Coordination between cell growth, division and chromosome replication cycles in mycobacteria

Propagation of microorganisms is based on three fundamental processes: cell growth, DNA replication, and cell division. Although important for antibacterial drug development, these processes are poorly understood in Actinobacteria, a medically important ph ...

Large particle segregation in two-dimensional sheared granular flows

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

We studied the segregation of single large intruder particles in monodisperse granular materials. Experiments were carried out in a two-dimensional shear cell using different intruder and media diameters, whose quotient defined a size ratio R that ranged f ...

A conveyor belt experimental setup to study the internal dynamics of granular avalanches

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

This paper shows how a conveyor belt setup can be used to study the dynamics of stationary granular flows. To visualise the flow within the granular bulk and, in particular, determine its composition and the velocity field, we used the refractive index mat ...

Mixing and diffusion for rough shear flows

Maria Colombo, Klaus Martin Widmayer

This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough (

C^\alpha

) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of a smooth shear ...

Hydraulic Transport Through Calcite Bearing Faults With Customized Roughness: Effects of Normal and Shear Loading

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic processes and to most anthropogenic geo‐energy activities. Here we conducted fluid transport experiments on Carrara marble fractures with a novel customized surface t ...

Collective behavior of red blood cells in confined channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We study the flow properties of red blood cells in confined channels, when the channel width is comparable to the cell size. We focus on the case of intermediate concentrations when hydrodynamic interactions between cells play a dominant role. This regime ...

TRACMIT: An effective pipeline for tracking and analyzing cells on micropatterns through mitosis

Pierre Gönczy, Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz, Benita Wolf

The use of micropatterns has transformed investigations of dynamic biological processes by enabling the reproducible analysis of live cells using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. With micropatterns, thousands of individual cells can be efficiently image ...

Bacterial biofilm under flow: First a physical struggle to stay, then a matter of breathing

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Josué Sznitman

Bacterial communities attached to surfaces under fluid flow represent a widespread lifestyle of the microbial world. Through shear stress generation and molecular transport regulation, hydrodynamics conveys effects that are very different by nature but str ...

Alamandine abrogates neutrophil degranulation in atherosclerotic mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

Background Neutrophil-mediated inflammation was recently identified as an active contributor to athero-progression. Therapeutic strategies inhibiting neutrophil degranulation or recruitment were hypothesized to positively impact on plaque vulnerability. In ...
