Interfacing a salamander brain with a salamander-like robot: Control of speed and direction with calcium signals from brainstem reticulospinal neurons

Auke Ijspeert, Robin Thandiackal

An important topic in designing neuroprosthetic devices for animals or patients with spinal cord injury is to find the right brain regions with which to interface the device. In vertebrates, an interesting target could be the reticulospinal (RS) neurons, w ...

Filterable Agents for Hyperpolarization of Water, Metabolites, and Proteins

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Aurélien Bornet, Pascal Miéville, Sami Jannin, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Estel Canet Martinez, Xiao Ji, Robert Konrat

Hyperpolarization is generated by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) using a polymer-based polarizing agent dubbed FLAP (filterable labeled agents for polarization). It consists of a thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), also known a ...

Alkali uptake in calcium alumina silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Uptake of the alkalis K and Na by calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and calcium alumina silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H) of molar Ca/Si ratios = 0.6 to 1.6 and molar Al/Si ratio = 0 or 0.05 has been studied at 20 degrees C. Alkalis are thought to be bound in the ...

A critical concentration of N-terminal pyroglutamylated amyloid beta drives the misfolding of Ab1-42 into more toxic aggregates

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri

A wide consensus based on robust experimental evidence indicates pyroglutamylated amyloid-beta isoform (A beta pE3-42) as one of the most neurotoxic peptides involved in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, A beta pE3-42 co-oligomerized with exce ...

Producing precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) from steelmaking slags using the slag2pcc concept

Calcium-containing slag material is produced in iron- and steelmaking worldwide, including Finland. One process route utilizing this calcium, being developed towards large-scale application, is the so-called slag2pcc concept. Using ammonium salts, up to 50 ...

Incorporation of aluminium in calcium-silicate-hydrates

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was synthetized at 20 degrees C to investigate the effect of aluminium uptake (Al/Si = 0-0.33) in the presence and absence of alkalis on the composition and the solubility of a C-S-H with a Ca/Si equal to 1.0. C-S-H incorpo ...

A hybrid computational model to predict chemotactic guidance of growth cones

Silvestro Micera

The overall strategy used by growing axons to find their correct paths during the nervous system development is not yet completely understood. Indeed, some emergent and counterintuitive phenomena were recently described during axon pathfinding in presence ...

Microfluidic chip for monitoring Ca2+ transport through a confluent layer of intestinal cells

Martinus Gijs, Paolo Silacci, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Josias Basil Wacker, Christine Ruffert, Guy Vergères

The absorption of dietary calcium through the intestinal barrier is essential for maintaining health in general and especially of the bone system. We propose a microfluidic model that studies free calcium (Ca2+) transport through a confluent monolayer of C ...
