Investigation of the effects of Anti-Müllerian Hormone on preventing Doxorubicin-induced primordial follicle loss by Wei, X

“…Follicular damage caused by DXR was also demonstrated in adult mouse ovaries in vivo but not in human pre-pubertal ovarian tissue xenotransplanted into mice. Although there were trends, there was no significant effect of AMH treatment alone on inhibiting primordial follicle activation in mouse ovarian tissue (in vitro and in vivo) or human ovarian tissue (xenotransplanted into mice). …”

PPARβ/δ prevents endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated inflammation and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells through an AMPK-dependent mechanism by Salvadó, Laia, Barroso, Emma, Gómez-Foix, Anna Maria, Palomer, Xavier, Michalik, Liliane, Wahli, Walter, Vázquez-Carrera, Manuel

“…Methods Studies were conducted in mouse C2C12 myotubes, in the human myogenic cell line LHCN-M2 and in skeletal muscle from wild-type and PPARβ/δ-deficient mice and mice exposed to a high-fat diet. Results The PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 prevented lipid-induced ER stress in mouse and human myotubes and in skeletal muscle of mice fed a high-fat diet. …”

Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Chapter 4 focuses on the site-specific glycosylation occupancy, and N- and O-glycan structures attached to virion derived SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins. This glycan signature was compared to a stabilised prefusion trimeric spike, to a monomeric subunit of spike (S1) and to an antigen of a non-stabilised vaccine candidate, revealing subunit shedding of the S1 glycoprotein for the vaccine candidate. …”

Comparative effects of domain-specific human monoclonal antibodies against LGI1 on neuronal excitability by Sell, J, Rahmati, V, Kempfer, M, Irani, SR, Ritzau-Jost, A, Hallermann, S, Geis, C

“…However, only the LRR-specific mAbs increased the number of action potential firing together with enhanced initial instantaneous frequency and promoted spike-frequency adaptation, which were less pronounced after the EPTP mAb. …”

Design of a dual band planar inverted-F antenna for GMS/DCS mobile handset by Fang, Jun

“…This project involved the study of size miniaturization of microstrip antenna techniques: shorting pin and shorting wall, loading, shorted spiral printed antenna and stacked shorted patch antenna are fully discussed.…”

Microcrystalline Tyrosine (MCT®): a depot adjuvant in licensed allergy immunotherapy offers new opportunities in malaria by Cabral-Miranda, G, Heath, MD, Gomes, AC, Mohsen, MO, Montoya-Diaz, E, Salman, AM, Atcheson, E, Skinner, MA, Kramer, MF, Reyes-Sandoval, A, Bachmann, MF

“…Both MCT and Alum strongly increased immunogenicity of CSP compared to PBS in both C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Challenge studies in mice using a chimeric <em>P. bergei</em> expressing CSP of <em>P. vivax</em> demonstrated clinically improved symptoms of malaria with CSP formulated in both MCT and Alum; protection was, however, more pronounced if CSP was formulated in MCT. …”
