Triplet imaging of oxygen consumption during the contraction of a single smooth muscle cell (A7r5)

Theo Lasser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Kai Johnsson, Marcel Leutenegger, Boris Hinz, Iwan Märki, Thiemo Spielmann, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent, Matthias Geissbühler

Triplet imaging is a novel optical technique that allows investigating oxy- gen metabolism at the single cell and the sub-cellular level. The method combines high temporal and spatial resolution, which are required for the monitoring of fast kinetics of ox ...

Identification and functional response of interstitial Cajal-like cells from rat mesenteric artery

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

Cells with irregular shapes, numerous long thin filaments, and morphological similarities to the gastrointestinal interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) have been observed in the wall of some blood vessels. These ICC-like cells (ICC-LCs) do not correspond to t ...

The Single-Molecule Mechanics of the Latent TGF-beta 1 Complex

Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent, Josiane Angèle Charlotte Smith-Clerc, David Ramonet Jimenez

Background: TGF-beta 1 controls many pathophysiological processes including tissue homeostasis, fibrosis, and cancer progression. Together with its latency-associated peptide (LAP), TGF-beta 1 binds to the latent TGF-beta 1-binding protein-1 (LTBP-1), whic ...

Identification and Functional Response of "Interstitial Cells of Cajal"-like Cells from Rat Mesenteric Artery

Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

This thesis is a contribution to the field of interstitial cells of Cajal-like cells (ICC-LCs) in the vasculature. Indeed, cells with irregular shapes and numerous long thin filaments, morphologically similar to the gastrointestinal ICCs, have been observe ...
