In vivo evaluation of gene editing and prosthetic strategies to restore vision in small and large animal models of retinal degeneration

Paola Vagni

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) form a group of diverse disorders that lead to the degeneration of the light-sensing cells of the retina: the photoreceptors. IRDs are among the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults living in industrialized co ...

Dopaminergic neurodegeneration induced by Parkinson's disease-linked G2019S LRRK2 is dependent on kinase and GTPase activity

Elpida Tsika, Darren Moore, Xi Chen

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of late-onset, autosomal-dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 functions as both a kinase and GTPase, and PD-linked mutations are known to influence both enzymatic acti ...

Synchronous nonmonotonic changes in functional connectivity and white matter integrity in a rat model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease

Bernard Lanz, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Ting Yin, Yujian Diao

Brain glucose hypometabolism has been singled out as an important contributor and possibly main trigger to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Intracerebroventricular injections of streptozotocin (icv-STZ) cause brain glucose hypometabolism without systemic diabetes ...

Hydrogel-based milliwell arrays for standardized and scalable retinal organoid cultures

Matthias Lütolf, Nathalie Brandenberg

The development of improved methods to culture retinal organoids is relevant for the investigation of mechanisms of retinal development under pathophysiological conditions, for screening of neuroprotective compounds, and for providing a cellular source for ...

TBK1 phosphorylates mutant Huntingtin and suppresses its aggregation and toxicity in Huntington's disease models

Johan Auwerx, Hilal Lashuel, Laurent Mouchiroud, Anass Chiki, Lara Petricca, Ramanath Narayana Hegde

Phosphorylation of the N‐terminal domain of the huntingtin (HTT ) protein has emerged as an important regulator of its localization, structure, aggregation, clearance and toxicity. However, validation of the effect of bona fide phosphorylation in vivo and ...

Mechano-modulatory synthetic niches for liver organoid derivation

Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Giovanni Sorrentino, Saba Rezakhani, Ece Yildiz

The recent demonstration that primary cells from the liver can be expanded in vitro as organoids holds enormous promise for regenerative medicine and disease modelling. The use of three-dimensional (3D) cultures based on ill-defined and potentially immunog ...

Study of brain metabolic dysfunctions in animal models of mood disorder using magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Antoine Timothée Cherix

Mood disorders, in particular depression, are a major burden of our society. Due to the poor knowledge of the biological basis of these diseases, classification remains based on arbitrary symptomatic parameters. As a result, the existing pharmacological tr ...

Understanding the Mechanobiology of Early Mammalian Development through Bioengineered Models

Matthias Lütolf, Stefano Davide Vianello

Research in developmental biology has been recently enriched by a multitude of in vitro models recapitulating key milestones of mammalian embryogenesis. These models obviate the challenge posed by the inaccessibility of implanted embryos, multiply experime ...

Cbp-dependent histone acetylation mediates axon regeneration induced by environmental enrichment in rodent spinal cord injury models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Claudia Kathe, Kay Alexander Bartholdi, Thomas Haynes Hutson

After a spinal cord injury, axons fail to regenerate in the adult mammalian central nervous system, leading to permanent deficits in sensory and motor functions. Increasing neuronal activity after an injury using electrical stimulation or rehabilitation ca ...

Calorie restriction slows age-related microbiota changes in an Alzheimer's disease model in female mice

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans, and advanced age is the greatest risk factor. AD patients have altered intestinal microbiota. Accordingly, depleting intestinal microbiota in AD animal models reduces amyloid-beta (A beta ...

Glutaredoxin1 Diminishes Amyloid Beta-Mediated Oxidation of F-Actin and Reverses Cognitive Deficits in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Bernard Schneider

Aims: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis through multiple sources are implicated in synaptic pathology observed in the disease. We have previously shown F-actin disassembly in dendritic spines in early AD ( ...

Co-localization of microstructural damage and excessive mechanical strain at aortic branches in Angiotensin-II-infused mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Lydia Aslanidou, Bram Trachet, Goran Lovric, Mauro Ferraro, Patrick Segers

Animal models of aortic aneurysm and dissection can enhance our limited understanding of the etiology of these lethal conditions particularly because early-stage longitudinal data are scant in humans. Yet, the pathogenesis of often-studied mouse models and ...
