In situ detection of multitarget impurities on contact lens by electrochemical scanning probe

Identifying multitarget impurities on contact lenses is challenging because traditional methods such as polymerase chain reaction cannot be used on the unknown target. Other sampling methods often require expensive antibodies or dyes. Therefore, this resea ...

Optical phase contrast imaging of human retinal cells by changing the tissue refractive index

Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Laura Emmanuelle Kowalczuk, Mathieu Künzi

Purpose : Based on oblique partially coherent illumination of transparent samples, we developed a simple custom Optical Phase Imaging (OPI) microscope providing a label-free, semi-quantitative phase contrast imaging. The aim of this study was to explore th ...

Cyclodextrin Modulated Type I Collagen Self-Assembly to Engineer Biomimetic Cornea Implants

Francesco Stellacci, Evangelia-Nefeli Athanasopoulou

Collagen-rich tissues in the cornea exhibit unique and highly organized extracellular matrix ultrastructures, which contribute to its high load-bearing capacity and light transmittance. Corneal collagen fibrils are controlled during development by small le ...

Corneal epithelial stem cells and their niche at a glance

Freddy Radtke, Craig Nowell

The corneal epitheliumacts as a protective barrier on the anterior ocular surface and is essential for maintaining transparency of the cornea and thus visual acuity. During both homeostasis and repair, the corneal epithelium is maintained by self-renewing ...

Deciphering the subcapsular epithelial cells in human fetal and postnatal thymus

Diane Sophie Elodie Hemon

Most papers related to thymus focus on the cortical and medullary epithelial cells whereas the subcapsular layer is ignored. In this thesis, we are providing new informations about the subcapsular thymic epithelial cells (TECs) by comparing them to cortica ...

Chronic inflammation imposes aberrant cell fate in regenerating epithelia through mechanotransduction

Freddy Radtke, Matthias Lütolf, Georg Fantner, Yann Barrandon, Sylke Höhnel, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Craig Nowell, Luca Azzolin

Chronic inflammation is associated with a variety of pathological conditions in epithelial tissues, including cancer, metaplasia and aberrant wound healing. In relation to this, a significant body of evidence suggests that aberration of epithelial stem and ...

Capturing epidermal stemness

Andrea Zaffalon

Regenerative medicine aims to replace or regenerate tissues or organs to re-establish their normal function. In 1975, Rheinwald and Green developed a technique to isolate and amplify epidermal stem cells. Their discovery led to the development of cultured ...

Mechanical and Functional Study of Cell Physiology at the Nanoscale

Pascal Damian Odermatt

By live-cell imaging of biological samples dynamic cellular processes can be resolved. Fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are both capable of imaging live cells. By combining these techniques structural as well as functional inf ...

Visuo-vestibular mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness

Joachim Jean-Marie Forget

Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...

LRIG1 inhibits STAT3-dependent inflammation to maintain corneal homeostasis

Yann Barrandon, Andrea Zaffalon

Corneal integrity and transparency are indispensable for good vision. Cornea homeostasis is entirely dependent upon corneal stem cells, which are required for complex wound-healing processes that restore corneal integrity following epithelial damage. Here, ...
