In vitro investigations of red blood cell phase separation in a complex microchannel network

Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels. Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging bifurcations, leading to a heterogeneous RBC distribution that ultimately affects ...

An optimized and validated 384-well plate assay to test platelet function in a high-throughput screening format

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Olivier Burri, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Augusto Martins Lima, Maiia Bragina

Despite significant advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high risk of hemorrhage. In order to develop new drugs, methods to measure platelet function must be adapted for the high-throughpu ...

Adult Drosophila Lack Hematopoiesis but Rely on a Blood Cell Reservoir at the Respiratory Epithelia to Relay Infection Signals to Surrounding Tissues

Bruno Lemaitre, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond

The use of adult Drosophila melanogaster as a model for hematopoiesis or organismal immunity has been debated. Addressing this question, we identify an extensive reservoir of blood cells (hemocytes) at the respiratory epithelia (tracheal air sacs) of the t ...

Flow simulation and hemolysis modeling for a blood centrifuge device

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville, Patric Hagmann

A common blood separation technique is to accelerate the sedimentation of blood constituents by centrifugation and then collect these constituents separately. When subjected to conditions of excessive stress, hemolysis can however occur, whereby the membra ...

Towards higher precision in instrument guided liver surgery: automatic registration of 3D ultrasound with pre-operative MeVis-CT

Delphine Ribes Lemay, Matthias Peterhans

Purpose Liver cancer is the 5 most common cancer and shows poor prognosis. Surgical removal of liver tumours, the only existing curative treatment, can merely be used in 10-20% of the case. Increasing surgical precision is a key-challenge to give more pati ...

Separation of platelets from other blood cells in continuous-flow by dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Raphaël Tornay

We present a microfluidic device capable of separating platelets from other blood cells in continuous flow using dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation. The use of hydrodynamic focusing in combination with the application of a dielectrophoretic force a ...

In vivo evaluation of human fetal cells as allogenic cell source for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Corinne Scaletta

The aim of this study was to test the association of fetal bone cells with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering. As animal models, the craniotomy and the femoral condyle approaches in rats were chosen to follow cortical and trabecular bo ...
