Adult Drosophila Lack Hematopoiesis but Rely on a Blood Cell Reservoir at the Respiratory Epithelia to Relay Infection Signals to Surrounding Tissues
Bruno Lemaitre, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond
The use of adult Drosophila melanogaster as a model for hematopoiesis or organismal immunity has been debated. Addressing this question, we identify an extensive reservoir of blood cells (hemocytes) at the respiratory epithelia (tracheal air sacs) of the t ...
CELL PRESS2019Towards 3D facial morphometry
In anesthesiology, the detection and anticipation of difficult tracheal intubation is crucial for patient safety. When undergoing general anesthesia, a patient who is unexpectedly difficult to intubate risks potential life-threatening complications with po ...
EPFL2017Cardiovascular morphometry with high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance: First application to left ventricle diastolic dysfunction
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis, Davide Piccini
In this study, an image-based morphometry toolset quantifying geometric descriptors of the left ventricle, aorta and their coupling is applied to investigate whether morphological information can differentiate between subjects affected by diastolic dysfunc ...

2014Intrinsic viscoelasticity increases temperature in knee cartilage under physiological loading
Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam
Metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid has been shown to be temperature- dependent in cartilage explants, with optimal anabolic effects between 36 1C and 38 1C. At rest, the temperature of human knee has a value of around 33 1C. We aim to show in ...
