Motility as a tool to uncover mobility practices

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Alexis Gumy, Eloi Antoine Maël Bernier

This paper investigate the causal relationships that exist between the motility, defined as the personal ability to be mobile (Kaufmann et al., 2015), and mobility behaviors. To do so, we use the first wave (2018) of the "national daily mobility panel" sur ...

Phagocytosis in Drosophila: From molecules and cellular machinery to physiology

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudia Melcarne

Phagocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that plays a key role in both host defence and tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. A range of surface receptors expressed on different cell types allow discriminating between self and non-sel ...

A microfluidic cell-trapping device to study dynamic host-microbe interactions at the single-cell level

John McKinney, Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé, Chiara Toniolo

Single-cell imaging of host-microbe interactions over time is impeded by cellular motility because the cells under scrutiny tend to migrate out of the imaging field. To overcome this technical challenge, we developed a microfluidic platform for imaging hun ...

Microarrays for the study of compartmentalized microorganisms in alginate microbeads and (W/O/W) double emulsions

Esther Amstad, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Armend Gazmeno Hati

Understanding of cells has mainly been achieved through analysis of average properties of large cellular populations. The increased awareness of cellular heterogeneity in various biological systems, spans from single bacterial cells to human tissue calls f ...

Generalized receptor law governs phototaxis in the phytoplankton Euglena gracilis

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Amos Maritan, Florian Altermatt

Phototaxis, the process through which motile organisms direct their swimming toward or away from light, is implicated in key ecological phenomena (including algal blooms and diel vertical migration) that shape the distribution, diversity, and productivity ...

ADAM17 Promotes Motility, Invasion, and Sprouting of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Renata Katarzyna Mezyk-Kopec

Tumor-associated lymphatic vessels actively participate in tumor progression and dissemination. ADAM17, a sheddase for numerous growth factors, cytokines, receptors, and cell adhesion molecules, is believed to promote tumor development, facilitating both t ...

Type IV pili mechanochemically regulate virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Joanne Netter Engel

Bacteria have evolved a wide range of sensing systems to appropriately respond to environmental signals. Here we demonstrate that the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa detects contact with surfaces on short timescales using the mechanical activ ...

Cooperative Roles of SDF-1 alpha and EGF Gradients on Tumor Cell Migration Revealed by a Robust 3D Microfluidic Model

Melody Swartz, Mingming Wu

Chemokine-mediated directed tumor cell migration within a three dimensional (3D) matrix, or chemoinvasion, is an important early step in cancer metastasis. Despite its clinical importance, it is largely unknown how cytokine and growth factor gradients with ...
