Temperature, humidity, and ionisation effect of iodine oxoacid nucleation

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Houssni Lamkaddam

Iodine oxoacids are recognised for their significant contribution to the formation of new particles in marine and polar atmospheres. Nevertheless, to incorporate the iodine oxoacid nucleation mechanism into global simulations, it is essential to comprehend ...

Development of a numerical model to assess the influence of fluid-structure interactions on the dynamic behavior of geomembrane systems in pressure waterways

Simon Randin

The need to maintain and expand hydraulic structures is a major challenge for the coming energy transition, especially in Western countries. One technique already widespread allowing to meet these issues consists in the use of geomembranes to overcome prob ...

Variants in USP48 encoding ubiquitin hydrolase are associated with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hereditary hearing loss

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

Non-Syndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss (NSHHL) is a genetically heterogeneous sensory disorder with about 120 genes already associated. Through exome sequencing (ES) and data aggregation, we identified a family with six affected individuals and one unrelate ...

Mechanical Properties of Soft Biological Membranes for Organ-on-a-Chip Assessed by Bulge Test and AFM

Georg Fantner, Johann Michler, Veronika Cencen

Advanced in vitro models called “organ-on-a-chip” can mimic the specific cellular environment found in various tissues. Many of these models include a thin, sometimes flexible, membrane aimed at mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold of in vivo ...

Inner ear cellular imaging through scattering bone

Demetri Psaltis, Marilisa Romito

Inner ear imaging is important for the assessment of hearing disorders. A major cause of hearing loss is the damage to the sensory hair cells, which are located inside the cochlea, a spiral-shaped bone in the inner ear. Imaging of intracochear hair cells i ...

Biomedical optical techniques for intracochlear cellular imaging

Marilisa Romito

Imaging the inner ear microanatomy is of great importance for the assessment of the state of the cells responsible for sound detection. Hearing disorders are mainly due to a malfunction of the cochlea, the bone containing the cells inside the inner ear. Un ...

Imaging hair cells through laser-ablated cochlear bone

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Marilisa Romito

We report an innovative technique for the visualization of cells through an overlying scattering medium by combining femtosecond laser bone ablation and two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) microscopy. We demonstrate the technique by imaging hair cell ...

Auditory Brainstem Implants: Recent Progress and Future Perspectives

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) was first developed nearly 40 years ago and provides auditory rehabilitation to patients who are deaf and ineligible for cochlear implant surgery due to abnormalities of the cochlea and cochlear nerve. The aims of the f ...

Selective femtosecond laser ablation via two-photon fluorescence imaging through a multimode fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Marilisa Romito

We demonstrate the ability of a multimode fiber probe to provide two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging feedback that guides the femtosecond laser ablation (FLA) in biological samples for highly selective modifications. We implement the system through the p ...

Circadian Regulation of Cochlear Sensitivity to Noise by Circulating Glucocorticoids

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The cochlea possesses a robust circadian clock machinery that regulates auditory function. How the cochlear clock is influenced by the circadian system remains unknown. Here, we show that cochlear rhythms are system driven and require local Bmal1 as well a ...
