Mechanics of porous media is the study of porous materials whose mechanical behaviour is significantly influenced by the pore fluid. This handout is devoted to the theory of deformation, strength, flow and multiphase coupling in porous media. The mechanics ...
The emergence of tissue engineering raises new possibilities for the study of complex physiological and pathophysiological processes in vitro. Many tools are now available to create 3D tissue models in vitro, but the blueprints for what to make have been s ...
It is clear to all, after a moments thought, that nature has much wemight be inspired by when designing our systems, for example: robustness, adaptability and complexity, to name a few. The implementation of bio-inspired systems in hardware has however bee ...
Airway wall remodeling is a hallmark of asthma, characterized by subepithelial thickening and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Mechanical stress due to hyperresponsive smooth muscle cells may contribute to this remodeling, but its extent and relevanc ...
NOVELTY - Determining a receptor-ligand interaction involves repeatedly contacting a cell comprising a receptor, with a ligand, of the receptor in which the ligand has a fluorescence labeling group and binds reversibly to the receptor under conditions in w ...
We present a novel OptoMEA platform that combines multisite electrical recording with local chemical stimulation. Applying UV light pulses through an array of optical fibres aligned to transparent indium-tin oxide electrodes of an MEA biochip leads to loca ...
This protocol describes the setup, maintenance and characteristics of a tissue-engineered model of the human bronchial mucosa that can be used for basic physiology and pathophysiology studies. The model includes a well-differentiated epithelium with functi ...
PEG-diacrylamide was synthesized and utilized to make materials for tissue engineering. Acrylamide groups readily react with thiol groups, and peptides containing a single thiol group were coupled to the PEG-diacrylamide in aqueous solution at room tempera ...
The Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has launched in 2000 a new programme to promote the use of New Learning Technologies (NLT) at the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology. The goal of this programme is to encourage a reform of traditi ...
Tissue remodeling often reflects alterations in local mechanical conditions and manifests as an integrated response among the different cell types that share, and thus cooperatively manage, an extracellular matrix. Here we examine how two different cell ty ...
