Alpha-Synuclein oligomerization and aggregation: All models are useful but only if we know what they model This is the reply to a comment "Alpha-synuclein oligomerization and aggregation: A model will always be a model" on the original article "Monitoring alpha-synuclein oligomerization and aggregation using bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays: What you see is not always what you get". The articles are accompanied by a Preface "How good are cellular models?"

Alpha-synuclein oligomerization is one of the early events on the pathway to Lewy body formation. Therefore, interfering with this process holds tremendous potential for developing therapies that block alpha-Syn pathology formation and toxicity. The develo ...

Linear triglycerol-based fluorosurfactants show high potential for droplet-microfluidics-based biochemical assays

Esther Amstad, Irvine Lian Hao Ong

Fluorosurfactants have expanded the landscape of high-value biochemical assays in microfluidic droplets, but little is known about how the spatial geometries and polarity of the head group contribute to the performance of fluorosurfactants. To decouple thi ...

Planar hydrodynamic traps and buried channels for bead and cell trapping and releasing

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Daniel Migliozzi, Jonathan Bastien Cottet, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

We present a novel concept for the controlled trapping and releasing of beads and cells in a PDMS microfluidic channel without obstacles present around the particle or in the channel. The trapping principle relies on a two-level microfluidic configuration: ...

Predicting exposure concentrations of chemicals with a wide range of volatility and hydrophobicity in different multi-well plate set-ups

Kristin Schirmer, Julita Maria Stadnicka-Michalak

Quantification of chemical toxicity in small-scale bioassays is challenging owing to small volumes used and extensive analytical resource needs. Yet, relying on nominal concentrations for effect determination maybe erroneous because loss processes can sign ...

Printed Polymer Composite Sensors for Low-Power, Near Room-Temperature Detection and Classification of VOCS

Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Maeder, Mohammadmahdi Kiaee

We demonstrate the application of inkjet-printed near room-temperature chemiresistors composed of polymer-carbon black (CB) composites for detecting and classifying volatile organic compounds (VOC). Our results demonstrate that the printed sensors can sele ...

Rapid Characterization and Quantification of Extracellular Vesicles by Fluorescence-Based Microfluidic Diffusion Sizing

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as promising diagnostic and therapeutic tools for a variety of diseases. The characterization of EVs requires a series of orthogonal techniques that are overall time- and material-consuming. Here, a microfluidic de ...

Understanding delayed fluorescence and triplet decays of Protoporphyrin IX under hypoxic conditions

Georges Wagnières

Photosensitizers of singlet oxygen exhibit three main types of reverse intersystem-crossing (RISC): thermally activated, triplet-triplet annihilation, and singlet oxygen feedback. RISC can be followed by delayed fluorescence (DF) emission, which can provid ...

Hmx1 regulates urfh1 expression in the craniofacial region in zebrafish

Daniel Francis Schorderet

H6 family homeobox 1 (HMX1) regulates multiple aspects of craniofacial development as it is widely expressed in the eye, peripheral ganglia and branchial arches. Mutations in HMX1 are linked to an ocular defect termed Oculo-auricular syndrome of Schorderet ...
