Manni, F.  et al. 2008

Do surname differences mirror dialect variation?

Our focus in this paper is the analysis of surnames, which have been proven to be reliable genetic markers because in patrilineal systems they are transmitted along generations virtually unchanged,...

Ottaviani, A.  et al. 2008

Telomeric position effect: from the yeast paradigm to human pathologies?

Alteration of the epigenome is associated with a wide range of human diseases. Therefore, deciphering the pathways that regulate the epigenetic modulation of gene expression is a major milestone for...

Bajolle, F.  et al. 2008

Myocardium at the base of the aorta and pulmonary trunk is prefigured in the outflow tract of the heart and in subdomains of the second heart field

Outflow tract myocardium in the mouse heart is derived from the anterior heart field, a subdomain of the second heart field. We have recently characterized a transgene (y96-Myf5-nlacZ-16), which is...

Viola, A.  et al. 2007

Metabolic fingerprints of altered brain growth, osmoregulation and neurotransmission in a Rett syndrome model

BACKGROUND: Rett syndrome (RS) is the leading cause of profound mental retardation of genetic origin in girls. Since RS is mostly caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, transgenic animal models such...

Danièle, N.  et al. 2007

Ins and outs of therapy in limb girdle muscular dystrophies

Muscular dystrophies are hereditary degenerative muscle diseases that cause life-long disability in patients. They comprise the well-known Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) but also the group of Limb...

Berberian, B.  et al. 2007

Dynamics of visuo-spatial remembering: a study of information structuring in memory

We studied the process by which learning a pattern of motor activity reaches a steady-state characterized by a reduction in fluctuations. The stimuli consisted of eight visually presented dots that...

Moncla, A.  et al. 2007

A cluster of translocation breakpoints in 2q37 is associated with overexpression of NPPC in patients with a similar overgrowth phenotype

Overexpression of the C-type natriuretic peptide, encoded by the NPPC gene in 2q37.1, was recently reported in a patient presenting an overgrowth phenotype and a balanced t(2;7)(q37.1;q21.3)...

Lo, PCH.  et al. 2007

The Drosophila Hand gene is required for remodeling of the developing adult heart and midgut during metamorphosis

The Hand proteins of the bHLH family of transcriptional factors play critical roles in vertebrate cardiogenesis. In Drosophila, the single orthologous Hand gene is expressed in the developing...

de Pontual, L.  et al. 2007

Methylation-associated PHOX2B gene silencing is a rare event in human neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB), an embryonic tumour originating from neural crest cells, is one of the most common solid tumours in childhood. Although NB is characterised by numerous recurrent, large-scale...

Chihara, T.  et al. 2007

Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial protein translation in axonal and dendritic terminal arborization

We identified a mutation in Aats-gly (also known as gars or glycyl-tRNA synthetase), the Drosophila melanogaster ortholog of the human GARS gene that is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy...

Villard, L.  et al. 2007

MECP2 mutations in males

Rett syndrome (RS; MIM 312750) is a severe neurological disorder affecting exclusively females. Its prevalence is about 1 in 10,000 female births, and it is a prominent cause of profound mental...

Benninger, Y.  et al. 2007

Essential and distinct roles for cdc42 and rac1 in the regulation of Schwann cell biology during peripheral nervous system development

During peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelination, Schwann cells must interpret extracellular cues to sense their environment and regulate their intrinsic developmental program accordingly. The...
