First Evidence for cos 2 beta > 0 and Resolution of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Quark-Mixing Unitarity Triangle Ambiguity

François Bianchi, Roberto Gargiani, Olivier Schneider, Sun Hee Kim, Tagir Aushev, Gerhard Raven, Mingkui Wang, Marilisa Neri, Liang Sun, Chao Wang, Taoufiq Harach, Songmei Wu, Yong Chan Choi, Greig Alan Cowan, Alexandra Bondarenko, Lorenzo Vitale, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Arnaud Michel Gelb, Aaron James Rossini, Amaury Robert Dame, Gaétan Charles Antoine Giriat, Jun Yong Kim, Mithilesh Nayak, Jiayun Shen, Armend Gazmeno Hati, John Wilson, Tara Nanut, Donghyun Kim, Martin Lubej, Lei Li, Ji Hyun Kim, Yiming Li

We present first evidence that the cosine of the CP-violating weak phase 2 beta is positive, and hence exclude trigonometric multifold solutions of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Unitarity Triangle using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B-0 -> ...

Measurement of the decays Lambda c -> Sigma pi pi at Belle

Roberto Gargiani, Olivier Schneider, Sun Hee Kim, Tagir Aushev, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Taoufiq Harach, Yong Chan Choi, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Arnaud Michel Gelb, Dipanwita Dutta, Gaétan Charles Antoine Giriat, Jun Yong Kim, Jiayun Shen, Tara Nanut, Donghyun Kim, Martin Lubej, Lei Li, Ji Hyun Kim, Yiming Li, Xiao Wang

We report measurements of the branching fractions of the decays Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(+)pi(-)pi(+), Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(0)pi(+)pi(0) and Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(+)pi(0)pi(0) relative to the reference channel Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(-)p(+). The analysis is based ...

Association of brain amyloidosis with pro-inflammatory gut bacterial taxa and peripheral inflammation markers in cognitively impaired elderly

Tristan Bolmont, Taoufiq Harach

The pathway leading from amyloid-b deposition to cognitive impairment is believed to be a cornerstone of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, what drives amyloid buildup in sporadic nongenetic cases of AD is still unknown. AD brains featu ...

Reduction of Abeta amyloid pathology in APPPS1 transgenic mice in the absence of gut microbiota

Theo Lasser, Tristan Bolmont, Nicolas Jean Marc Antoine Duthilleul, Taoufiq Harach

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the western world, however there is no cure available for this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Despite clinical and experimental evidence implicating the intestinal microbiota in a number o ...

TGR5 Activation Inhibits Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Inflammation and Lipid Loading

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been identified as an important component of the bile acid signaling network, and its activation has been linked to enhanced energy expenditure and improved glycemic control. Here, we demonstrate that activation of T ...
