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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
