Hydrogels and conductive hydrogels for implantable bioelectronics

Stéphanie Lacour, Outman Akouissi, Emilio Fernández Lavado, Massimo Mariello, Kutay Sagdic

Hydrogels are a class of soft materials, which display unique biomimetic properties to biological tissues. Their mechanical properties, high water content, and porosity resemble that of extracellular matrix so that cell growth and proliferation can be reli ...

Transposon-activated POU5F1B promotes colorectal cancer growth and metastasis

Didier Trono, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Laia Simo Riudalbas, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Alexandre Coudray, Sagane Dind

The treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is an unmet medical need in absence of early diagnosis. Here, upon characterizing cancer-specific transposable element-driven transpochimeric gene transcripts (TcGTs) produced by this tumor in the SYSCOL cohort, we ...

An essential thioredoxin is involved in the control of the cell cycle in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans

Thioredoxins (Trxs) are antioxidant proteins that are conserved among all species. These proteins have been extensively studied and perform reducing reactions on a broad range of substrates. Here, we identified Caulobacter crescentus Trx1 (CCNA_03653; CcTr ...

Tuning growth direction of catalyst-free InAs(Sb) nanowires with indium droplets

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Nicholas Paul Morgan

The need for indium droplets to initiate self-catalyzed growth of InAs nanowires has been highly debated in the last few years. Here, we report on the use of indium droplets to tune the growth direction of self-catalyzed InAs nanowires. The indium droplets ...

Silver nanoparticles inhibit fish gill cell proliferation in protein-free culture medium

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Renata Behra, Yang Yue

While short-term exposures of vertebrate cells, such as from fish, can be performed in defined, serum-free media, long-term cultures generally require addition of growth factors and proteins, normally supplied with a serum supplement. However, proteins are ...

Self-heating hydrogel for mechanically-controlled drug release

Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Due to our active lifestyle, knee cartilage is at risk for focal defects. Unfortunately, the native healing properties of the articular cartilage are very limited. New strategies to treat cartilage defects are then developed such as the local delivery of g ...
