Disease Modeling and Phenotypic Drug Screening for Diabetic Cardiomyopathy using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Michael Weber

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a complication of type 2 diabetes, with known contributions of lifestyle and genetics. We develop environmentally and genetically driven in vitro models of the condition using human-induced-pluripotent-stem-cell-derived cardiomyo ...

Development of bioactive hydrogel capsules for the 3D expansion of pluripotent stem cells in bioreactors

Matthias Lütolf, Yoji Tabata

Pluripotent stem cells hold great promise for many pharmaceutical and therapeutic applications. However, the lack of scalable methodologies to expand these cells to clinically relevant numbers is a major roadblock in realizing their full potential. To addr ...

Dual-regulated Lentiviral Vector for Gene Therapy of X-linked Chronic Granulomatosis

Didier Trono

Regulated transgene expression may improve the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy. Clinical trials for X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) employing gammaretroviral vectors were limited by insertional oncogenesis o ...

Viability Assay and Osteogenic Induction of Bone Progenitor Cells

Tanja Cloé Hausherr, Florence Gavin

Tissue engineering scaffolds are the new approach to replace common bone grafts. The first aim of this project was to investigate whether bone progenitor cells used in previous studies can undergo osteogenic differentiation. In osteogenic staining experime ...

Nodal.Gdf1 Heterodimers with Bound Prodomains Enable Serum-independent Nodal Signaling and Endoderm Differentiation

Daniel Constam, Christophe Fuerer

The TGF beta family member Nodal is central to control pluripotent stem cell fate, but its use as a stem cell differentiation factor is limited by low specific activity. During development, Nodal depends on growth and differentiation factor (Gdf)-1 and on ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

Toward compression of small cell population: Harnessing stress in passive regions of dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We present a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) for in vitro analysis of mm2 biological samples under periodic compressive stress. Understanding how mechanical stimuli affect cell functions could lead to significant advances in diseases diagnosis and drug ...

In situ cell manipulation through enzymatic hydrogel photopatterning

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Laura Kolb, Martin Ehrbar

The physicochemical properties of hydrogels can be manipulated in both space and time through the controlled application of a light beam. However, methods for hydrogel photopatterning either fail to maintain the bioactivity of fragile proteins and are thus ...

Epiphyseal Chondro-Progenitor Cell Therapy For Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Salim Elias Darwiche

Articular cartilage regeneration poses particularly tough challenges for implementing cell-based therapies. Many cell types have been investigated looking for a balanced combination of responsiveness and stability, yet techniques are still far from definin ...

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Adult Midgut Compartmentalization in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Bart Deplancke, Jean Philippe Boquete, Dani Osman

Although the gut is a central organ of Eumetazoans and is essential for organismal health, our understanding of its morphological and molecular determinants remains rudimentary. Here, we provide a comprehensive atlas of Drosophila adult midgut. Specificall ...
