Mitochondrial regulation of structural and functional plasticity within adult neurogenic circuits (MITOPLASTICITY)
Date du début: 1 août 2016, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2021,
A fundamental question in neuroscience is to reveal the energy constrains governing the plasticity of brain circuits. Mitochondrial energy metabolism is increasingly recognized for regulating the activity and integrity of existing synaptic terminals, however it is unclear how changes in mitochondrial function are coupled with the generation of new neurons and the ensuing circuit remodelling, e.g. ...

Antibody-Mediated Therapy of HIV-1 Infection (HIV1ABTHERAPY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2020,
Antibodies are destined to neutralize pathogens and can prevent and fight infectious diseases. Over the last years, advances in single B cell cloning resulted in the isolation of highly potent and broad HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that have been shown to prevent SHIV infection in non-human primates (NHPs). Recently, we have demonstrated that a combination of bNAbs can suppress HIV-1 repl ...
