TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf, Fernando Romero Balestra, Tessa Vivianne Averink, Alizée Buff

TRIM37 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase mutated in Mulibrey nanism, a disease with impaired organ growth and increased tumor formation. TRIM37 depletion from tissue culture cells results in supernumerary foci bearing the centriolar protein Centrin. Here, we chara ...

Prior exercise in humans redistributes intramuscular GLUT4 and enhances insulin -stimulated sarcolemmal and endosomal GLUT4 translocation

Objective: Exercise is a cornerstone in the management of skeletal muscle insulin-resistance. A well-established benefit of a single bout of exercise is increased insulin sensitivity for hours post-exercise in the previously exercised musculature. Although ...

Combined deletion of Glut1 and Glut3 impairs lung adenocarcinoma growth

Rolf Gruetter, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Bernard Lanz, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nadine Fournier, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Etienne Meylan, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Inti Zlobec, Justine Pascual, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey, Silvia Sabatino, Anouk Rossier

Glucose utilization increases in tumors, a metabolic process that is observed clinically by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG-PET). However, is increased glucose uptake important for tumor cells, and which transporters are impl ...

The ULK1/2 and AMPK Inhibitor SBI-0206965 Blocks AICAR and Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport

The small molecule kinase inhibitor SBI-0206965 was originally described as a specific inhibitor of ULK1/2. More recently, it was reported to effectively inhibit AMPK and several studies now report its use as an AMPK inhibitor. Currently, we investigated t ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acromegaly: Evaluating the role of the biological effective dose associated with endocrine remission in a series of 42 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a valuable treatment option for persistent and/or recurrent acromegaly secondary to growth hormone (GH) secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Here, we assess the role of biological effective dose (BED) received b ...

At the Intersection of Microbiota and Circadian Clock: Are Sexual Dimorphism and Growth Hormones the Missing Link to Pathology? Circadian Clock and Microbiota: Potential Egffect on Growth Hormone and Sexual Development

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

Reciprocal interactions between the host circadian clock and the microbiota are evidenced by recent literature. Interestingly, dysregulation of either the circadian clock or microbiota is associated with common human pathologies such as obesity, type 2 dia ...

Extracellular Matrix-Inspired Growth Factor Delivery Systems for Skin Wound Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Significance: Growth factors are very promising molecules for the treatment of skin wounds. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems may derive from the fa ...

Bio-engineered collagen-fibrin scaffolds for enhancing urological tissue regeneration

Elif Vardar

Urological tissue engineering offers alternative solutions for congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, which may require reconstructive surgery. It evolves to overcome complications, which might be encountered after surgery. Therefore, tissu ...

Extracellular matrix-inspired growth factor delivery systems for bone regeneration

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Growth factors are very promising molecules to enhance bone regeneration. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems derive from the vastly supra-physiologic ...

Impact of environmental estrogens on fish considering the diversity of estrogen signaling

Research on endocrine disruption in fish has been dominated by studies on estrogen-active compounds which act as mimics of the natural estrogen, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and generally exert their biological actions by binding to and activation of estrogen r ...

Engineered insulin-like growth factor-1 for improved smooth muscle regeneration

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Kristen Lorentz, Lirong Yang

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been shown to induce potent mitogenic responses in various cell types, yet its sustained local delivery is still an underdeveloped domain in the clinic. We report here an engineered IGF-1 that facilitates extended l ...

Hydrogels for Urinary Tract Tissue Engineering

Lionel Ambroise Micol

Several urinary tract disorders, such as hypospadias or bladder cancer, require reconstructive surgery to preserve the patient's quality of life and at times even save their life. The current available surgical treatments, involving grafts from other tissu ...

Biofunctional Scaffold Design for Soft Tissue Regeneration

Kristen Lorentz

Fibrin has long been used clinically for hemostasis and sealing and has been extensively characterized as a biomaterial. Yet, in terms of harnessing its potential for use in tissue regeneration, there remains a wide gap between in vitro experimentation and ...

HRG inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by inducing macrophage polarization and vessel normalization through downregulation of PlGF

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Damya Laoui

Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to a proangiogenic/immune-suppressive (M2-like) phenotype and abnormal, hypoperfused vessels are hallmarks of malignancy, but their molecular basis and interrelationship remains enigmatic. We report that ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Lirong Yang

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...

Nerve growth factor- and neurotrophin-3-releasing guidance channels promote regeneration of the transected rat dorsal root

Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche, Eric Garrison Fine

Dorsal roots have a limited regeneration capacity after transection. To improve nerve regeneration, the growth-promoting effects of the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) were evalua ...
