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 ...

Material surface detection on various body parts: a preliminary study for temperature substitution for upper arm amputees

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur

Experiments have shown that healthy subjects can detect materials solely relying on the material's thermal properties at their fingertip. We are interested in developing a non-invasive temperature display for sensory substitution for patients with arm ampu ...

Spontaneous Gait Transitions of Sprawling Quadruped Locomotion by Sensory-Driven Body-Limb Coordination Mechanisms

Auke Ijspeert, Shura Suzuki

Deciphering how quadrupeds coordinate their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail (i.e., body-limb coordination), can provide informative insights to improve legged robot mobility. In this study, we focused on sprawling locomotion of ...

Sprawling Quadruped Robot Driven by Decentralized Control With Cross-Coupled Sensory Feedback Between Legs and Trunk

Auke Ijspeert, Shura Suzuki

Quadruped animals achieve agile and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail, that is, body-limb coordination. This study aims to understand the sensorimotor control und ...

Automated longitudinal monitoring of in vivo protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease C. elegans models

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Govindan Narayanan Krishnamani

Background: While many biological studies can be performed on cell-based systems, the investigation of molecular pathways related to complex human dysfunctions - e.g. neurodegenerative diseases - often requires long-term studies in animal models. The nemat ...

Cheetah-cub-S: Steering of a Quadruped Robot using Trunk Motion

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Karl Weinmeister

A reliable concept for steering was realized by in- tegrating a spine-like structure with one DoF into a quadruped robot - Cheetah-cub-S. We increased maneuverability dramat- ically compared to a robot with rigid spine, while keeping controlling effort low ...

Cheetah-cub-S: Steering of a Quadruped Robot using Trunk Motion

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Karl Weinmeister

In Cheetah-cub-S we realized an efficiant concept by implementing a spine-like structure with one DoF into a quadruped, modular and mobile platform. We increased maneuverability dramatically compared to a robot with rigid spine, while keeping controlling e ...

Structural and Functional Imaging of Pancreatic Islets using Optical Coherence Microscopy

Corinne Berclaz

In diabetes, pancreatic beta-cells play a key role. These cells are organized within structures called islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas and produce insulin. Insulin is one of the main hormones contributing to glucose homeostasis, which is the hallm ...

Myogenic potential of canine craniofacial satellite cells

Marco Cassano

The skeletal fibers have different embryological origin; the extraocular and jaw-closer muscles develop from prechordal mesoderm while the limb and trunk muscles from somites. These different origins characterize also the adult muscle stem cells, known as ...

Muscles in a Shoulder Model: Identification of the necessary number of muscle cables

Jeannette Liniger

The shoulder complex is a complex articulation of the human body. It consists of several bones and joints and is moved and stabilized by 16 muscles. The muscle forces can not be measured experimentally, but can be computed using numerical methods. An exist ...
