Multiscale regulation of epithelial tension (TensionControl)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,

Throughout development and adult life, the growth and remodelling of living tissues is determined by a complex interplay between chemical and physical cues. Among such physical cues, mechanical tension is emerging as central regulator of cellular fate and function. To explain tension regulation, current research emphasizes molecular mechanisms at an ever increasing level of detail. How these local ...

Lab-in-a-tube and Nanorobotic biosensors (LT-NRBS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

The goal of this project is to develop new types of biosensors based on two different approaches: (i) a new bioanalytic microsystem platform for cell growth, manipulation and analysis using on-chip integrated microtubes and (ii) the use of synthetic self-propelled nanomotors for bioanalytical and biosensing applications. Based on the novel “Lab-in-a-tube” concept, we will design a multifunctional ...

Coordination And Migration of Cells during 3D Vasculogenesis (CAMVAS)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

"Cell migration is the core of myriad of phenomena in health and disease. Physical forces exerted during collective cellular motion trigger structural adaptations and signaling events that are of paramount importance in tissue engineering, stem cell differentiation and cancer. A spectacular example of coordinated movements towards a useful endpoint is vasculogenesis, the formation ""de novo"" of a ...

Micro Gradient Polyacrylamide Gels for High Throughput Electrophoresis Analysis (MICROGRADIENTPAGE)

Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is the most widespread tool to separate and detect macromolecules based on their molecular weight. New generation PAGE assays miniaturize the technique to obtain high throughput performance and reduce sample volume, reagents and cost. Here, we present a novel technology that will improve the range, the resolution and the accuracy that these new generation ...

Innovative Robotic Artefacts Inspired by Plant Roots for Soil Monitoring (PLANTOID)

Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,

We aim at designing, prototyping, and validating a new generation of ICT hardware and software technologies inspired from plant roots, called PLANTOIDS, endowed with distributed sensing, actuation, and intelligence for tasks of environmental exploration and monitoring. PLANTOIDS take inspiration from, and aim at reproducing, the amazing penetration, exploration, and adaptation capabilities of plan ...

Physical Forces Driving Collective Cell Migration: from Genes to Mechanism (GENESFORCEMOTION)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,

Fundamental biological processes including morphogenesis, tissue repair, and tumour metastasis require collective cell motions, and to drive these motions cells exert traction forces on their surroundings. The mechanisms underlying this basic principle of health and disease have been debated intensively and, using a variety of methods in vivo, in vitro, and in silico, much conflicting evidence has ...

Functional prognosis simulation of patient-specific spinal treatment for clinical use (MySPINE)

Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,

Description Improving the treatment of lower back painThe MySpine project aims to improve the treatment of lower back pain. Nowadays treatment and prognosis of spinal disc degeneration are still based on trial and error decisions from the surgeon, leading to numerous post treatment complications and eventual morbidity. MySpine is working ...

Studies of neurosecretion by remote control of exocytosis and endocytosis with ligt (OPTICALBULLET)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"Optical switches are photoisomerizable compounds that allow to remotely controlling the activity of proteins, cells and entire organisms with light. These tools are revolutionizing research in biology with their high selectivity and spatiotemporal resolution. Here we propose to develop and apply optical switches to investigate the fundamental processes of secretion, exocytosis and endocytosis, in ...

Array of Robots Augmenting the KiNematics of Endoluminal Surgery (ARAKNES)

Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,

ARAKNES stems from the innovative idea to transfer the technologies of bi-manual laparoscopic surgery to the endoluminal surgical approach, thus further reducing the operative trauma and enhancing the therapeutic outcome of minimally invasive surgical procedures for morbid obesity and gastro-esophageal reflux. The worldwide number of bypass surgeries for obesity is predicted to rise up to 1.3 mill ...

BIOELECTRONIC OLFACTORY NEURON DEVICE (BOND)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,

Recently, the use of smell in different fields has been rediscovered due to major advances in odour sensing technology and artificial intelligence. However, current electronic noses, based on electronic sensors, have significant limitations concerning sensitivity, reliability and selectivity, amongst others. These limitations are at the basis of recurrent troubles of this technology to reach essen ...
