Intracellular bacteria engage a STING-TBK1-MVB12b pathway to enable paracrine cGAS-STING signalling

Andrea Ablasser, Bing Zhang, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi

The innate immune system is crucial for eventual control of infections, but may also contribute to pathology. Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular Gram-positive bacteria and a major cause of food-borne disease. However, important knowledge on the int ...

A microfluidic cell-trapping device to study dynamic host-microbe interactions at the single-cell level

John McKinney, Chiara Toniolo, Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé

Single-cell imaging of host-microbe interactions over time is impeded by cellular motility because the cells under scrutiny tend to migrate out of the imaging field. To overcome this technical challenge, we developed a microfluidic platform for imaging hun ...

A microfluidic cell-trapping device for single-cell tracking of host-microbe interactions

John McKinney, Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé

The impact of cellular individuality on host-microbe interactions is increasingly appreciated but studying the temporal dynamics of single-cell behavior in this context remains technically challenging. Here we present a microfluidic platform, InfectChip, t ...

Quantitative Single-Cell Analysis of Host-Pathogen Interactions

Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé

During infection, microbial pathogens encounter phagocytic cells of the host innate immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. These encounters typically lead to uptake and killing of the bacteria by the host cell or, conversely, parasitization of ...

Minimal model for spontaneous cell polarization and edge activity in oscillating, rotating and migrating cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Chiara Gabella, Franck Claude Raynaud, Alicia Carine Bornert, Mark Etienne Ambühl

How cells break symmetry and organize activity at their edges to move directionally is a fundamental question in cell biology. Physical models of cell motility commonly incorporate gradients of regulatory proteins and/or feedback from the motion itself to ...

An agarose-based microfluidic platform with a gradient buffer for 3D chemotaxis studies

Melody Swartz

The current state-of-art in 3D microfluidic chemotaxis device (mu FCD) is limited by the inherent coupling of the fluid flow and chemical concentration gradients. Here, we present an agarose-based 3D mu FCD that decouples these two important parameters, in ...
