The effect of laminin-1-doped nanoroughened implant surfaces: Gene expression and morphological evaluation

Aim. This study aimed to observe the morphological and molecular effect of laminin-1 doping to nanostructured implant surfaces in a rabbit model. Materials and Methods. Nanostructured implants were coated with laminin-1 (test; dilution, 100 g/mL) and inserted into the rabbit tibiae. Noncoated implants were used as controls. After 2 weeks of healing, the implants were removed and subjected to morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and gene expression analysis using the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results. SEM revealed bony tissue attachment for both control and test implants. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of osteoblast markers RUNX-2, osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and collagen I was higher (1.62-fold, 1.53-fold, 1.97-fold, and 1.04-fold, resp.) for the implants modified by laminin-1 relative to the control. All osteoclast markers investigated in the study presented higher expression on the test implants than controls as follows: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (1.67-fold), calcitonin receptor (1.35-fold), and ATPase (1.25-fold). The test implants demonstrated higher expression of inflammatory markers interleukin-10 (1.53-fold) and tumour necrosis factor-α (1.61-fold) relative to controls. Conclusion. The protein-doped surface showed higher gene expression of typical genes involved in the osseointegration cascade than the control surface. © 2012 Humberto Osvaldo Schwartz-Filho et al.

Bone apposition to laminin-1 coated implants: Histologic and 3D evaluation

Laminin-1 has been reported as one of the factors responsible for the nucleation of calcium phosphates and, in vitro, has been reported to selectively recruit osteoprogenitors. This article focused on its in vivo effects, and evaluated the effect of laminin-1 local application on osseointegration. Polished cylindrical hydroxyapatite implants were coated with laminin-1 (test) and the bone responses in the rabbit tibiae after 2 and 4 weeks were evaluated and compared to the non-coated implants (control). Before the samples were processed for histological sectioning, they were three-dimensionally analysed with micro computed tomography (μCT). Both evaluation methods were analysed with regards to bone area around the implant and bone to implant contact. From the histologic observation, new bone formation around the laminin-1 coated implant at 2 weeks seemed to have increased the amount of supporting bone around the implant, however, at 4 weeks, the two groups presented no notable differences. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional morphometric evaluation revealed that both histologic and three-dimensional analysis showed some tendency in favour of the test group implants, however there was no statistical significance between the test and control group results. © 2012 International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Use of Genetically Modified Glial Cells Overexpressing Laminin α1-Chain Peptides in Neurite Outgrowth Studies

1. C6 glioma cells were transfected with two constructs carrying C-terminal laminin alpha1-chain sequences of 117 and 114 bp length, respectively. These sequences are specifically known to code for peptides which have neurite-promoting activity. 2. The stable expression and secretion of the two peptides was detected by Northern and Western blot analysis. 3. Primary neuronal cultures derived from embryonic mouse forebrain were cocultured with these transfected cells and exhibited a substantial increase in neurite outgrowth and in survival time. Conditioned media from the transfected cells generated similar effects. 4. Organotypic cultures from embryonic mouse brain were used as a second system as being closer to the in vivo situation. Again, coculture of brain slices with transfected cells or treatment with laminin peptide-containing media increased neuronal outgrowth.

The α chain of laminin-1 is independently secreted and drives secretion of its β- and γ-chain partners

A mammalian recombinant strategy was established to dissect rules of basement membrane laminin assembly and secretion. The α-, β-, and γ-chain subunits of laminin-1 were expressed in all combinations, transiently and/or stably, in a near-null background. In the absence of its normal partners, the α chain was secreted as intact protein and protein that had been cleaved in the coiled-coil domain. In contrast, the β and γ chains, expressed separately or together, remained intracellular with formation of ββ or βγ, but not γγ, disulfide-linked dimers. Secretion of the β and γ chains required simultaneous expression of all three chains and their assembly into αβγ heterotrimers. Epitope-tagged recombinant α subunit and recombinant laminin were affinity-purified from the conditioned medium of αγ and αβγ clones. Rotary-shadow electron microscopy revealed that the free α subunit is a linear structure containing N-terminal and included globules with a foreshortened long arm, while the trimeric species has the typical four-arm morphology of native laminin. We conclude that the α chain can be delivered to the extracellular environment as a single subunit, whereas the β and γ chains cannot, and that the α chain drives the secretion of the trimeric molecule. Such an α-chain-dependent mechanism could allow for the regulation of laminin export into a nascent basement membrane, and might serve an important role in controlling basement membrane formation.

CNS injury, γ1 laminin, and its KDI peptide

Nisäkkäillä keskushermoston uudistuminen on rajallista. Keskushermostovamman jälkeen aktivoituu monien paranemista edistävien tekijöiden lisäksi myös estäviä tekijöitä. Monella molekyylillä, kuten laminiinilla, on keskushermoston paranemista tehostava vaikutus. Laminiinit ovat myös kehon tyvikalvojen oleellisia rakennuskomponentteja. Keskushermoston laminiinit ovat tärkeitä sikiökehityksen aikana, esimerkiksi hermosäikeiden ohjauksessa. Myöhemmin ne osallistuvat veriaivoesteen ylläpitoon sekä vammojen jälkeiseen kudosreaktioon. Väitöskirjatutkimuksessani olen selvittänyt lamiiniinien, erityisesti γ1 laminiinin ja sen KDI peptidin, ekspressiota keskushermoston vammatilanteissa. Kokeellisessa soluviljelmäasetelmassa, joka simuloi vammautunutta keskushermostoympäristöä, osoitimme että KDI peptidi voimistaa sekä hermosolujen selviytymistä että hermosäikeiden kasvua. Kainihappo on glutamaattianalogi, ja glutamaattitoksisuudella uskotaan olevan tärkeä merkitys keskushermoston eri vamma- ja sairaustilanteissa tapahtuvassa hermosolukuolemassa. Toisessa väitöskirjani osatyössä osoitimme eläinmallissa KDI peptidin suojaavan rotan aivojen hippokampuksen hermosoluja kainihapon aiheuttamalta solutuholta. Elektrofysiologisilla mittauksilla osoitimme kolmannessa osatyössäni, että KDI peptidi estää glutamaattireseptorivirtoja ja suojaa siten glutamaattitoksisuudelta. Aivoveritulpan aiheuttama aivovaurio on yleinen syy aivohalvaukseen. Viimeisessä osatyössäni tutkimme eläinmallissa laminiinien ekspressiota iskemian vaurioittamassa aivokudoksessa. Laminiiniekspression todettiin voimistuvan vaurion jälkeen sekä tyvikalvo- että soluväliainerakenteissa. Vaurion ympärillä havaittiin astrosyyttejä, jotka jo melko aikaisessa vaiheessa vamman jälkeen ekspressoivat γ1 laminiinia ja KDI peptidiä. Tästä voidaan päätellä laminiinien osallistuvan aivoiskeemisen vaurion patofysiologiaan. Yleisesti väitöskirjatyöni kartoitti laminiinien ekspressiota sekä terveessä että vammautuneessa keskushermostossa. Väitöskirjatyöni tukee hypoteesia, jonka mukaan KDI peptidi suojaa keskushermostoa vaurioilta.

Role of γ1 Laminin and Its KDI Peptide in the Central Nervous System

Since the 1980 s, laminin-1 has been linked to regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) and promotion of neuronal migration and axon guidance during CNS development. In this thesis, we clarify the role of γ1 laminin and its KDI tripeptide in development of human embryonic spinal cord, in regeneration of adult rat spinal cord injury (SCI), in kainic acid-induced neuronal death, and in the spinal cord tissue of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We demonstrated that γ1 laminin together with α1, β1, and β3 laminins localize at the floor plate region in human embryonic spinal cord. This localization of γ1 laminin is in spatial and temporal correlation with development of the spinal cord and indicates that γ1 laminin may participate in commissural axon guidance during the embryonic development of the human CNS. With in vitro studies using the Matrigel culture system, we demonstrated that the KDI tripeptide of γ1 laminin provides a chemotrophic guidance cue for neurites of the human embryonic dorsal spinal cord, verifying the functional ability of γ1 laminin to guide commissural axons. Results from our experimental SCI model demonstrate that the KDI tripeptide enhanced functional recovery and promoted neurite outgrowth across the mechanically injured area in the adult rat spinal cord. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the KDI tripeptide as a non-competitive inhibitor of the ionotropic glutamate receptors can provide when administered in adequate concentrations an effective method to protect neurons against glutamate-induced excitotoxic cell death. Human postmortem samples were used to study motor neuron disease, ALS (IV), and the study revealed that in human ALS spinal cord, γ1 laminin was selectively over-expressed by reactive astrocytes, and that this over-expression may correlate with disease severity. The multiple ways by which γ1 laminin and its KDI tripeptide provide neurotrophic protection and enhance neuronal viability suggest that the over-expression of γ1 laminin may be a glial attempt to provide protection for neurons against ALS pathology. The KDI tripeptide is effective therapeutically thus far in animal models only. However, because KDI containing γ1 laminin exists naturally in the human CNS, KDI therapies are unlikely to be toxic or allergenic. Results from our animal models are encouraging, with no toxic side-effects detected even at high concentrations, but the ultimate confirmation can be achieved only after clinical trials. More research is still needed until the KDI tripeptide is refined into a clinically applicable method to treat various neurological disorders.

Angiogenesis promoted by vascular endothelial growth factor: Regulation through α1β1 and α2β1 integrins

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor, is a cytokine of central importance for the angiogenesis associated with cancers and other pathologies. Because angiogenesis often involves endothelial cell (EC) migration and proliferation within a collagen-rich extracellular matrix, we investigated the possibility that VEGF promotes neovascularization through regulation of collagen receptor expression. VEGF induced a 5- to 7-fold increase in dermal microvascular EC surface protein expression of two collagen receptors—the α1β1 and α2β1 integrins—through induction of mRNAs encoding the α1 and α2 subunits. In contrast, VEGF did not induce increased expression of the α3β1 integrin, which also has been implicated in collagen binding. Integrin α1-blocking and α2-blocking antibodies (Ab) each partially inhibited attachment of microvascular EC to collagen I, and α1-blocking Ab also inhibited attachment to collagen IV and laminin-1. Induction of α1β1 and α2β1 expression by VEGF promoted cell spreading on collagen I gels which was abolished by a combination of α1-blocking and α2-blocking Abs. In vivo, a combination of α1-blocking and α2-blocking Abs markedly inhibited VEGF-driven angiogenesis; average cross-sectional area of individual new blood vessels was reduced 90% and average total new vascular area was reduced 82% without detectable effects on the pre-existing vasculature. These data indicate that induction of α1β1 and α2β1 expression by EC is an important mechanism by which VEGF promotes angiogenesis and that α1β1 and α2β1 antagonists may prove effective in inhibiting VEGF-driven angiogenesis in cancers and other important pathologies.

Augmentation de l’expression de la chaine α1 de la laminine 111, un potentiel traitement pour la Dystrophie musculaire de Duchenne

La protéine hétérotrimérique laminine-111 permet le lien entre la matrice-extracellulaire et l’intégrine α7β1 du sarcolemme, remplaçant ainsi dans les muscles dystrophiques, des liens normalement assurés par le complexe de la dystrophine. L’injection de laminine-111 dans des souris mdx a permis, entre autre, l’augmentation de l’expression de l’intégrine α7β1, d’empêcher les bris du sarcolemme lors de la contraction musculaire, de restaurer un niveau normal de la créatine kinase sérique, ainsi que d’augmenter la résistance et la force dans les muscles déficients en dystrophine. Ces résultats suggèrent que l’augmentation de la laminine-111 est un potentiel traitement pour la DMD. Les chaines β1 et γ1 de la laminine sont déjà exprimées dans le muscle humain adulte, mais la chaine α1 de la laminine (Lamα1) est exprimée uniquement pendant le stade très précoce 16 cellules de l’embryogenèse. Nous avons donc développé une méthode alternative à l’injection répétée de Laminine-111 en induisant l’expression endogène du gène LAMA1, afin de reformer le complexe trimérique α1β1γ1, la laminine 111. Ceci a été réalisé avec une technologie récente, le système CRISPR/Cas9, dont la Cas9 a été désactivée (dCas9) puis couplée à un domaine d’activation de la transcription, le VP160 (dCas9-VP160). L’utilisation d’un ou plusieurs ARN guides (ARNg) a permis de cibler le promoteur du gène LAMA1. L’ARNm de Lamα1 (qRT-PCR) ainsi que la protéine (immunohistochimie et immunobuvardage) n’ont pas été détecté dans le contrôle négatif, des myoblastes murins (C2C12). Cependant, une expression significative a été observée dans ces myoblastes transfectés avec des plasmides codant pour dCas9-VP160 et un ARNg. L’analyse protéique in vivo, dans des muscles de souris électroporés avec le même plasmide, a démontré une forte augmentation de la chaine α1 de la laminine. Des augmentations plus importantes de l’ARNm de Lamα1 ont été observées en utilisant 2 ARNg, suggérant un effet synergique. L’augmentation de l’expression de Lamα1 par le système de CRISPR/Cas9 devrait être étudiée d’avantage afin de vérifier si cette stratégie pourrait s’avérer efficace dans des cas de myopathies.

Extracellular matrix of the human cyclic corpus luteum

Extracellular matrix regulates many cellular processes likely to be important for development and regression of corpora lutea. Therefore, we identified the types and components of the extracellular matrix of the human corpus luteum at different stages of the menstrual cycle. Two different types of extracellular matrix were identified by electron microscopy; subendothelial basal laminas and an interstitial matrix located as aggregates at irregular intervals between the non-vascular cells. No basal laminas were associated with luteal cells. At all stages, collagen type IV α1 and laminins α5, β2 and γ1 were localized by immunohistochemistry to subendothelial basal laminas, and collagen type IV α1 and laminins α2, α5, β1 and β2 localized in the interstitial matrix. Laminin α4 and β1 chains occurred in the subendothelial basal lamina from mid-luteal stage to regression; at earlier stages, a punctate pattern of staining was observed. Therefore, human luteal subendothelial basal laminas potentially contain laminin 11 during early luteal development and, additionally, laminins 8, 9 and 10 at the mid-luteal phase. Laminin α1 and α3 chains were not detected in corpora lutea. Versican localized to the connective tissue extremities of the corpus luteum. Thus, during the formation of the human corpus luteum, remodelling of extracellular matrix does not result in basal laminas as present in the adrenal cortex or ovarian follicle. Instead, novel aggregates of interstitial matrix of collagen and laminin are deposited within the luteal parenchyma, and it remains to be seen whether this matrix is important for maintaining the luteal cell phenotype.

Myogel, a novel, basement membrane-rich, extracellular matrix derived from skeletal muscle, is highly adipogenic in vivo and in vitro

Background/Aims Biological and synthetic scaffolds play important roles in tissue engineering and are being developed towards human clinical applications. Based on previous work from our laboratory, we propose that extracellular matrices from skeletal muscle could be developed for adipose tissue engineering. Methods Extracellular matrices (Myogels) extracted from skeletal muscle of various species were assessed using biochemical assays including ELISA and Western blotting. Biofunctionality was assessed using an in vitro differentiation assay and a tissue engineering construct model in the rat. Results Myogels were successfully extracted from mice, rats, pigs and humans. Myogels contained significant levels of laminin α4- and α2-subunits and collagen I compared to Matrigel™, which contains laminin 1 (α1β1γ1) and collagen IV. Levels of growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor 2 were significantly higher than Matrigel, vascular endothelial growth factor-A levels were significantly lower and all other growth factors were comparable. Myogels reproducibly stimulated adipogenic differentiation of preadipocytes in vitro and the growth of adipose tissue in the rat. Conclusions We found Myogel induces adipocyte differentiation in vitroand shows strong adipogenic potential in vivo, inducing the growth of well-vascularised adipose tissue. Myogel offers an alternative for current support scaffolds in adipose tissue engineering, allowing the scaling up of animal models towards clinical adipose tissue engineering applications.

The role of biological extracellular matrix scaffolds in vascularized three-dimensional tissue growth in vivo

An in vivo murine vascularized chamber model has been shown to generate spontaneous angiogenesis and new tissue formation. This experiment aimed to assess the effects of common biological scaffolds on tissue growth in this model. Either laminin-1, type I collagen, fibrin glue, hyaluronan, or sea sponge was inserted into silicone chambers containing the epigastric artery and vein, one end was sealed with adipose tissue and the other with bone wax, then incubated subcutaneously. After 2, 4, or 6 weeks, tissue from chambers containing collagen I, fibrin glue, hyaluronan, or no added scaffold (control) had small amounts of vascularized connective tissue. Chambers containing sea sponge had moderate connective tissue growth together with a mild "foreign body" inflammatory response. Chambers containing laminin-1, at a concentration 10-fold lower than its concentration in Matrigel™, resulted in a moderate adipogenic response. In summary, (1) biological hydrogels are resorbed and gradually replaced by vascularized connective tissue; (2) sponge-like matrices with large pores support connective tissue growth within the pores and become encapsulated with granulation tissue; (3) laminin-containing scaffolds facilitate adipogenesis. It is concluded that the nature and chemical composition of the scaffold exerts a significant influence on the amount and type of tissue generated in this in vivo chamber model.

Epidermal growth factor-induced epithelio-mesenchymal transition in human breast carcinoma cells

PMC42-LA cells display an epithelial phenotype: the cells congregate into pavement epithelial sheets in which E-cadherin and β-catenin are localized at cell-cell borders. They abundantly express cytokeratins, although 5% to 10% of the cells also express the mesenchymal marker vimentin. Stimulation of PMC42-LA cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) leads to epithelio-mesenchymal transition-like changes including up-regulation of vimentin and down-regulation of E-cadherin. Vimentin expression is seen in virtually all cells, and this increase is abrogated by treatment of cells with an EGF receptor antagonist. The expression of the mesenchyme-associated extracellular matrix molecules fibronectin and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan also increase in the presence of EGF. PMC42-LA cells adhere rapidly to collagen I, collagen IV, and laminin-1 substrates and markedly more slowly to fibronectin and vitronectin. EGF increases the speed of cell adhesion to most of these extracellular matrix molecules without altering the order of adhesive preference. EGF also caused a time-dependent increase in the motility of PMC42-LA cells, commensurate with the degree of vimentin staining. The increase in motility was at least partly chemokinetic, because it was evident both with and without chemoattractive stimuli. Although E-cadherin staining at cell-cell junctions disappeared in response to EGF, β-catenin persisted at the cell periphery. Further analysis revealed that N-cadherin was present at the cell-cell junctions of untreated cells and that expression was increased after EGF treatment. N- and E-cadherin are not usually coexpressed in human carcinoma cell lines but can be coexpressed in embryonic tissues, and this may signify an epithelial cell population prone to epithelio-mesenchymal-like responses.

Optimising the cell source and biomaterials for the generation of vascularized adipose tissue in vivo

We initially described a rat chamber model with an inserted arteriovenous pedicle which spontaneously generates 3-dimensional vascularized connective tissue (Tanaka Y et al., Br J Plast Surg 2000; 53: 51-7). More recently we have developed a murine chamber model containing reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel®) and FGF-2 that generates vascularized adipose tissue in vivo (Cronin K et al., Plast Reconstr Surg 2004; in press). We have extended this work to assess the cellular and matrix requirements for the Matrigel®- induced neo-adipogenesis. We found that chambers sealed to host fat were unable to grow new adipose tissue. In these chambers the Matrigel® became vascularized with maximal outgrowth of vessels extending to the periphery at 6 weeks. A small amount of adipose tissue was found adjacent to the vessels, most likely arising from periadventitial adipose tissue. In contrast, chambers open to interaction with endogenous adipose tissue showed abundant new fat, and partial exposure to adjacent adipose tissue clearly showed neo-adipogenesis only in this area. Addition of small amounts of free fat to the closed chamber containing Matrigel® was able to induce neo-adipogenesis. Addition of small pieces of human fat also caused neo-adipogenesis in immunocompromised (SCID) mice. Also, we found Matrigel® to induce adipogenesis of Lac-Z-tagged (Rosa-26) murine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and cells similar to these have been isolated from human adipose tissue. Given that Matrigel® is a mouse product and cannot be used in humans, we have started investigating alternative matrix scaffolds for adipogenesis such as the PDA-approved PLGA, collagen and purified components derived from Matrigel®, such as laminin-1. The optimal conditions for adipogenesis with these matrices are still being elucidated. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that a precursor cell source inside the chamber is essential for the generation of vascularized adipose tissue in vivo. This technique offers unique potential for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects and may enable the generation of site-specific tissue using the correct microenvironment.

Développement et caractérisation d’une méthode photonique pour créer des distributions spatiales de protéines

Les cellules sont capables de détecter les distributions spatiales de protéines et ainsi de migrer ou s’étendre dans la direction appropriée. Une compréhension de la réponse cellulaire aux modifications de ces distributions spatiales de protéines est essentielle pour l’avancement des connaissances dans plusieurs domaines de recherches tels que le développement, l’immunologie ou l’oncologie. Un exemple particulièrement complexe est le guidage d’axones se déroulant pendant le développement du système nerveux. Ce dernier nécessite la présence de plusieurs distributions de molécules de guidages étant attractives ou répulsives pour connecter correctement ce réseau complexe qu’est le système nerveux. Puisque plusieurs indices de guidage collaborent, il est particulièrement difficile d’identifier la contribution individuelle ou la voie de signalisation qui est déclenchée in vivo, il est donc nécessaire d’utiliser des méthodes pour reproduire ces distributions de protéines in vitro. Plusieurs méthodes existent pour produire des gradients de protéines solubles ou liées aux substrats. Quelques méthodes pour produire des gradients solubles sont déjà couramment utilisées dans plusieurs laboratoires, mais elles limitent l’étude aux distributions de protéines qui sont normalement sécrétées in vivo. Les méthodes permettant de produire des distributions liées au substrat sont particulièrement complexes, ce qui restreint leur utilisation à quelques laboratoires. Premièrement, nous présentons une méthode simple qui exploite le photoblanchiment de molécules fluorescentes pour créer des motifs de protéines liées au substrat : Laser-assisted protein adsorption by photobleaching (LAPAP). Cette méthode permet de produire des motifs de protéines complexes d’une résolution micrométrique et d’une grande portée dynamique. Une caractérisation de la technique a été faite et en tant que preuve de fonctionnalité, des axones de neurones du ganglion spinal ont été guidés sur des gradients d’un peptide provenant de la laminine. Deuxièmement, LAPAP a été amélioré de manière à pouvoir fabriquer des motifs avec plusieurs composantes grâce à l’utilisation de lasers à différentes longueurs d’onde et d’anticorps conjugués à des fluorophores correspondants à ces longueurs d’onde. De plus, pour accélérer et simplifier le processus de fabrication, nous avons développé LAPAP à illumination à champ large qui utilise un modulateur spatial de lumière, une diode électroluminescente et un microscope standard pour imprimer directement un motif de protéines. Cette méthode est particulièrement simple comparativement à la version originale de LAPAP puisqu’elle n’implique pas le contrôle de la puissance laser et de platines motorisées, mais seulement d’envoyer l’image du motif désiré au modulateur spatial. Finalement, nous avons utilisé LAPAP pour démontrer que notre technique peut être utilisée dans des analyses de haut contenu pour quantifier les changements morphologiques résultant de la croissance neuronale sur des gradients de protéines de guidage. Nous avons produit des milliers de gradients de laminin-1 ayant différentes pentes et analysé les variations au niveau du guidage de neurites provenant d’une lignée cellulaire neuronale (RGC-5). Un algorithme pour analyser les images des cellules sur les gradients a été développé pour détecter chaque cellule et quantifier la position du centroïde du soma ainsi que les angles d’initiation, final et de braquage de chaque neurite. Ces données ont démontré que les gradients de laminine influencent l’angle d’initiation des neurites des RGC-5, mais n’influencent pas leur braquage. Nous croyons que les résultats présentés dans cette thèse faciliteront l’utilisation de motifs de protéines liées au substrat dans les laboratoires des sciences de la vie, puisque LAPAP peut être effectué à l’aide d’un microscope confocal ou d’un microscope standard légèrement modifié. Cela pourrait contribuer à l’augmentation du nombre de laboratoires travaillant sur le guidage avec des gradients liés au substrat afin d’atteindre la masse critique nécessaire à des percées majeures en neuroscience.
