Unraveling cartilage degeneration through synergistic effects of hydrostatic pressure and biomimetic temperature increase
Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo, Vijay Kumar Rana
Cartilage degeneration, typically viewed as an irreversible, vicious cycle, sees a significant reduction in two essential biophysical cues: the well-established hydrostatic pressure (HP) and the recently discovered transient temperature increase. Our study ...
Cambridge2023Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in breast cancer
Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells from the primary tumor travel through the blood stream to generate a secondary tumor site in a distant organ. Although very few cells are able to make this journey, the resulting effects are dire since most c ...
EPFL2023Design and computational optimization of compliance-matching aortic grafts
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia
Introduction: Synthetic vascular grafts have been widely used in clinical practice for aortic replacement surgery. Despite their high rates of surgical success, they remain significantly less compliant than the native aorta, resulting in a phenomenon calle ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2023Different priming states of synaptic vesicles underlie distinct release probabilities at hippocampal excitatory synapses
A stunning example of synaptic diversity is the postsynaptic target cell-type-dependent difference in synap-tic efficacy in cortical networks. Here, we show that CA1 pyramidal cell (PC) to fast spiking interneuron (FSIN) connections have 10-fold larger rel ...
CELL PRESS2022A data-driven polynomial approach to reproduce the scar tissue outgrowth around neural implants
Despite the huge complexity of the foreign body reaction, a quantitative assessment over time of the scar tissue thickness around implanted materials is needed to figure out the evolution of neural implants for long times. A data-driven approach, based on ...
SPRINGER2020An Overview of Serum Albumin Interactions with Biomedical Alloys
Understanding the interactions between biomedical alloys and body fluids is of importance for the successful and safe performance of implanted devices. Albumin, as the first protein that comes in contact with an implant surface, can determine the biocompat ...
MDPI2020Flexure-based mecano-optical multi-degree-of-freedom transducers dedicated to medical force sensing instruments
This thesis develops novel multi-degrees-of-freedom flexure-based force sensors by exploiting white light interferometry. Fabry-Pérot interferometry measurement has nanometric accuracy which yields sub milli-Newton force sensing accuracy. Such force sensin ...
EPFL2020Time-Dependent Diffusion MRI in Cancer: Tissue Modeling and Applications
In diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been recognized as a useful and sensitive surrogate for cell density, paving the way for non-invasive tumor staging, and characterization of treatment efficacy in cancer. How ...
