Adverse Effects of Industrial Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on Human Pulmonary Cells

The aim of this study was to evaluate adverse effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), produced for industrial purposes, on the human epithelial cell line A549. MWCNT were dispersed in dipalmitoyl lecithin (DPL), a component of pulmonary surfactant ...

Tissue engineering complex and mechanically active microenvironments for studies in asthma and cancer

Alice Anna Tomei

The goals of tissue engineering include recapitulating specific tissue functions for regenerative medicine and developing in vitro models of human tissues to study human physiology and pathophysiology and for testing and screening drugs before expensive cl ...

CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibit differential requirements for CCR7-mediated antigen transport during influenza infection

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland

Upon encounter of viral Ags in an inflammatory environment, dendritic cells up-regulate costimulatory molecules and the chemokine receptor CCR7, with the latter being pivotal for their migration to the lymph node. By utilizing mice deficient in CCR7, we ha ...

Bounded Asynchrony: Concurrency for Modeling Cell-Cell Interactions

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu

We introduce bounded asynchrony, a notion of concurrency tailored to the modeling of biological cell-cell interactions. Bounded asynchrony is the result of a scheduler that bounds the number of steps that one process gets ahead of other processes; this all ...

Application of pulsed-magnetic field enhances non-viral gene delivery in primary cells from different origins

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz

Primary cell lines are more difficult to transfect when compared to immortalized/transformed cell lines, and hence new techniques are required to enhance the transfection efficiency in these cells. We isolated and established primary cultures of synoviocyt ...

Dielectrophoretic sorting on a microfabricated flow cytometer: Label free separation of Babesia bovis infected erythrocytes

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Nicolas Demierre

Dielectrophoresis is a method that has demonstrated great potential in cell discrimination and isolation. In this study, the dielectrophoretic sorting of normal and Babesia bovis infected erythrocytes was performed using a microfabricated flow cytometer. S ...

Exotoxin secretion: getting out to find the way in

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mirko Bischofberger

During infection, most pathogenic bacteria deliver proteins to the host cell cytoplasm to manipulate host behavior. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Spanò and colleagues describe a system where a bacterium produces an exotoxin while inside the host ce ...

NMR spectroscopy and perfusion of mammalian cells using surface microprobes

Jürgen Brugger, Florian Maria Wurm, Radivoje Popovic, Pierre-André Besse, Kristopher Pataky, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler, Klaus Ehrmann

NMR spectra of mammalian cells are taken using surface microprobes that are based on microfabricated planar coils. The surface microprobe resembles a miniaturized Petri dish commonly used in biological research. The diameter of the planar coils is 1 mm. Ch ...

A Polyoxyethylene-Substituted Bimetallic Europium Helicate for Luminescent Staining of Living Cells

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Caroline Vandevyver, Bo Song, Steve Comby

The homoditopic ligand

H_2L^{C3}

has been designed to form neutral triple-stranded bimetallic helicates of overall composition [

Ln_2(L^{C3})_3

]. The grafting of the polyoxyethylene fragments ensures water solubility and also favors cell penetration whi ...

Development of an Array of Ion-Selective Microelectrodes Aimed for the Monitoring of Extracellular Ionic Activities

Nico de Rooij

In this study, we present the development and the characterization of a generic platform for cell culture able to monitor extracellular ionic activities (K+, NH4 +) for real-time monitoring of cell-based responses, such as necrosis, apoptosis, or different ...
