Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

Bioengineering the Human Muscle Stem-Cell Niche for Therapeutic Applications

Omid Mashinchian

In spite of decades of research, no feasible method for obtaining sufficient numbers of uncommitted muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for therapy of degenerative muscle diseases exists. One of the most fundamental problems associated with stem cell therapy of musc ...

In Vitro Culture of the Insect Endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii Highlights Bacterial Genes Involved in Host-Symbiont Interaction

Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer, Florent François Masson, Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez

Endosymbiotic bacteria associated with eukaryotic hosts are omnipresent in nature, particularly in insects. Studying the bacterial side of host-symbiont interactions is, however, often limited by the unculturability and genetic intractability of the symbio ...

An Integrated Microfluidic Device For C-Elegans Early Embryogenesis Studies And Drug Assays

Martinus Gijs, Pierre Gönczy, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong, Radek Jankele, Jingwei Zhang

The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is a widely used model for the functional analysis of dynamic cellular processes, such as chromosome segregation, cytokinesis or lineage analysis. However, the conventional embryo preparation method that relies on manually ...

Towards brain-on-a-chip

Yufei Ren

Since the first compartmentalized neuronal culture described by Robert B. Campenot in 1977, compartmentalized microfluidic devices have been widely used to engineer the cellular environment for cell culture. In previous research by Dr. Anja Kunze, a microf ...

Oriented MFI membranes by gel-less secondary growth of sub-100 nm MFI-nanosheet seed layers

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Han Zhang

A zeolite membrane fabrication process combining 2D-zeolite nanosheet seeding and gel-free secondary growth is described. This process produces selective molecular sieve films that are as thin as 100 nm and exhibit record high permeances for xylene- and bu ...

Do crosstalks with primary and secondary metabolism limit or stimulate the detoxification of xenobiotics?

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Because plants are static and live in a competitive and sometimes hostile environment, they have evolved efficient mechanisms that protect them from abiotic and biotic stresses. These mechanisms include detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic compou ...

Phytoremediation of polluted soils: hype, hope and facts

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Different plant species, ecotypes, varieties or cultivars can be selected, tailored and harnessed for the remediation of polluted soils, sites and brownfields, as well as for the phytotreatment of domestic or industrial wastewater. Several approaches are p ...

Silk Hydrogels as Soft Substrates for Neural Tissue Engineering

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Federico Tortelli, Amy Marie Hopkins

There is great need for soft biomaterials that match the stiffness of human tissues for tissue engineering and regeneration. Hydrogels are frequently employed for extracellular matrix functionalization and to provide appropriate mechanical cues. It is chal ...

Chip-scale array of artificial muscles for investigation of cell mechanotransduction properties

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Samin Akbari

We present an array of micro artificial muscles developed for investigation of cells response to mechanical strain. Few technologies can be used to realise this type of study. However, in most cases a compromise is required and one must choose between high ...
