Needle-free delivery of fluids from compact laser-based jet injector

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jan Krizek

Jet injection devices have been studied and developed for transdermal drug delivery to avoid the use of needles. Due to bulky actuation mechanisms, they are limited to body areas that are easy to reach such as skin. Here, we demonstrate a thin and long liq ...

Development of functionalized alginate-based hydrogels to reduce fibrosis in the transplantation of microencapsulated cells

François Rémi Pierre Noverraz

Nowadays, the development of cell therapy relies mainly on the advances made toward cell microencapsulation which allows to evade the need for immunosuppression during cell transplantation. Among the materials considered for cell encapsulation, hydrogels d ...

Molecular gelation of ionic liquid-sulfolane mixtures, a solid electrolyte for high performance dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jean-David Décoppet, Thomas Moehl

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid-[4-(3-tetradecylureido)phenyl]amide is an efficient gelator to solidify ionic liquid electrolytes. In this paper we apply this low molecular weight gelator to solidify the newly prepared sulfolane based ionic liquid electrolyte. ...

Mitonuclear protein imbalance as a conserved longevity mechanism

Johan Auwerx, Graham Knott, Laurent Mouchiroud, Richardus Houtkooper, Dongryeol Ryu, Elena Katsyuba, Norman Lionel Moullan

Longevity is regulated by a network of closely linked metabolic systems. We used a combination of mouse population genetics and RNA interference in Caenorhabditis elegans to identify mitochondrial ribosomal protein S5 (Mrps5) and other mitochondrial riboso ...

Bioluminescent sensor proteins for point-of-care therapeutic drug monitoring

Rudolf Griss

To ensure efficacy but avoid toxicity, many drugs require monitoring of their concentrations in the patient’s blood during therapy. Currently, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is done in diagnostic laboratories that need trained personnel and expensive in ...

Impact of microbial Mn oxidation on the remobilization of bioreduced U(IV)

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Kelly Lee Plathe

Effects of Mn redox cycling on the stability of bioreduced U(IV) are evaluated here. U(VI) can be biologically reduced to less soluble U(IV) species and the stimulation of biological activity to that end is a salient remediation strategy; however, the stab ...

Study of Topoisomerase-DNA Interaction Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy

The aim of this thesis was to explore the topoisomerase-DNA interactions using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a liquid environment. Firstly, we present a programmable microcontroller-driven injection system for the exchange of an imaging medium while usi ...

A Biochemical and Biophysical Investigation of 5-HT3 Receptor Stability

Menno Berend Tol

The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R) is a member of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) family, that plays an important role in fast signal transduction and cell-cell communication in synapses: They convert a chemical signal from a neuro ...

The measurement of biomechanical properties of porcine articular cartilage using atomic force microscopy

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

We have recently demonstrated that indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT-AFM) is capable of detecting early onset osteoarthritis (OA) (Stolz, 2009). This study was based on biopsies, using a desk-top commercial atomic force microscope (AFM). However ...

Hydrogels for Urinary Tract Tissue Engineering

Lionel Ambroise Micol

Several urinary tract disorders, such as hypospadias or bladder cancer, require reconstructive surgery to preserve the patient's quality of life and at times even save their life. The current available surgical treatments, involving grafts from other tissu ...
