Recording physiological history of cells with chemical labeling

Recordings of the physiological history of cells provide insights into biological processes, yet obtaining such recordings is a challenge. To address this, we introduce a method to record transient cellular events for later analysis. We designed proteins t ...

Automated Dual-Mode Cell Monitoring To Simultaneously Explore Calcium Dynamics and Contraction-Relaxation Kinetics within Drug-Treated Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Bokyoung Kim, Pierre Marquet

This manuscript proposes a new dual-mode cell imaging system for studying the relationships between calcium dynamics and the contractility process of cardiomyocytes derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. Practically, this dual-mode cell imaging ...

Autophagy as a Gatekeeper of Intestinal Homeostasis

Bruno Lemaitre, Xiaoxue Li

The control of gut homeostasis by autophagy in the context of host-microbiota relationship remains poorly understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Nagai et al. (2021) show that autophagy plays a crucial role in enterocytes to prevent the mis-regula ...

Signal-to-signal neural networks for improved spike estimation from calcium imaging data

Jilt Sebastian

Information processing by a population of neurons is studied using two-photon calcium imaging techniques. A neuronal spike results in an increased intracellular calcium concentration. Fluorescent calcium indicators change their brightness upon a change in ...

Continuous in situ measurement of dissolved methane in Lake Kivu using a membrane inlet laser spectrometer

Jérôme Chappellaz

We report the first high-resolution continuous profile of dissolved methane in the shallow water of Lake Kivu, Rwanda. The measurements were performed using an in situ dissolved gas sensor, called Sub-Ocean, based on a patented membrane-based extraction te ...

Extent of N-terminus exposure of monomeric alpha-synuclein determines its aggregation propensity

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki

As an intrinsically disordered protein, monomeric alpha-synuclein (aSyn) occupies a large conformational space. Certain conformations lead to aggregation prone and non-aggregation prone intermediates, but identifying these within the dynamic ensemble of mo ...

The Notch Ligand Jagged1 Regulates the Osteoblastic Lineage by Maintaining the Osteoprogenitor Pool

Freddy Radtke

Notch signaling is critical for osteoblastic differentiation; however, the specific contribution of individual Notch ligands is unknown. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the Notch ligand Jagged1 in osteoblastic cells. To determine if osteolineage Jagged ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fully Eulerian finite element approximation of a fluid-structure interaction problem in cardiac cells

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Aymen Laadhari

We propose in this paper an Eulerian finite element approximation of a coupled chemical fluid-structure interaction problem arising in the study of mesoscopic cardiac biomechanics. We simulate the active response of a myocardial cell (here considered as an ...
