Systematic inference and comparison of multi-scale chromatin sub-compartments connects spatial organization to cell phenotypes

Elisa Oricchio, Daniele Tavernari, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Giovanni Ciriello, Marco Mina

Chromatin compartmentalization reflects biological activity. However, inference of chromatin sub-compartments and compartment domains from chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) experiments is limited by data resolution. As a result, these have been charac ...

Subphthalocyanine-based electron-transport materials for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Hiroyuki Kanda, Nadja Isabelle Desiree Klipfel

Non-fullerene ETMs are emerging as a hot topic in the field of PSCs due to the inherent shortcomings of fullerene derivatives. Herein, the potential of SubPcs as ETMs in PSCs has been evaluated. To this end, ETMs based on two SubPcs (with chlorine or fluor ...

Engineering next generation organoids through guided stem cell self-organisation

Mikhail Nikolaev

One of the long-standing goals in the field of tissue engineering is the fabrication of de novo tissues or even organs to provide better tissue models for basic research and drug discovery, and to alleviate a shortage of donor organs in the future. Resear ...

In vitro modeling of early mouse development

Mehmet Ugur Girgin

Previous attempts to recapitulate embryogenesis in a developmentally relevant context started with aggregates composed of a few thousand ESCs, termed embryoid bodies (EB), that upon induction of differentiation reveal a surprising level of autonomous cell ...

The Effect of Thiol Structure on Allyl Sulfide Photodegradable Hydrogels and their Application as a Degradable Scaffold for Organoid Passaging

Matthias Lütolf, Nikolche Gjorevski

Intestinal organoids are useful in vitro models for basic and translational studies aimed at understanding and treating disease. However, their routine culture relies on animal-derived matrices that limit translation to clinical applications. In fact, ther ...

Highly efficient, stable and hysteresis-less planar perovskite solar cell based on chemical bath treated Zn2SnO4 electron transport layer

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Zaiwei Wang, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Seckin Akin, Marco Alejandro Ruiz Preciado, Faranak Sadegh

The electron transport layer (ETL) is a key constituent in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It should provide efficient and selective electron extraction, low resistivity and high stability. Here, zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4, ZSO) is employed as an ETL in planar ...

Homeostatic mini-intestines through scaffold-guided organoid morphogenesis

Matthias Lütolf, Nathalie Brandenberg, Yoji Tabata, Nikolche Gjorevski, Mikhail Nikolaev, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Olga Mitrofanova, Devanjali Dutta

Epithelial organoids, such as those derived from stem cells of the intestine, have great potential for modelling tissue and disease biology(1-4). However, the approaches that are used at present to derive these organoids in three-dimensional matrices(5,6)r ...

Endogenous fluctuations of OCT 4 and SOX 2 bias pluripotent cell fate decisions

David Michael Suter, Cédric Deluz, Torgil Elias Friman, Andrea Brigitta Alber, Subashika Govindan, Daniel Strebinger

SOX2 and OCT4 are pioneer transcription factors playing a key role in embryonic stem (ES) cell self‐renewal and differentiation. How temporal fluctuations in their expression levels bias lineage commitment is unknown. Here, we generated knock‐in reporter f ...

Efficient decellularization of equine tendon with preserved biomechanical properties and cytocompatibility for human tendon surgery indications

Dominique Pioletti, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Jens Antons, Cédric Peneveyre, Anthony Grognuz, Pierre-Arnaud Aeberhard

Chronic and acute tendon injuries are frequent afflictions, for which treatment is often long and unsatisfactory. When facing extended injuries, matrices and scaffolds with sufficient biomechanical properties are required for surgical repair and could addi ...

Stability in 3D and 2D/3D hybrid perovskite solar cells studied by EFISHG and IS techniques under light and heat soaking

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Sanghyun Paek, Kyung Taek Cho, Zubair Ahmad

We investigate the effect of temperature and light soaking on the stability and charge carrier behavior in triple cation 3-Dimensional (3D) and 2-Dimensional (2D)/3-Dimensional perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using electric field induced second harmonic gene ...
