Angiostatic kinase inhibitors to sustain photodynamic angio-occlusion

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Blaise Lovisa

Targeted angiostatic therapy receives major attention for the treatment of cancer and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used as an effective clinical approach for these diseases. Since PDT can cause an an ...

Computational approaches to developmental patterning

Andrew Charles Oates

Computational approaches are breaking new ground in understanding how embryos form. Here, we discuss recent studies that couple precise measurements in the embryo with appropriately matched modeling and computational methods to investigate classic embryoni ...

Black-box optimization benchmarking of IPOP-saACM-ES and BIPOP-saACM-ES on the BBOB-2012 noiseless testbed

Ilya Loshchilov

In this paper, we study the performance of IPOP-saACM-ES and BIPOP-saACM-ES, recently proposed self-adaptive surrogate-assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies. Both algorithms were tested using restarts till a total number of function ev ...

Embryonic stem cell potency fluctuates with endogenous retrovirus activity

Didier Trono, Helen Mary Rowe

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from blastocyst-stage embryos and are thought to be functionally equivalent to the inner cell mass, which lacks the ability to produce all extraembryonic tissues. Here we identify a rare transient cell population withi ...

Voltammetric studies of hexachromic anion transfer reactions across micro-water/polyvinylchloride-2-nitrophenyloctylether gel interfaces for sensing applications

Hubert Girault, Valérie Devaud

The transfer reactions of various anionic hexavalent chromium species across a polarized water/polyvinylchloride-2-nitrophenyloctylether (PVC-NPOE) interface featuring a 66 microhole array are described for the development of selective and sensitive Cr(VI) ...

Asymmetric Spindle Positioning and Intracellular Trafficking in C. Elegans Embryos

Kalyani Thyagarajan

Asymmetric cell division is critical for generating daughter cells that possess distinct fates during development and in stem cell lineages. Correct orientation of the mitotic spindle with respect to the polarity axis is crucial to this process. In the one ...

Whole-embryo modeling of early segmentation in Drosophila identifies robust and fragile expression domains

Felix Naef, Christian Antonio Pozzorini, Jonathan Bieler

Segmentation of the Drosophila melanogaster embryo results from the dynamic establishment of spatial mRNA and protein patterns. Here, we exploit recent temporal mRNA and protein expression measurements on the full surface of the blastoderm to calibrate a d ...

ASSET: A robust algorithm for the automated segmentation and standardization of early Caenorhabditis elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Felix Naef, Simon Blanchoud, Yemima Suryani Budirahardja

The early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is an attractive model to investigate evolutionarily conserved cellular mechanisms. However, there is a paucity of automated methods to gather quantitative information with subcellular precision in this system. We de ...

Imaging proprotein convertase activities and their regulation in the implanting mouse blastocyst

Daniel Constam

Axis formation and allocation of pluripotent progenitor cells to the germ layers are governed by the TGF-β-related Nodal precursor and its secreted proprotein convertases (PCs) Furin and Pace4. However, when and where Furin and Pace4 first become active ha ...

Temperature gradient stimulation for cell division in C. Elegans Embryos on chip

Philippe Renaud, Pierre Gönczy, Alexandra Bezler, Sophie Baranek Delasoie, Christian Adamczyk

This paper reports on a new microfluidic device for temperature stimulation of cell in in-vitro culture. Micro- electrodes in a meander shape are embedded into the microfluidic channels to generate either a temperature gradient through the culture chamber ...
