A bioactive injectable bulking material; a potential therapeutic approach for stress urinary incontinence

Matthias Lütolf, Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a life changing condition, affecting 20 million women worldwide. In this study, we developed a bioactive, injectable bulking agent that consists of Permacol (TM) (Medtronic, Switzerland) and recombinant insulin like gro ...

Robust Baseline Measurement for Reliable Fetal Heart Rate Evaluation

Guglielmo Frigo

Cardiotocography is a measurement technique widely adopted to assess fetal well-being during both antepartum and intra-partum stages. It consists of two simultaneously acquired time-series: fetal heart rate and uterine activity. Since visual inspection ana ...

CMG2/ANTXR2 regulates extracellular collagen VI which accumulates in hyaline fibromatosis syndrome

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Béatrice Kunz, Alessandra Piersigilli, Julie Deuquet Ariosa, Jérôme Bürgi

Loss-of-function mutations in capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2/ANTXR2), a transmembrane surface protein, cause hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS), a severe genetic disorder that is characterized by large subcutaneous nodules, gingival hypertrophy and ...

Engineered acellular collagen scaffold for endogenous cell guidance, a novel approach in urethral regeneration

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam

The treatment of congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra using existing autologous tissues can be associated with post-operative complications. Using rat-tail collagen, we have engineered an acellular high-density collagen tube. These tubes wer ...

Thin-film dielectric elastomer sensors to measure the contraction force of smooth muscle cells

Herbert Shea, Cristina Martin Olmos, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Mélanie Favre, Martha Liley

The development of thin-film dielectric elastomer strain sensors for the characterization of smooth muscle cell (SMC) contraction is presented here. Smooth muscle disorders are an integral part of diseases such as asthma and emphysema. Analytical tools ena ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

High-density collagen gel tubes as a matrix for primary human bladder smooth muscle cells

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Tissue-engineered grafts for the urinary tract are being investigated for the potential treatment of several urologic diseases. These grafts, predominantly tubular-shaped, usually require in vitro culture prior to implantation to allow cell engraftment on ...

A theoretical model of the cellular calcium dynamics and vasomotion in muscular arteries

Michèle Koenigsberger

Muscular arteries possess the ability to control actively their lumen by altering the tone of the smooth muscle cells of the arterial wall, a property which is vital for a large number of the hemodynamical functions of the body. Arterial contraction is due ...

Emergent properties of electrically coupled smooth muscle cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Roger Sauser, Michèle Koenigsberger

Asynchronous and synchronous calcium oscillations occur in a variety of cells. A well-established pathway for intercellular communication is provided by gap junctions which connect adjacent cells and can mediate electrical and chemical coupling. Several ex ...

On edge states in semi-infinite quantum Hall systems

Nicolas Macris

We consider an electron in two dimensions submitted to a magnetic field and to the potential of impurities. We show that when the electron is confined to a half-space by a planar wall described by a smooth increasing potential, the total Hamiltonian necess ...
