MicroRNAs in hematopoietic development

Montagner, Sara ; Dehó, Lorenzo ; Monticelli, Silvia

In: BMC immunology, 2014, vol. 15, p. 14

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of a wide range of biological processes. By binding to complementary sequences on target messenger RNAs, they trigger translational repression and degradation of the target, eventually resulting in reduced protein output. MiRNA-dependent regulation of protein translation is a very widespread...

Three essays in economics of catastrophes

Slerca, Edoardo ; Jametti, Mario (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2018 ; 2018ECO013.

Many events can have a catastrophic effect on an economic environment, such as natural disasters, wars, migrations, pandemic diseases, etc. This thesis focuses on three of them: catastrophic agglomeration of firms as a response to tax differentials, immigration phenomena described as catastrophic by the natives and catastrophic earthquakes with destructive consequences for both physical and...

No association between ApoE polymorphism and febrile seizures

Lavenex, Pierre ; Lavenex, Pamela Banta ; Cachat, François ; Gehri, Mario ; Juvet, Typhaine

In: Neurological Sciences, 2015, p. 1–6

Seizures associated with fever are a common pediatric problem, affecting about 2–7 % of children between 3 months and 5 years of age. Differentiation of febrile seizures from acute symptomatic seizures secondary to central nervous system infections or seizures associated with fever in children with epilepsy is essential to provide appropriate treatment and follow-up care. Here, we tested the...

An analysis of entorhinal cortex projections to the dentate gyrus, hippocampus, and subiculum of the neonatal macaque monkey

Amaral, David G. ; Kondo, Hideki ; Lavenex, Pierre

In: Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2013, p. -

The entorhinal cortex is the primary interface between the hippocampal formation and neocortical sources of sensory information. While much is known about the cells of origin, termination patterns and topography of the entorhinal projections to other fields of the adult hippocampal formation, very little is known about the development of these pathways, particularly in the human or nonhuman...
