Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of BCL-2 in transgenic mice protects neurons from naturally occurring cell death and experimental ischemia
Jean-Claude Martinou,Michel Dubois-Dauphin,Julie Staple,Ivan Rodriguez,Harald Frankowski,Marc Missotten,Paola Albertini,Dominique Talabot,Stefan Catsicas,Claudio Pietra +9 more
TL;DR: Transgenic mice are generated in which neurons overexpress the human BCL-2 protein under the control of the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) or phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoters to gain insight into the possible role of bcl-2 during NOCD in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular Toxicity of Carbon-Based Nanomaterials
Arnaud Magrez,Sandor Kasas,Valérie Salicio,Nathalie Pasquier,Jin Won Seo,Marco Celio,Stefan Catsicas,Beat Schwaller,László Forró +8 more
TL;DR: This work clearly indicated that carbon-based nanomaterials are toxic while the hazardous effect is size-dependent, and cytotoxicity is enhanced when the surface of the particles is functionalized after an acid treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of axonal growth by SNAP-25 antisense oligonucleotides in vitro and in vivo
Astrid Osen-Sand,Marina Catsicas,Julie K. Staple,Kenneth Jones,Guidon Ayala,Jonathan Knowles,Gabriele Grenningloh,Stefan Catsicas +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that SNAP-25 is expressed in axonal growth cones during late stages of elongation and that selective inhibition of SNAP- 25 expression prevents neurite elongation by rat cortical neurons and PC-12 cells in vitro and by amacrine cells of the developing chick retina in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomechanics of microtubules.
Andras Kis,Sandor Kasas,Sandor Kasas,B. Babić,Andrzej J. Kulik,W. Benoit,G. A. D. Briggs,Christian Schönenberger,Stefan Catsicas,László Forró +9 more
TL;DR: The mechanical anisotropy of a single microtubules is determined by simultaneously measuring the Young's and the shear moduli in vitro by elastically deforming the microtubule deposited on a substrate tailored by electron-beam lithography with a tip of an atomic force microscope.
Journal ArticleDOI
SNAP-25 is expressed in islets of Langerhans and is involved in insulin release.
Karin Sadoul,Jochen Lang,C. Montecucco,Ulrich Weller,Romano Regazzi,Stefan Catsicas,Claes B. Wollheim,Philippe A. Halban +7 more
TL;DR: A role for SNAP-25 in fusion of dense core secretory granules with the plasma membrane in an endocrine cell type- the pancreatic B cell is suggested.
