Implicación de los microARNs en la hipertensión pulmonar idiopática. Regulación farmacológica
2014
La hipertensión pulmonar (HP) es un desorden complejo que se caracteriza por un aumento progresivo de la presión arterial pulmonar, ocasionado por el remodelado de las arterias pulmonares de pequeño calibre, que origina un aumento de resistencias pulmonares y como consecuencia sobrecarga y fallo del ventrículo derecho que puede llevar al fallecimiento del paciente. La Organización mundial de la salud la clasifica en 5 grupos, en nuestro estudio nos hemos centrado en el grupo I, que se caracteriza por la afección de los vasos pulmonares de pequeño calibre, con una presión arterial pulmonar (PAP) media de ≥ 25 mmHg y ausencia de causas secundarias, este así mismo se subdivide en hipertensión …

Multi-resolution anisotropy studies of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory
2017
We report a multi-resolution search for anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory with local zenith angles up to $80^\circ$ and energies in excess of 4 EeV ($4 \times 10^{18}$ eV). This search is conducted by measuring the angular power spectrum and performing a needlet wavelet analysis in two independent energy ranges. Both analyses are complementary since the angular power spectrum achieves a better performance in identifying large-scale patterns while the needlet wavelet analysis, considering the parameters used in this work, presents a higher efficiency in detecting smaller-scale anisotropies, potentially providing directional informa…
Sensors based on MultiSpectral Filter Arrays
2014
International audience; Spectral Filter arrays (SFA) is an emerging technology for multispectral image acquisition. SFAs make possible the use of a compact multispectral sensor to acquire still images or video. One part of this talk will present and compare typical multispectral and color image acquisition systems in order to clearly identify differences underlying SFA technologies. The other part of this talk will show the difficulties and advances that we have made at the University of Bourgogne in the building of such sensors from the design of filters to data processing, such as demosaicing.
Development of the first marmoset-specific DNA microarray (EUMAMA): a new genetic tool for large-scale expression profiling in a non-human primate
2007
Abstract Background The common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus), a small non-endangered New World primate native to eastern Brazil, is becoming increasingly used as a non-human primate model in biomedical research, drug development and safety assessment. In contrast to the growing interest for the marmoset as an animal model, the molecular tools for genetic analysis are extremely limited. Results Here we report the development of the first marmoset-specific oligonucleotide microarray (EUMAMA) containing probe sets targeting 1541 different marmoset transcripts expressed in hippocampus. These 1541 transcripts represent a wide variety of different functional gene classes. Hybridisation of …
mRNA expression profiles of primary high-grade central osteosarcoma are preserved in cell lines and xenografts
2011
Abstract Background Conventional high-grade osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor, which is most prevalent in adolescence. Survival rates of osteosarcoma patients have not improved significantly in the last 25 years. Aiming to increase this survival rate, a variety of model systems are used to study osteosarcomagenesis and to test new therapeutic agents. Such model systems are typically generated from an osteosarcoma primary tumor, but undergo many changes due to culturing or interactions with a different host species, which may result in differences in gene expression between primary tumor cells, and tumor cells from the model system. We aimed to investigate whether gene expressio…
In Silico Analysis of Microarray-Based Gene Expression Profiles Predicts Tumor Cell Response to Withanolides
2012
Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Indian ginseng, winter cherry, Solanaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine. Roots are either chewed or used to prepare beverages (aqueous decocts). The major secondary metabolites of Withania somnifera are the withanolides, which are C-28-steroidal lactone triterpenoids. Withania somnifera extracts exert chemopreventive and anticancer activities in vitro and in vivo. The aims of the present in silico study were, firstly, to investigate whether tumor cells develop cross-resistance between standard anticancer drugs and withanolides and, secondly, to elucidate the molecular determinants of sensitivity and resistance of tumor cells towards withanolides. Usi…
Integración de la genómica en la modelización de los tumores neuroblásticos = Integration of genomics in neuroblastic tumors modeling
2015
*Introducción: El neuroblastoma es un tumor maligno embrionario del sistema nervioso simpático con una gran heterogeneidad en la presentación clínica, morfológica y genética y en otras características biológicas. La estratificación de grupos de riesgo pretratamiento se basa en los siguientes factores: edad, estadio, histopatológica del tumor, estado del oncogén MYCN, integridad del brazo cromosómico 11q y ploidía. Por otra parte, los cambios numéricos y estructurales detectados en el perfil genético se han incluido recientemente en la estratificación terapéutica de los pacientes con bajo riesgo a recaer o morir. El amplio espectro clínico de la enfermedad va desde pacientes con neuroblastom…
Phase-delayed laser diode array allows ultrasonic guided wave mode selection and tuning
2013
Selecting and tuning modes are useful in ultrasonic guided wave non-destructive testing (NDT) since certain modes at various center frequencies are sensitive to specific types of defects. Ideally one should be able to select both the mode and the center frequency of the launched waves. We demonstrated that an affordable laser diode array can selectively launch either the S0 or A0 ultrasonic wave mode at a chosen center frequency into a polymer plate. A fiber-coupled diode array (4 elements) illuminated a 2 mm thick acrylic plate. A predetermined time delay matching the selected mode and frequency was employed between the output of the elements. The generated ultrasound was detected by a 215…
