Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation
Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...
EPFL2024Laser photo-detachment combined with Langmuir probe in magnetized electronegative plasma: how the probe size affects the plasma dynamic?
Laser photo-detachment combined with a Langmuir probe (LP) is used to diagnose negative ion properties in electronegative plasmas. The technique relies on the combined use of a laser pulse and an LP. The laser pulse converts negative ions into electron-ato ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2021Photovoltaic stimulation of retinal microcircuit for vision restoration
Sight restoration through retinal prostheses was still a mere dream a century ago. Current challenges are even greater: providing a quantitatively and qualitatively useful artificial vision to late blind patients. Existing approaches all face engineering a ...
EPFL2021Intraocular Lens Refractive Index and Its Impact on External Surface Reflections
PURPOSE: To determine and compare the origin of the external surface reflections produced by commonly used intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS: The specular reflection taking place at the anterior surface of eight types of IOLs (IOL power = 22.00 diopters M ...
SLACK INC2021Development of a new visual prosthesis for preclinical studies on artificial vision
Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi
The technological evolution in materials science and microengineering favored the production of advanced visual prostheses useful for fighting blindness and to improve patients quality of life. Visual prostheses aim at replacing lost visual functions by ar ...
EPFL2020Abnormal creatine transport of mutations in monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12) found in patients with age-related cataract can be partially rescued by exogenous chaperone CD147
Membrane transporters influence biological functions in the ocular lens. Here, we investigate the monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12), also called creatine transporter 2 (CRT2), which is found in the ocular lens and is involved in cataract. As the age-r ...
Oxford Univ Press2017Deciphering the subcapsular epithelial cells in human fetal and postnatal thymus
Most papers related to thymus focus on the cortical and medullary epithelial cells whereas the subcapsular layer is ignored. In this thesis, we are providing new informations about the subcapsular thymic epithelial cells (TECs) by comparing them to cortica ...
EPFL2017Glycation potentiates α-synuclein-associated neurodegeneration in synucleinopathies
Hilal Lashuel, Magdalena Zweckstetter, Michael Heinrich
α-Synuclein misfolding and aggregation is a hallmark in Parkinson's disease and in several other neurodegenerative diseases known as synucleinopathies. The toxic properties of α-synuclein are conserved from yeast to man, but the precise underpinnings of th ...
