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 ...

Marker-Free Automatic Quantification of Drug-Treated Cardiomyocytes with Digital Holographic Imaging

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Bokyoung Kim, Pierre Marquet

We use quantitative phase digital holographic microscopy (QP-DHM) to image and quantify the beating movement of cardiomyocytes, derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in control and drug-treated conditions. The development of an analysis algo ...

Image-Based Marker-Free Screening of GABA(A) Agonists, Antagonists, and Modulators

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain

The ionotropic GABA(A) receptors represent the main target for different groups of widely used drugs having hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. So far, most approaches used to assess GABA activity involve invasive low -throughput electrophysiological techniqu ...

Simultaneous dual-contrast three-dimensional imaging in live cells via optical diffraction tomography and fluorescence

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Chen Liu, Shanshan Kou

We report a dual-contrast method of simultaneously measuring and visualizing the volumetric structural information in live biological samples in three-dimensional (3D) space. By introducing a direct way of deriving the 3D scattering potential of the object ...

Quantification of stored red blood cell fluctuations by time-lapse holographic cell imaging

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

We propose methods to quantitatively calculate the fluctuation rate of red blood cells with nanometric axial and millisecond temporal sensitivity at the single-cell level by using time-lapse holographic cell imaging. For this quantitative analysis, cell me ...

Dual action of L-Lactate on the activity of NR2B-containing NMDA receptors: from potentiation to neuroprotection

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Kaspar Rothenfusser

L-Lactate is a positive modulator of NMDAR-mediated signaling resulting in plasticity gene induction and memory consolidation. However, L-Lactate is also able to protect neurons against excito-toxic NMDAR activity, an indication of a mitigating action of L ...

Quantitative phase-digital holographic microscopy: a new imaging modality to identify original cellular biomarkers of diseases

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Kaspar Rothenfusser

Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) has recently emerged as a powerful label-free technique in the field of living cell imaging allowing to non-invasively measure with a nanometric axial sensitivity cell structure and dynamics. Since the phase retardation ...

Comparisons of verbal fluency brain correlates between adults and adolescents suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A pilot study

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet

Background and Objectives: Prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunctions leading to cognitive deficits refer to a core feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). This exploratory study compares the effect of SSD on two stages of maturation of PFC. Methods: ...

L-Lactate protects neurons against excitotoxicity: implication of an ATP-mediated signaling cascade

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Kaspar Rothenfusser

Converging experimental data indicate a neuroprotective action of L-Lactate. Using Digital Holographic Microscopy, we observe that transient application of glutamate (100 μM; 2 min) elicits a NMDA-dependent death in 65% of mouse cortical neurons in culture ...
