Real-time actuation of a dielectric elastomer actuator neuroprosthesis for facial paralysis
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba
Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...
2023Monocyte-derived macrophages aggravate pulmonary vasculitis via cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing
Kessler et al. identify aberrant DNA recognition by cGAS/STING and IFN-I production by inflammatory macrophages as a driver of severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. Pharmacological interventions blocking this pathway ameliorate disease and accelerate recovery ...
ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS2022On Preconditioning of Decentralized Gradient-Descent When Solving a System of Linear Equations
This article considers solving an overdetermined system of linear equations in peer-to-peer multiagent networks. The network is assumed to be synchronous and strongly connected. Each agent has a set of local data points, and their goal is to compute a line ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Rapid Multianalyte Microfluidic Homogeneous Immunoassay on Electrokinetically Driven Beads
Carlotta Guiducci, Pierre-Emmanuel Marie Thiriet, Gloria Porro, Danashi Imani Medagoda
The simplicity of homogeneous immunoassays makes them suitable for diagnostics of acute conditions. Indeed, the absence of washing steps reduces the binding reaction duration and favors a rapid and compact device, a critical asset for patients experiencing ...
2020Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Neurological Diseases Using Wearable Devices
In this thesis, I focus on monitoring of patients suffering from cardiovascular and neurological diseases through the use of wearable devices. The main diseases considered in this thesis are atrial fibrillation (AF), myocardial infarction (MI), and epileps ...
EPFL2020The mechanism of tumour cell death by metal-based anticancer drugs is not only a matter of DNA interactions
Paul Joseph Dyson, Gianni Sava
Platinum drugs are extensively used in the clinic to treat cancer, often leading to a palliative response rather than a cure. While DNA is considered to be the primary target of platinum drugs, there is no clear relationship between cellular platinum accum ...
2018Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Medical and Genomic Data: From Theory to Practice
The impressive technological advances in genomic analysis and the significant drop in the cost of genome sequencing are paving the way to a variety of revolutionary applications in modern healthcare. In particular, the increasing understanding of the human ...
