In vivo transcriptomic profiling using cell encapsulation identifies effector pathways of systemic aging

Patrick Descombes, Jérome Feige, Sylviane Métairon, Omid Mashinchian, Filippo De Franceschi, Nicolas Bouche, Christophe Boss

Sustained exposure to a young systemic environment rejuvenates aged organisms and promotes cellular function. However, due to the intrinsic complexity of tissues it remains challenging to pinpoint niche-independent effects of circulating factors on specifi ...

A viscosity-dependent affinity sensor for continuous monitoring of glucose in biological fluids

Peter Ryser, Jean-Michel Sallese, Eric Meurville, Christophe Boss

We present a viscometric affinity biosensor for continuous monitoring of glucose in biological fluids such as blood and plasma. The sensing principle of this chemico-mechanical sensor is based upon the viscosity variation of a sensitive fluid with glucose ...

MULTI-ANALYTE DETECTION FOR BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS Towards Continous Monitoring of Glucose, Ionized Calcium and pH using a Viscometric Affinity Biosensor

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Christophe Boss, Frédéric Schmitt, Pablo Dosil Rosende

We present a viscometric affinity biosensor that can potentially allow continuous multi-analyte monitoring in biological fluids like blood or plasma. The sensing principle is based on the detection of viscosity changes of a polymeric solution which has a s ...

Experimental characterization of the distribution of collagen fiber recruitment

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Christophe Boss

The passive biomechanical behavior of blood vessels is generally modeled by a parallel arrangement of elastin and collagen, with collagen recruitment depending on vessel strain. We experimentally determined the collagen recruitment distribution using confo ...
