Deciphering Metabolic Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fate

Mukul Girotra

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. This unique characteristic makes them an ideal candidate for cell-based therapies to treat various hematological malignancies. Their extensive use in the cl ...

Bioengineering approaches to emulate the stem cell niche

Sylke Höhnel

Stem cell therapies hold tremendous potential for tissue and organ regeneration. Yet, there remains significant need for better ex vivo culture and manipulation methods. On the one hand, many tissue-specific stem cells cannot be propagated without causing ...

Tracking Interacting Objects in Image Sequences

Xinchao Wang

Object tracking in image sequences is a key challenge in computer vision. Its goal is to follow objects that move or evolve over time while preserving the identity of each object. However, most existing approaches focus on one class of objects and model on ...

Microfluidic Single-Cell Analysis with Affinity Beads

Horst Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Michael Werner, Loïc Arvind Roger Arm

A micrometer-sized affinity bead (red) is (i) taken up into a cell by phagocytosis, (ii) photochemically released from phagosomes, (iii) optically trapped by the cell, and (iv) isolated by cell lysis for subsequent analysis of captured intracellular analyt ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

Microfluidic Patterning of Protein Gradients on Biomimetic Hydrogel Substrates

Matthias Lütolf, Steffen Cosson

This protocol describes a versatile microfluidic method to generate tethered protein gradients of virtually any user-defined shape on biomimetic hydrogel substrates. It can be applied to test, in a microenvironment of physiologically relevant stiffness, ho ...

Automated long-term single cell analysis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe on a microfluidic microchemostat array

Jean-Bernard Nobs

How cells grow and divide is a question that was raised more than 100 years ago. Despite years of research and in-depth knowledge of several molecular mechanisms, the complete system that regulates and coordinates both of those activities within Schizosacc ...

Roles of imprinted genes in neural stem cells

Guillaume Daniel

Imprinted genes and neural stem cells (NSC) play an important role in the developing and mature brain. A central theme of imprinted gene function in NSCs is cell survival and G1 arrest to control cell division, cell-cycle exit, migration and differentiatio ...

Microfluidic encapsulation of cells in alginate particles via an improved internal gelation approach

Samin Akbari, Tohid Pirbodaghi

An improved internal gelation approach is developed to encapsulate single mammalian cells in monodisperse alginate microbeads as small as 26 mu m in diameter and at rates of up to 1 kHz with high cell viability. The cell damage resulting from contact with ...

Patterning of cell-instructive hydrogels by hydrodynamic flow focusing

Matthias Lütolf, Steffen Cosson, Simone Allazetta

Microfluidic gradient systems offer a very precise means to probe the response of cells to graded biomolecular signals in vitro, for example to model how morphogen proteins affect cell fate during developmental processes. However, existing gradient makers ...
