Nature of Crack Path Instabilities in Thin Sheets Cut by Blunt Objects
Cutting a brittle thin sheet with a blunt object leaves an oscillating crack that seemingly violates the principle of local symmetry for fracture. We experimentally find that at a critical value of a well chosen control parameter the straight propagation i ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020Gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors prevents visual function loss in a mouse model of retinal degeneration
Purpose:Currently, there is no known cure for Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. We exploited the possibility of an early intervention in ...
2017Development of Minimally-Invasive Optical Methods to Individualize the Doses Used for Therapeutic Applications of Light
Despite the experience gained over several decades in various types of light-based medical treatments, the optimization of the corresponding therapeutic protocols and accurate forecasting of their outcome have not yet been achieved in many cases. The diffi ...
EPFL2010Spinodal surface of a free energy model for eye lens protein mixtures: Relevance for cataracts
Nicolas Dorsaz, Giuseppe Foffi
We studied the phase behavior of a model binary mixture of eye lens crystallin proteins using first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory. The instability boundary, or spinodal surface, was found to be very sensitive to the strength of the attraction bet ...

Purpose: Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary malignant ocular tumor in human adults. Relevant mouse models of human uveal melanoma still remain to be developed. We have studied the transgenic mouse strain, Tyrp-1-TAg, to try to gain insight into ...
