Micrometer-resolution X-ray tomographic full-volume reconstruction of an intact post-mortem juvenile rat lung
Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni, Anders Larsson
In this article, we present an X-ray tomographic imaging method that is well suited for pulmonary disease studies in animal models to resolve the full pathway from gas intake to gas exchange. Current state-of-the-art synchrotron-based tomographic phase-con ...
SPRINGER2020SLC25A51 is a mammalian mitochondrial NAD(+) transporter
Mitochondria require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) to carry out the fundamental processes that fuel respiration and mediate cellular energy transduction. Mitochondrial NAD(+) transporters have been identified in yeast and plants(1,2), but thei ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020Adaptive Compliant Foot Design for Salamander Robots
Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Robin Thandiackal, Laura Isabel Paez Coy
Aquatic stepping gaits in animals arguably display higher speed performance as well as energetic efficiency compared to other gaits using the limbs (i.e walking). This suggest that the foot structure and function contributes at a great extent on the propul ...
IEEE2019Understanding the Mechanobiology of Early Mammalian Development through Bioengineered Models
Matthias Lütolf, Stefano Davide Vianello
Research in developmental biology has been recently enriched by a multitude of in vitro models recapitulating key milestones of mammalian embryogenesis. These models obviate the challenge posed by the inaccessibility of implanted embryos, multiply experime ...
2019Heterogeneous combinatorial expression of Hoxd genes in single cells during limb development
Denis Duboule, Marion Leleu, Pierre Raymond Fabre
Background: Global analyses of gene expression during development reveal specific transcription patterns associated with the emergence of various cell types, tissues, and organs. These heterogeneous patterns are instrumental to ensure the proper formation ...
BMC2018Compliant universal grippers as adaptive feet in legged robots
Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Simon Lukas Hauser
This work investigates the usage of compliant universal grippers as a novel foot design for legged locomotion. The method of jamming of granular media in the universal grippers is characterized by having two distinct states: a soft, fluid-like state which ...
2018Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments, tasks ...
Elsevier2017Embryonic timing, axial stem cells, chromatin dynamics, and the Hox clock
Collinear regulation of Hox genes in space and time has been an outstanding question ever since the initial work of Ed Lewis in 1978. Here we discuss recent advances in our understanding of this phenomenon in relation to novel concepts associated with larg ...
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press2017A multidirectional gravity-assist algorithm that enhances locomotor control in patients with stroke or spinal cord injury
Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Marco Capogrosso, Rubia van den Brand, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Selin Anil, Jessica Lanini
Gait recovery after neurological disorders requires remastering the interplay between body mechanics and gravitational forces. Despite the importance of gravity-dependent gait interactions and active participation for promoting this learning, these essenti ...
