Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mechanosensing through label-free imaging of type IV pili
Bacteria are ubiquitously found in all sorts of environment. They're found in the ocean, soil, or even in our guts or on our skin. Independently of their niche, they can transition from a planktonic state were they freely swim in an aqueous environment to ...
EPFL2022Automated flow control of a multi-lane swimming chamber for small fishes indicates species-specific sensitivity to experimental protocols
In fishes, swimming performance is considered an important metric to measure fitness, dispersal and migratory abilities. The swimming performance of individual larval fishes is often integrated into models to make inferences on how environmental parameters ...
2021Self-organized patterning of cell morphology via mechanosensitive feedback
Tissue organization is often characterized by specific patterns of cell morphology. How such patterns emerge in developing tissues is a fundamental open question. Here, we investigate the emergence of tissue-scale patterns of cell shape and mechanical tiss ...
ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD2021Microfluidic culture platforms for C. elegans bacterial interaction and digestion studies at single-organism resolution
Increasing interest in understanding fundamental biological processes, among which aging and nutrition, has led to the study of simple and powerful model organisms, as the round-worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The nematode, selected by Sydney Bre ...
EPFL2021PDMS filter structures for size-dependent larval sorting and on-chip egg extraction of C. elegans
Martinus Gijs, Furkan Ayhan, Hüseyin Baris Atakan
C. elegans-based assays require age-synchronized populations prior to experimentation to achieve standardized sets of worm populations, due to which age-induced heterogeneous phenotyping effects can be avoided. There have been several approaches to synchro ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Microfluidic and micromechanical in vivo studies of Caenorhabditis elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most attractive model organisms in biomedical research for understanding human diseases and for drug testing at a whole-organism level, since many biological pathways and genes have been conserved between itself and hum ...
