In situ quantification of osmotic pressure within living embryonic tissues

Mechanics is known to play a fundamental role in many cellular and developmental processes. Beyond active forces and material properties, osmotic pressure is believed to control essential cell and tissue characteristics. However, it remains very challengin ...

Single-cell lipidomics reveals a role for cell-to-cell sphingolipid heterogeneity in fibroblast activation

Laura Capolupo

Cell-to-cell variability plays a key role in tissue patterning by setting initial asymmetry that primes cell fate decisions. Fluctuations in the activity of regulatory molecules can commit individual cells to divergent differentiation pathways, and cell-to ...

Damage-driven strain localisation in networks of fibres: A computational homogenisation approach

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Felipe Figueredo Rocha

In many applications, such as textiles, fibreglass, paper and several kinds of biological fibrous tissues, the main load-bearing constituents at the micro-scale are arranged as a fibre network. In these materials, rupture is usually driven by micro-mechani ...

Embryonic tissues as active foams

Sangwoo Kim

The physical state of embryonic tissues emerges from non-equilibrium, collective interactions among constituent cells. Cellular jamming, rigidity transitions and characteristics of glassy dynamics have all been observed in multicellular systems, but it is ...

The Delivery of alpha 1-Antitrypsin Therapy Through Transepidermal Route: Worthwhile to Explore

Florian Maria Wurm

Human alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) is an abundant acute phase glycoprotein expressing anti-protease and immunomodulatory activities, and is used as a biopharmaceutical to treat patients with inherited AAT deficiency. The pleiotropic properties of AAT provide ...

Role of Activin-A signaling in melanoma

Olivier Andreas Dubey

Cutaneous melanomas arise from transformed skin melanocytes. While accounting for only 1% of skin malignancies, melanoma is responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. Owing to lifestyle changes and increased exposure to sunlight, melanoma ...

Systems-Genetics-Based Inference of a Core Regulatory Network Underlying White Fat Browning

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Petra Catalina Schwalie

Recruitment of brite/beige cells, known as browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), is an efficient way to turn an energy-storing organ into an energy-dissipating one and may therefore be of therapeutic value in combating obesity. However, a comprehensive u ...

Convergence To Stratified Flow For An Inviscid 3D Boussinesq System

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We study the stability of special, stratified solutions of a 3D Boussinesq system describing an incompressible, inviscid 3D fluid with variable density (or temperature, depending on the context) under the effect of a uni-directional gravitational force. Th ...

Prosthetic Control and Sensory Feedback for Upper Limb Amputees

Huaiqi Huang

Hand amputation could dramatically degrade the life quality of amputees. Many amputees use prostheses to restore part of the hand functions. Myoelectric prosthesis provides the most dexterous control. However, they are facing high rejection rate. One of th ...

Transcellular Pathways in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulate Changes in Solute Transport by Fluid Stress

Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç

Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...
