Potential Use of RNAi on Human Skin
Poster Dec 01, 2008
We designed highly efficient StealthTM RNAi targeting human tyrosinase with optimum IC50 in the 10-100 pM range. By silencing tyrosinase in melanocytes, we achieved the reconstruction of an artificial epidermis showing a long term lasting (>30 days) inhibition of melanogenesis. Since skin pigmentation can phenotypically be monitored, the use of StealthTM RNAi against tyrosinase on reconstructed pigmented epidermis is a precious tool for the evaluation of delivery vehicles.

Psychiatric Risk Gene Cacna1c and Early Life Stress: Potential Gene-Environment interactions?
PosterEarly life stress (ELS) is highly associated with development of psychopathology
and mood disorders in adulthood. Genetic studies have identified variation in the gene calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1C (CACNA1C) to increase risk for several psychiatric disorders. This poster assessed the expression of Cacna1c following prepubertal stress.
A Computational Model of Mood and Future Prospects
PosterMood disorders are characterized by changes in reaction to positive events, but studies examining mood in gambling have suggested these changes may not be different from control. Interrogating mood changes with a computational model may give insight into disorders like depression.
