Organoids represent the first in vitro cell culture systems that closely resemble native tissues in terms of cellular composition, architecture and key aspects of physiology. Through the discovery of these cultures, researchers could demonstrate that stem ...
This thesis advances the field of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) through the development of device designs, fabrication processes, strain characterization technique and modelling tool. It provides the first demonstration that DEAs can be interfaced ...
The impedance of biological material changes with frequency, a phenomenon that has been discovered more than 100 years ago. It is due to the fact that the cell membrane acts as a capacitor which filters out currents at low frequency and lets them pass at h ...
The invention relates to a method for mixing a first stream of droplets (1) with at least one second stream of droplets (2) to obtain a third stream of fused droplets (3), by collision and fusion of at least one droplet of the first stream (1) with at leas ...
An overview of the optical methods available to modulate the cellular activity in cell cultures and biological tissues is presented, with a focus on the use of exogenous functional materials that absorb electromagnetic radiation and transduce it into a sec ...
The majority of muscles, nerves, and tendons are composed of fiber-like fascicle morphology. Each fascicle has a) elongated cells highly aligned with the length of the construct, b) a high volumetric cell density, and c) a high length-to-width ratio with a ...
Fluorescence microscopy techniques are well established research tools and have proven their use in a large variety of biomedical applications. Microscopic molecular contrast is achieved by imaging fluorescent dyes that bind specifically to a molecule of i ...
We demonstrate the use of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) for mechanical stimulation of cells in vitro. The development of living tissues is regulated by their mechanical environment through the modification of fundamental cellular functions such as ...
Modéliser l’imaginaire semble être un oxymore. En fait, c’est une invite à l’audace de la création et de l’exploration. Pour innover dans l’industrie, il faut combiner l’imaginaire, et même l’imagination, avec la formalisation, et nouer les savoir-faire et ...
This paper presents the in-vivo tests on a Fully Implantable Multi-Panel Devices for Remote Monitoring of endogenous and exogenous analytes. To investigate issues on biocompatibility, three different covers have been designed, realized and tested in ...
