A Rapidly Responsive Sensor for Wireless Detection of Early and Mature Microbial Biofilms

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Bhawna Nagar, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva

Biofilm-associated infections, which are able to resist antibiotics, pose a significant challenge in clinical treatments. Such infections have been linked to various medical conditions, including chronic wounds and implant-associated infections, making the ...

Following spatial A beta aggregation dynamics in evolving Alzheimer's disease pathology by imaging stable isotope labeling kinetics

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Melissa Kathleen Passarelli

beta-Amyloid (A beta) plaque formation is the major pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and constitutes a potentially critical, early inducer driving AD pathogenesis as it precedes other pathological events and cognitive symptoms by decades. ...

Cardiotrophin-1 Deficiency Abrogates Atherosclerosis Progression

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We investigated the effect of CT-1 deficiency in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in double knockout Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) mice. Apoe(-/-) C57Bl/6 or Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) ...

Caries Detection with Near-Infrared Transillumination Using Deep Learning

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Taylor Howard Newton, Francesco Casalegno

Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic condition worldwide. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Recently, near-infrared transillumination (TI) imaging has been shown to be effective ...

Scaffold requirements for periodontal regeneration with enamel matrix derivative proteins

John Christopher Plummer, Laurent Mirko Dejace, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Peter Fischer

Periodontitis affects the attachment of natural teeth, and infection or inflammation associated with periodontitis may affect peri-implant tissues. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) proteins provide stimulation for self-regeneration of the damaged tissue when ...

Ultrafast laser ablation for targeted atherosclerotic plaque removal

Laurent Descloux, Demetri Psaltis, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Thomas Jean Victor Marie Lanvin

Coronary artery disease, the main cause of heart disease, develops as immune cells and lipids accumulate into plaques within the coronary arterial wall. As a plaque grows, the tissue layer (fibrous cap) separating it from the blood flow becomes thinner and ...

Identification of new Presenilin-1 phosphosites: implication for gamma-secretase activity and A beta production

Patrick Fraering, Romain Hamelin, Mitko Dimitrov, Marc Moniatte, Sébastien Mosser, Alexandre Matz, Blanka Halamoda

An important pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the deposition of amyloid-beta (A) peptides in the brain parenchyma, leading to neuronal death and impaired learning and memory. The protease -secretase is responsible for the intramembrane ...

EARLY-ONSET DYSFUNCTION OF RETROSPLENIAL CORTEX PRECEDES OVERT AMYLOID PLAQUE FORMATION IN Tg2576 MICE

Guillaume Poirier

A mouse model of amyloid pathology was used to first examine using a cross sectional design changes in retrosplenial cortex activity in transgenic mice aged 5, 11, 17, and 23 months. Attention focused on: (1) overt amyloid labeled with beta-amyloid((1-42)) ...
