Dispositif et procédé pour l'évaluation de la contraction cellulaire

Boris Hinz, Pierre Jean Arnould Wipff

A method for assessing cell contraction includes adhering contractile cells to an oxidized and cellular adhesion activated surface of a biocompatible silicone elastomer film. The biocompatible silicone elastomer film allows the cells to contract and wrinkl ...

The Mechanical Environment Modulates Intracellular Calcium Oscillation Activities of Myofibroblasts

Boris Hinz, Adriano Garonna, Lysianne Follonier Castella

Myofibroblast contraction is fundamental in the excessive tissue remodeling that is characteristic of fibrotic tissue contractures. Tissue remodeling during development of fibrosis leads to gradually increasing stiffness of the extracellular matrix. We pro ...

The Nano-Scale Mechanical Properties of the Extracellular Matrix Regulate Dermal Fibroblast Function

Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Josiane Angèle Charlotte Smith-Clerc

Changes in the mechanical properties of dermis occur during skin aging or tissue remodeling and affect the activity of resident fibroblasts. With the aim to establish elastic culture substrates that reproduce the variable softness of dermis, we determined ...
