Mimicking Loading-Induced Cartilage Self-Heating in Vitro Promotes Matrix Formation in Chondrocyte-Laden Constructs with Different Mechanical Properties
Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo
Articular cartilage presents a mechanically sensitive tissue. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type residing in the tissue, perceive and react to physical cues as signals that significantly modulate their behavior. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with ...
2023Human Cochlear Nucleus on 7 Tesla Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Insights Into Micro-anatomy and Function for Auditory Brainstem Implant Surgery
Objective:The cochlear nucleus (CN) is the target of the auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Most ABI candidates have Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and distorted brainstem anatomy from bilateral vestibular schwannomas. The CN is difficult to characterize as ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2020Electrically shielded dielectric elastomer actuators for the study of the mechanical perturbation of cardiomyocytes
Herbert Shea, Matthias Imboden, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Etienne de Coulon
We present the development of a mechanically active bioreactor. Using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), we are able to mechanically perturb cell cultures in a controlled environment. With tailored pre-strain and compliant electrodes, it is possible to ...
2016Acetylated tubulin is essential for touch sensation in mice
Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond, Antonino Asaro
At its most fundamental level, touch sensation requires the translation of mechanical energy into mechanosensitive ion channel opening, thereby generating electro-chemical signals. Our understanding of this process, especially how the cytoskeleton influenc ...
Elife Sciences Publications Ltd2016Co-Pathological Connected Primary Neurons in a Microfluidic Device for Alzheimer Studies
Philippe Renaud, Robert Meissner, Anja Kunze, Serena Brando
This communication presents a novel experi- mental model for Alzheimer studies, where connected pri- mary neurons were set into subtend, co-pathological states. Cortical neurons were cultured in two separated cell com- partments in a microfluidic device. A ...
Wiley-Blackwell2011Microfluidic hydrogel layers with multiple gradients to stimulate and perfuse three-dimensional neuronal cell cultures
Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Michele Giugliano, Anja Kunze
We present a simple and easy to handle PDMS microfluidic device for neuronal cell culture studies in three-dimensional hydrogel scaffolds. The hydrogel is structured in parallel layers to reconstruct cell layers close to the natural environment. Dissociate ...
Elsevier2009Effects of fibrin micromorphology on neurite growth from dorsal root ganglia cultured in three-dimensional fibrin gels
The effect of fibrin matrix micromorphology on neurite growth was investigated by measuring the length of neurites growing in three-dimensional fibrin gels with well characterized micromorphologies. Dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from 7-day chick embryos were ...
