Characterization of the Mercapturic Acid Pathway, an Important Phase II Biotransformation Route, in a Zebrafish Embryo Cell Line

Kristin Schirmer, Alena Tierbach

In view of the steadily increasing number of chemical compounds used in various products and applications, high-throughput toxicity screening techniques can help meeting the needs of 21st century risk assessment. Zebrafish (Danio rerio), especially its ear ...

A model for 3D deformation and reconstruction of contractile microtissues

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Jaemin Kim, Nikolaos Bouklas

Tissue morphogenesis and regeneration are essentially mechanical processes that involve coordination of cellular forces, production and structural remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM), and cell migration. Discovering the principles of cell–ECM interact ...

Podosomes, But not the Maturation status, Determine the Protease-Dependent 3D Migration in human Dendritic cells

Romain Guiet

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional Antigen-Presenting Cells scattered throughout antigen-exposed tissues and draining lymph nodes, and survey the body for pathogens. Their ability to migrate through tissues, a 3D environment, is essential for an effecti ...

Scleractinian coral morphogenesis : searching for stem cells and precursors of the skeletogenic calicodermis

Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

Metamorphosis is a crucial step in the life cycle of a scleractinian coral: The swimming coral larva, the planula, settles, and metamorphoses into a sessile calcifying primary polyp, which subsequently grows into an adult colony. Importantly, morphogenesis ...

Migration dynamics of breast cancer cells in a tunable 3D interstitial flow chamber

Philippe Renaud, Melody Swartz, Ulrike Haessler, Jeremy Teo

The migration of cells such as leukocytes, tumor cells, and fibroblasts through 3D matrices is critical for regulating homeostasis and immunity and for driving pathogenesis. Interstitial flow through the extracellular matrix, which can substantially increa ...

Elucidating the Role of Matrix Stiffness in 3D Cell Migration and Remodeling

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Martin Ehrbar

Reductionist in vitro model systems which mimic specific extracellular matrix functions in a highly controlled manner, termed artificial extracellular matrices (aECM), have increasingly been used to elucidate the role of cell-ECM interactions in regulating ...

Force Transmission in Migrating Cells

Maxime Fred Maurice Fournier

Ability to migrate is a fundamental property of all animal cells. Cell migration underlies such important physiological and pathological processes as embryonic development, immune response, tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis. As cell migration invol ...

Engineering 3D cell instructive microenvironments by rational assembly of artificial extracellular matrices and cell patterning

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Martin Ehrbar

Engineered artificial microenvironments hold enormous potential as models to study developmental, physiological, pathological, and regenerative processes under highly defined conditions. Such platforms aim at bridging the gap between traditional in vitro 2 ...

Effects of dynamic environments on extracellular morphogen gradients

Mark Fleury

Tissue morphogenesis and remodeling is often orchestrated by cell-secreted proteins, referred to as morphogens that can trigger cellular responses in addition to modifying the local extracellular matrix (ECM). Of specific interest is the distribution of ce ...

Tracking retrograde flow in keratocytes: news from the front

Jean-Jacques Meister, Sophie Bohnet, Alexander Verkhovskiy

Actin assembly at the leading edge of the cell is believed to drive protrusion, whereas membrane resistance and contractile forces result in retrograde flow of the assembled actin network away from the edge. Thus, cell motion and shape changes are expected ...
