Optimised three-dimensional in vitro retinoblastoma models tailored for drug discovery and clinical translatability

Retinoblastoma, while relatively rare, stands as the most prevalent intraocular cancer. In Switzerland, the survival rate approaches 100%, but it drops to less than 50% in low-income countries. The current treatment options for retinoblastoma rely on a lim ...

Sense of agency for intracortical brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Marco Solcà, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic, Tommaso Enrico Bertoni, Gaurav Sharma

Intracortical brain-machine interfaces decode motor commands from neural signals and translate them into actions, enabling movement for paralysed individuals. The subjective sense of agency associated with actions generated via intracortical brain-machine ...

Word pair classification during imagined speech using direct brain recordings

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Stéphanie Martin, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

People that cannot communicate due to neurological disorders would benefit from an internal speech decoder. Here, we showed the ability to classify individual words during imagined speech from electrocorticographic signals. In a word imagery task, we used ...

Lack of Enantioselectivity in the SULT1A3-catalyzed Sulfoconjugation of Normetanephrine Enantiomers: An In Vitro and Computational Study

Sandrine Gerber, Jean-Baptiste Gualtierotti

(1R)-Normetanephrine is the natural stereoisomeric substrate for sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3)-catalyzed sulfonation. Nothing appears known on the enantioselectivity of the reaction despite its potential significance in the metabolism of adrenergic amines ...
