Understanding Factors That Influence Electronic Cigarette Nicotine Delivery Through PET Imaging of Beta-2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
The goal of this proposal is to test the overall hypothesis that e-cigarettes (ECs) provide efficient nicotine delivery to the brain and arterial blood in non-EC-nave smokers and e-cigarette users and that EC liquid characteristics modulate this effect. This study will test the hypothesis through complementary methods that include [ …

Trajectory of Microbiota Maturation in Healthy Bern Infants - a Network Approach
Metagenomic shotgun sequencing and bacterial messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) analysis will inform about metabolic potential and metabolic activity of the microbiota. Mass spectrometry will assess the small molecule content of stool and maternal milk samples. Network analysis will be used to assess the complex relationships between bacteria metabolic activities and …

Biomarkers in Polyradiculoneuropathies
The nodes of Ranvier contain ion channels that enable the rapid propagation of the nerve impulse. Cell adhesion molecules and glycolipids play an important role in the formation of the nodes of Ranvier. Antibodies against glycolipids are detected in half of patients with Guillain-Barr syndrome, an acute inflammatory neuropathy affecting …
