Understanding the Mechanobiology of Early Mammalian Development through Bioengineered Models

Matthias Lütolf, Stefano Davide Vianello

Research in developmental biology has been recently enriched by a multitude of in vitro models recapitulating key milestones of mammalian embryogenesis. These models obviate the challenge posed by the inaccessibility of implanted embryos, multiply experime ...

Functional analysis of RIP toxins from the Drosophila endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez

BackgroundInsects frequently live in close relationship with symbiotic bacteria that carry out beneficial functions for their host, like protection against parasites and viruses. However, in some cases, the mutualistic nature of such associations is put in ...

Device and method for sorting biological entities

Francesco Mondada, Norbert Crot, Frank Bonnet

A device for sorting biological entities is disclosed. The device comprises a channel to canalize the biological entities and a selector having slots to accommodate said entities. Means for detecting and analysing an optical parameter of the biological ent ...

8-Channel Single Embryo Pipette For Accurate C-Elegans Bioassays

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Li Dong, Jingwei Zhang

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Accurate control of the number of worms is a primary step for quantitative biological or bioch ...

Enhancing developmental rate and quality of mouse single blastomeres into blastocysts using a microplatform

Philippe Renaud, Leila Montazeri, Hanie Kavand

The present work reports the beneficial effects of using a microplatform on the development of mouse single blastomeres (SBs) to the blastocyst stage. Development of blastocysts from SBs separated from two‐ and four‐cell stage embryos (two‐ and four‐cell S ...

An Integrated Microfluidic Device For C-Elegans Early Embryogenesis Studies And Drug Assays

Martinus Gijs, Pierre Gönczy, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong, Radek Jankele, Jingwei Zhang

The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is a widely used model for the functional analysis of dynamic cellular processes, such as chromosome segregation, cytokinesis or lineage analysis. However, the conventional embryo preparation method that relies on manually ...

Ovary-specific depletion of the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 compromises expansion of the cumulus oophorus but not fertilization by intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Kristina Schoonjans

The orphan nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (aka Nuclear receptor subfamily 5, Group A, Member 2 (Nr5a2)), is widely expressed in mammalian tissues, and its ovarian expression is restricted to granulosa cells of activated follicles. We employed t ...

Molecular Criteria for Defining the Naive Human Pluripotent State

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Marc Samuel Friedli, Alexandra Iouranova, Michaël Imbeault, Julien Paul André Pontis, Haoyi Wang

Recent studies have aimed to convert cultured human pluripotent cells to a naive state, but it remains unclear to what extent the resulting cells recapitulate in vivo naive pluripotency. Here we propose a set of molecular criteria for evaluating the naive ...

Versatile size-dependent sorting of C-elegans nematodes and embryos using a tunable microfluidic filter structure

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong

The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Its life cycle consists of an embryo stage, four larval stages that can be clearly distinguis ...
