Programmable nucleases, including zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9), have enhanced our ability to edit genomes by the sequence-specific generation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) with subsequent homo...
The treatment of obesity and diabetes remains a challenge and the biological mechanisms of these diseases are still not fully understood. Diabetes and obesity are associated with increased risk of the development of cardiovascular complications and there is an urgent need to find novel therapeutic approaches for treating obesity and diabetes. Curre...

In just a few short years, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has fundamentally changed basic, agricultural, and biomedical research, but no field has felt a more profound impact than cancer research. The ability to quickly and precisely manipulate the genome has opened the floodgates for a new and more elaborate understanding of how genes and gene reg...

The consumption of pesticides worldwide has been growing in recent decades, and consequently the exposure of humans and other animals to them as well. However, even though it is known that chiral pesticides can behave stereoselectively, the knowledge about the risks to human health and the environment is scarce. Among the pesticides registered to d...

Leishmania major is the causative agent of the neglected tropical disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis. In the mouse, protective immunity to Leishmania is associated with inflammatory responses. Here, we assess the dynamics of the inflammatory responses at the lesion site during experimental long-term, low-dose intradermal infection of the ear, employi...

The notion of 'back to nature' in assisted conception suggested 20 years ago has yet to be translated into clinical practice. While the findings from this systematic review do not provide evidence to change current in vitro protocols, it highlights our current inability to assess the in vivo reproductive tract environment in real time. Data made av...
Introduction Chondrosarcoma (a malignant tumor of cartilage) is poorly vascularized and rich in proteoglycans (PGs).1 If the hypoxic and proteoglycan status of the tumor can be assessed by TEP imaging2 and scintigaphy3,4,5 it requires however 2 separated acquisitions. In this context we propose to develop an MRI strategy based on Chemical Exchange ...
