Temperature effect on connective tissue cells

Philippe Abdel Sayed, Salim Elias Darwiche

Intervertebral discs (IVD) are soft tissues that have viscoelastic behavior. Under cyclic loading, viscoelastic tissues dissipate the mechanical loading through the production of heat. In IVD, it is hypothesized that heat cannot be convected from the nucle ...

Functional single-cell hybridoma screening using droplet-based microfluidics

Christoph Merten

Monoclonal antibodies can specifically bind or even inhibit drug targets and have hence become the fastest growing class of human therapeutics. Although they can be screened for binding affinities at very high throughput using systems such as phage display ...

Calibration and use of the polar organic chemical integrative sampler-a critical review

The implementation of strict environmental quality standards for polar organic priority pollutants poses a challenge for monitoring programs. The polar organic chemical integrative sampler (POCIS) may help to address the challenge of measuring low and fluc ...

Identification of in vitro HSC fate regulators by differential lipid raft clustering

Matthias Lütolf, Alessandra Griffa, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Aline Roch, Stefan Kobel, Nicola Vannini

Most hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the bone marrow reside in a quiescent state and occasionally enter the cell cycle upon cytokine-induced activation. Although the mechanisms regulating HSC quiescence and activation remain poorly defined, recent studie ...

Earthquake Damage Scenario in Visp (Switzerland): From Active Fault to Building Damage

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel, Amin Karbassi

We present a damage scenario based on multidisciplinary study which covers the key elements of the earthquake risk chain in Visp. Full dynamic rupture simulations are performed using heterogeneous initial distributions, statistically compatible to the data ...

The weight method: A new screening method for estimating pesticide deposition from knapsack sprayers in developing countries

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Investigations of occupational and environmental risk caused by the use of agrochemicals have received considerable interest over the last decades. And yet, in developing countries, the lack of staff and analytical equipment as well the costs of chemical a ...

Room-temperature combinatorial screening of cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes for a step towards molecular control of colour purity

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Rosario Scopelliti, Euro Solari, Il Jung

A library of emission spectra of 90 bis-cyclometallated iridium complexes has been obtained using a simple combinatorial approach performed at room temperature. Trends in emission maxima are rationalized using Hammett parameters and invoking inter ligand e ...

In vitro platforms for tissue engineering: implications for basic research and clinical translation

Matthias Lütolf

Clinical translation of engineered tissues into regenerative medicine applications, and the effort to reduce the use of animals for the screening of drugs and other compounds, result in an increasing demand for human tissues engineered in vitro for implant ...

Optofluidic lab-on-a-chip for rapid algae population screening

Yves Bellouard

The rapid identification of algae species is not only of practical importance when monitoring unwanted adverse effects such as eutrophication, but also when assessing the water quality of watersheds. Here, we demonstrate a lab-on-a-chip that functions as a ...

Robust Ultrasound Travel-time Tomography Using the Bent Ray Model

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

We present a bent ray reconstruction algorithm for an ultrasound tomography (UT) scanner designed for breast screening. The scanner consists of a circular array of transmitters and receivers which encloses the object to be imaged. By solving a nonlinear sy ...
