    Background: Unravelling the mystery of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires urgent resolution given the worldwide increase of the aging population. There is a growing concern that the current leading AD hypothesis, the amyloid ...
  • A phenomenological model for interfacial water near hydrophilic polymers 

    Earls, A.; Calderer, M.-C.; Desroches, M.Autoridad BCAM; Zarnescu, A.Autoridad BCAM; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM (2022-06-30)
    We propose a minimalist phenomenological model for the ‘interfacial water’ phenomenon that occurs near hydrophilic polymeric surfaces. We achieve this by combining a Ginzburg–Landau approach with Maxwell’s equations which ...
  • Immunosenescence and Altered Vaccine Efficiency in Older Subjects: A Myth Difficult to Change 

    Fülöp, T.; Larbi, A.; Pawelec, G.; Cohen, A.; Provost, G.; Khalil, A.; Lacombe, G.; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM; Desroches, M.Autoridad BCAM; Hirokawa, K.; Franceschi, C.; Witkowski, J.M. (2022-04-01)
    Organismal ageing is associated with many physiological changes, including differences in the immune system of most animals. These differences are often considered to be a key cause of age-associated diseases as well as ...
  • Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks 

    Desroches, M.Autoridad BCAM; Rinzel, J.; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM (2022-01-20)
    Bursting is one of the fundamental rhythms that excitable cells can generate either in response to incoming stimuli or intrinsically. It has been a topic of intense research in computational biology for several decades. ...
  • Hyperactivation of monocytes and macrophages in MCI patients contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease 

    Munawara, U.; Catanzaro, M.; Xu, W.; Tan, C.; Hirokawa, K.; Bosco, N.; Dumoulin, D.; Khalil, A.; Larbi, A.; Lévesque, S.; Ramassamy, C.; Barron, A.; Cunnane, S.; Beauregard, P.; Bellenger, J.P.; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM; Desroches, M.Autoridad BCAM; Witkowski, J.M.; Laurent, B.; Frost, E.; Fülöp, T. (2021-12-01)
    Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease ultimately manifesting as clinical dementia. Despite considerable effort and ample experimental data, the role of neuroinflammation related ...
  • Are Brain-Computer Interfaces Feasible withIntegrated Photonic Chips? 

    Salari, V.; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM; Saglamyurek, E.; Simon, C.; Oblak, D. (2021-11)
    The present paper examines the viability of a radically novel idea for brain-computer interface (BCI), which could lead to novel technological, experimental and clinical applications. BCIs are computer-based systems that ...
  • Stochastic facilitation in heteroclinic communication channels 

    Sirio Carmantini, G.; Schittler Neves, F.; Timme, M.; Rodrigues, S.Autoridad BCAM (2021-09-01)
