Trigonelline is an NAD+ precursor that improves muscle function during ageing and is reduced in human sarcopenia

Mitochondrial dysfunction and low nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) levels are hallmarks of skeletal muscle ageing and sarcopenia(1,2,3), but it is unclear whether these defects result from local changes or can be mediated by systemic or dietary c ...

Evidence for inefficient contraction and abnormal mitochondrial activity in sarcopenia using magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Jérome Feige

BackgroundMitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in sarcopenia. P-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) enables non-invasive measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis rates to probe mitochondrial function. Here, we assessed muscle ene ...

In vivo transcriptomic profiling using cell encapsulation identifies effector pathways of systemic aging

Nicolas Bouche, Christophe Boss, Patrick Descombes, Filippo De Franceschi, Sylviane Métairon, Jérome Feige, Omid Mashinchian

Sustained exposure to a young systemic environment rejuvenates aged organisms and promotes cellular function. However, due to the intrinsic complexity of tissues it remains challenging to pinpoint niche-independent effects of circulating factors on specifi ...

An engineered multicellular stem cell niche for the 3D derivation of human myogenic progenitors from iPSCs

Matthias Lütolf, Jérome Feige, Omid Mashinchian

Fate decisions in the embryo are controlled by a plethora of microenvironmental interactions in a three-dimensional niche. To investigate whether aspects of this microenvironmental complexity can be engineered to direct myogenic human-induced pluripotent s ...

Nicotinamide riboside kinases regulate skeletal muscle fiber-type specification and are rate-limiting for metabolic adaptations during regeneration

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Jérome Feige

Nicotinamide riboside kinases (NRKs) control the conversion of dietary Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) to NAD(+), but little is known about their contribution to endogenous NAD(+) turnover and muscle plasticity during skeletal muscle growth and remodeling. Usin ...

Increasing the Perspectives of Engineering Undergraduates on Societal Issues through an Interdisciplinary Program

Ambrogio Fasoli, Denis Gillet, Antonin Danalet, Ingrid Le Duc, Alexis Berne, Luca Bragazza, Delphine Preissmann, Samuel Bendahan, Siara Ruth Isaac, Roland John Tormey, Jérome Feige, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia, Adrian Christian Holzer

To tackle the challenges of the 21st century, future scientists and engineers have to understand the interplay between societal challenges and technical solutions as early as possible in their education. They also have to develop the communication and the ...
