Using NanoSIMS coupled with microfluidics to visualize the early stages of coral infection by Vibrio coralliilyticus

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Emma Mary Gibbin

Background: Global warming has triggered an increase in the prevalence and severity of coral disease, yet little is known about coral/pathogen interactions in the early stages of infection. The point of entry of the pathogen and the route that they take on ...

Direct numberical simulation of turbulent slope flows up to Grash of number Gr=2.1 x 10(11)

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Stably stratified turbulent flows over an unbounded, smooth, planar sloping surface at high Grashof numbers are examined using direct numerical simulations ( DNS). Four sloping angles ( alpha = 15 degrees; 30 degrees; 60 degrees and 90 degrees) and three G ...

Ultrathin Alumina Membranes as Scaffold for Epithelial Cell Culture from the Intestine of Rainbow Trout

Philippe Renaud, Kristin Schirmer, Songmei Wu, Carolin Drieschner

Permeable membranes are indispensable for in vitro epithelial barrier models. However, currently available polymer-based membranes are low in porosity and relatively thick, resulting in a limited permeability and unrealistic culture conditions. In this stu ...

Essential role of the TFIID subunit TAF4 in murine embryogenesis and embryonic stem cell differentiation

Daniel Alpern

TAF4 (TATA-binding protein-associated factor 4) and its paralogue TAF4b are components of the TFIID core module. We inactivated the murine Taf4a gene to address Taf4 function during embryogenesis. Here we show that Taf4a(-/-) embryos survive until E9.5 whe ...

Scleractinian coral morphogenesis

Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

Metamorphosis is a crucial step in the life cycle of a scleractinian coral: The swimming coral larva, the planula, settles, and metamorphoses into a sessile calcifying primary polyp, which subsequently grows into an adult colony. Importantly, morphogenesis ...

Investigation of cell death mechanisms in human lymphatic endothelial cells undergoing photodynamic therapy

Witold Waldemar Kilarski

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to induce ablation and functional occlusion of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels. However, direct effects of PDT on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) have not been studied so far. The aim of this stud ...

Platinum nanopetal-based potassium sensors for acute cell death monitoring

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino

Growing interest in the role of ions as cell death regulators has led to the consideration of K+, which plays a major role in events such as necrosis, apoptosis and osmotic shock. These mechanisms induce effluxes of K+, which can be m ...

Cortical neurons gradually attain a post-mitotic state

Johannes Gräff

Once generated, neurons are thought to permanently exit the cell cycle and become irreversibly differentiated. However, neither the precise point at which this post-mitotic state is attained nor the extent of its irreversibility is clearly defined. Here we ...

Mechanical and biochemical characterisation of a articular cartilage based dECM hydrogel

Quentin Vermeire

In this study we present a photocrosslinkable and layerable hydrogel based on decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) intended for in vitromodels of cartilage tissue formation. dECM can provide cellular environments that are close to the native tissue s ...

Tbx6, Mesp-b and ripply1 regulate the onset of skeletal myogenesis in zebrafish

Andrew Charles Oates

During embryonic development, the paraxial mesoderm becomes segmented into somites, within which proliferative muscle progenitors and muscle fibers establish the skeletal musculature. Here, we demonstrate that a gene network previously implicated in somite ...
