In situ quantification of osmotic pressure within living embryonic tissues
Sangwoo Kim, Antoine Claude Jean Vian
Mechanics is known to play a fundamental role in many cellular and developmental processes. Beyond active forces and material properties, osmotic pressure is believed to control essential cell and tissue characteristics. However, it remains very challengin ...
2023Automated phenotyping of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos with a high-throughput-screening microfluidic platform
Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Tunç Alkanat
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively used as a model multicellular organism to study the influence of osmotic stress conditions and the toxicity of chemical compounds on developmental and motility-associated phenotypes. However, the sev ...
2020Triboelectric effect to harness fluid flow energy
Danick Briand, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Amr Yehia Hussien Mahmoud Arafat
We are reporting energy scavenging from fluid flows inside tubular structures using triboelectric effects. Two separate designs of triboelectric generators are proposed. A tubular design that uses liquid-solid interaction mechanism for water, and freestand ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Guanidinium can both Cause and Prevent the Hydrophobic Collapse of Biomacromolecules
A combination of Fourier transform infrared and phase transition measurements as well as molecular computer simulations, and thermodynamic modeling were performed to probe the mechanisms by which guanidinium (Gnd(+)) salts influence the stability of the co ...
2017Osmolarity: A hidden factor in Nanotoxicology
In the field of drug delivery, long circulating nanocarriers in the blood have many advantages such as targeted drug delivery and sustained release. Based on our current knowledge, evaluation of the effect of long circulating nanocarriers in the blood stre ...
Biomed Central Ltd2016On the Thermodynamics of Framework Breathing: A Free Energy Model for Gas Adsorption in MIL-53
When adsorbing guest molecules, the porous metal-organic framework MIL-53(Cr) may vary its cell parameters drastically while retaining its crystallinity. A first approach to the thermodynamic analysis of this "framework breathing" consists of comparing the ...
