Accessible and highly observable gastrointestinal organoid model systems for studying host-pathogen interactions

Traditional cell cultures have long been fundamental to biological research, offering an alternative to animal models burdened by ethical constraints and procedural intricacies, often lacking relevance to human physiology and disease. Moreover, their inabi ...

Compartmentalized PGRP expression along the dipteran Bactrocera dorsalis gut forms a zone of protection for symbiotic bacteria

Bruno Lemaitre, Yichen Wang, Ping Zhang

All metazoan guts are subject to opposing pressures wherein the immune system must eliminate pathogens while tolerating the presence of symbiotic microbiota. The Imd pathway is an essential defense against invading pathogens in insect guts, but tolerance m ...

Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia

Yves Bellouard, Tanveer Ul Islam

Among the many complex bioactuators functioning at different scales, the organelle cilium represents a fundamental actuating unit in cellular biology. Producing motions at submicrometer scales, dominated by viscous forces, cilia drive a number of crucial b ...

Capturing Cardiogenesis in Gastruloids

Matthias Lütolf, Romain Guiet, Giuliana Rossi, Andrea Boni, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Mehmet Ugur Girgin

Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here, we show ...

Patterning and mechanics of somite boundaries in zebrafish embryos

Andrew Charles Oates, Sundar Ram Naganathan

The body axis of vertebrates is subdivided into repetitive compartments called somites, which give rise primarily to the segmented architecture of the musculoskeletal system in the adult body. Somites form in a sequential and rhythmic manner in embryos and ...

When neighbours become competitors - Autotrophic assimilation rates of individual symbionts depend on local density when Stylophora pistillata is regularly fed

Anders Meibom, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine

The symbiosis between dinoflagellate microalgae and their cnidarian host represents the fundamental mechanism that allows zooxanthellate corals to access the inorganic nutrient pool of the surrounding seawater and conserve and recycle nutrients within thei ...

Structural basis for chirality and directional motility of Plasmodium sporozoites

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Plasmodium sporozoites can move at high speed for several tens of minutes, which is essential for the initial stage of a malaria infection. The crescent-shaped sporozoites move on 2D substrates preferably in the same direction on circular paths giving rais ...

Human U6 promoter drives stronger shRNA activity than its schistosome orthologue in Schistosoma mansoni and human fibrosarcoma cells

Nicola Harris, Raphaël Duvoisin

Blood flukes or schistosomes are the causative agents of human schistosomiasis, one of the major neglected tropical diseases. Draft genome sequences have been reported for schistosomes, but functional genomics tools are needed to investigate the role and e ...

Interactome and reverse genetics studies of regulatory subunits of Plasmodium falciparum casein kinase

Guillem Dayer

Malaria is the most devastating parasitic infection killing each year between 1 and 3 million of people. Furthermore this decease has a huge socio-economic impact in affected countries. The emergence of resistance against currently used drug makes the deve ...
