Inheritance of H3K9 methylation regulates genome architecture in Drosophila early embryos

Fides Zenk

Constitutive heterochromatin is essential for transcriptional silencing and genome integrity. The establishment of constitutive heterochromatin in early embryos and its role in early fruitfly development are unknown. Lysine 9 trimethylation of histone H3 ( ...

Geometric Learning: Leveraging differential geometry for learning and control

Bernardo Fichera

In this thesis, we concentrate on advancing high-level behavioral control policies for robotic systems within the framework of Dynamical Systems (DS). Throughout the course of this research, a unifying thread weaving through diverse fields emerges, and tha ...

Targeted worker removal reveals a lack of flexibility in brood transport specialisation with no compensatory gain in efficiency

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Laurent Keller, Fazil Emre Uslu

Division of labour is widely thought to increase the task efficiency of eusocial insects. Workers can switch their task to compensate for sudden changes in demand, providing flexible task allocation. In combination with automated tracking technology, we de ...

Collimation simulations for the FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Giovanni Iadarola, Milica Rakic, Bruce Roderik, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Félix Simon Carlier

The collimation system of the Future Circular Collider, operating with leptons (FCC-ee), must protect not only the experiments against backgrounds, but also the machine itself from beam losses. With a 17.8 MJ stored energy of the electron and positron beam ...

Reliable data-driven decision-making through optimal transport

Bahar Taskesen

Decision-making permeates every aspect of human and societal development, from individuals' daily choices to the complex decisions made by communities and institutions. Central to effective decision-making is the discipline of optimization, which seeks th ...

Proliferation-driven mechanical compression induces signalling centre formation during mammalian organ development

Sangwoo Kim, Pengfei Xu

Localized sources of morphogens, called signalling centres, play a fundamental role in coordinating tissue growth and cell fate specification during organogenesis. However, how these signalling centres are established in tissues during embryonic developmen ...

Accessible and highly observable gastrointestinal organoid model systems for studying host-pathogen interactions

Moritz Hofer

Traditional cell cultures have long been fundamental to biological research, offering an alternative to animal models burdened by ethical constraints and procedural intricacies, often lacking relevance to human physiology and disease. Moreover, their inabi ...

Development and clinical validation of computational imaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases

Veronica Lily Ravano

Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders often involve complex pathophysiological mechanisms that are â to this date â only partially understood. A more comprehensive understanding of those microstructural processes and their characterization ...

A Robotic Surgery Platform for Automated Tissue Micromanipulation in Zebrafish Embryos

Andrew Charles Oates, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Laurel Ann Rohde, Erfan Etesami

Microsurgical manipulations are key experimental techniques in life science research, particularly in embryology. These techniques are most often performed manually by highly skilled scientists, posing limitations on speed, precision, and reproducibility. ...

Enabling four-arm laparoscopic surgery by controlling two robotic assistants via haptic foot interfaces

Aude Billard, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez

Robotic surgery is a promising direction to improve surgeons and assistants’ daily life with respect to conventional surgery. In this work, we propose solo laparoscopic surgery in which two robotic arms, controlled via haptic foot interfaces, assist the ta ...
