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant

Severe spinal cord injury in humans leads to a progressive neuronal dysfunction in the chronic stage of the injury. This dysfunction is characterized by premature exhaustion of muscle activity during assisted locomotion, which is associated with the emerge ...

General developmental health in the VPA-rat model of autism

Henry Markram, Kamila Markram, Georges Khazen, Mônica Regina Favre

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition diagnosed by impaired social interaction, abnormal communication and, stereotyped behaviors. While post-mortem and imaging studies have provided good insights into the neurobiological symptomology of autism, animal ...

Constitutive gray hair in Mice induced by Melanocyte-specific deletion of c-Myc

Friedrich Beermann, Karine Schouwey, Marzia Armaro

c-Myc is involved in the control of diverse cellular processes and implicated in the maintenance of different tissues including the neural crest. Here we report that c-Myc is particularly important for pigment cell development and homeostasis. Targeting c- ...

Sox10 promotes the formation and maintenance of giant congenital naevi and melanoma

Yann Barrandon, Friedrich Beermann, Stéphanie Claudinot, Lukas Sommer

Giant congenital naevi are pigmented childhood lesions that frequently lead to melanoma, the most aggressive skin cancer. The mechanisms underlying this malignancy are largely unknown, and there are no effective therapies. Here we describe a mouse model fo ...

Role of the Glyoxalase System in Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroprotection

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Thierry Laroche, Jiangyan Yang, Jean-Marie Petit

The glyoxalase system is the most important pathway for the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound mainly formed as a by-product of glycolysis. MG is a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which ar ...

Micropatterning neural cell cultures in 3D with a multi-layered scaffold

Philippe Renaud, Michele Giugliano, Ana Valero, Anja Kunze

Cortical neurons, in their native state, are organized in six different cell layers; and the thickness of the cell layer ranges from 0.12 mm to 0.4 mm. The structure of cell layers plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases or corticogenesis. We ...
