Optimization of microfluidic single cell trapping for long-term on-chip culture

Philippe Renaud, Matthias Lütolf, Ana Valero, Stefan Kobel

The poor efficiency of microfluidic single cell trapping is currently restricting the full potential of state-of-the-art single cell analyses. Using fluid dynamics simulations in combination with particle image velocimetry to systematically optimize trap a ...

The Effect of Thiol Structure on Allyl Sulfide Photodegradable Hydrogels and their Application as a Degradable Scaffold for Organoid Passaging

Matthias Lütolf, Nikolche Gjorevski

Intestinal organoids are useful in vitro models for basic and translational studies aimed at understanding and treating disease. However, their routine culture relies on animal-derived matrices that limit translation to clinical applications. In fact, ther ...

Mammary epithelial morphogenesis in 3D combinatorial microenvironments

Matthias Lütolf, Mehmet Ugur Girgin

Human mammary epithelial cells can proliferate and reorganize into polarized multi-cellular constructs in-vitro, thereby functioning as an important model system in recapitulating key steps of in-vivo morphogenesis. Current approaches to constructing such ...

c-MAF coordinates enterocyte zonation and nutrient uptake transcriptional programs

Matthias Lütolf, Jakob Josef Langer

c-MAF, highly expressed in villus small intestinal enterocytes, coordinates transcriptional programs for nutrient absorption. Enterocyte-specific c-MAF inactivation impairs dietary lipid handling but also leads to tuft cell expansion and adaptive gut lengt ...

Biomaterials Approaches in Stem Cell Mechanobiology

Matthias Lütolf, Nikolche Gjorevski

Multiple molecular and physical cues engage in complex interplay to afford the fine control over stem cell behavior that is required during tissue development, homeostasis, and repair. As a result of a close collaboration between biologists, engineers, and ...

Primate-specific transposable elements shape transcriptional networks during human development

Christopher James Playfoot, Matthias Lütolf, Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Cyril David Son-Tuyên Pulver, Julien Paul André Pontis, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Andrea Manfrin

The human genome harbors more than 4.5 million transposable element (TE)-derived insertions, the result of recurrent waves of invasion and internal propagation. Here they show that TEs belonging to evolutionarily recent subfamilies go on to regulate later ...

Diagnostic microchip to assay 3D colony-growth potential of captured circulating tumor cells

Matthias Lütolf, Stefan Kobel, Samy Gobaa

Microfluidic technology has been successfully applied to isolate very rare tumor-derived epithelial cells (circulating tumor cells, CTCs) from blood with relatively high yield and purity, opening up exciting prospects for early detection of cancer. However ...

Locally controlling mesenchymal stem cell morphogenesis by 3D PDGF-BB gradients towards the establishment of an in vitro perivascular niche

Matthias Lütolf, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Yannick Robert Devaud

The perivascular niche is a complex microenvironment containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), among other perivascular cells, as well as temporally organized biochemical and biophysical gradients. Due to a lack of conclusive phenotypic markers, MSCs' iden ...

Artificial niche microarrays for identifying extrinsic cell-fate determinants

Matthias Lütolf, Samy Gobaa

The complex cellular microenvironment plays an important role in determining cell fate. For example, stem cells located in a microenvironment termed niche integrate a wide variety of extrinsic cues to take distinct fate choices. Capturing this multiple-inp ...

Embryo-uterine interaction coordinates mouse embryogenesis during implantation

Matthias Lütolf, Saba Rezakhani, Mikhail Nikolaev

Embryo implantation into the uterus marks a key transition in mammalian development. In mice, implantation is mediated by the trophoblast and is accompanied by a morphological transition from the blastocyst to the egg cylinder. However, the roles of tropho ...

In Vivo Pre-Instructed HSCs Robustly Execute Asymmetric Cell Divisions In Vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Mukul Girotra, Aline Roch, Vincent Trachsel

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. Under homeostasis, HSCs in their native bone marrow niches are believed to undergo asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs), with one daughter cell maintaining HSC ...

An engineered multicellular stem cell niche for the 3D derivation of human myogenic progenitors from iPSCs

Matthias Lütolf, Omid Mashinchian, Jérome Feige

Fate decisions in the embryo are controlled by a plethora of microenvironmental interactions in a three-dimensional niche. To investigate whether aspects of this microenvironmental complexity can be engineered to direct myogenic human-induced pluripotent s ...

Synthetic 3D PEG-Anisogel Tailored with Fibronectin Fragments Induce Aligned Nerve Extension

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Matthias Lütolf, Delphine Lorraine Perle Blondel

An enzymatically cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel was engineered to promote and align nerve cells in a three-dimensional manner. To render the injectable, otherwise bioinert, PEG-based material supportive for cell growth, its mechanica ...

The selective modulation of endothelial cell mobility on RGD peptide containing surfaces by YIGSR peptides

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Matthias Lütolf

The ability of the biomimetic peptides YIGSR, PHSRN and RGD to selectively affect adhesion and migration of human microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) and vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMC) was evaluated. Cell mobility was quantified by time-lapse vide ...

Bioengineered embryoids mimic post-implantation development in vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Mehmet Ugur Girgin

The difficulty of studying post-implantation development in mammals has sparked a flurry of activity to develop in vitro models, termed embryoids, based on self-organizing pluripotent stem cells. Previous approaches to derive embryoids either lack the phys ...

Mechano-modulatory synthetic niches for liver organoid derivation

Matthias Lütolf, Kristina Schoonjans, Saba Rezakhani, Giovanni Sorrentino, Ece Yildiz

The recent demonstration that primary cells from the liver can be expanded in vitro as organoids holds enormous promise for regenerative medicine and disease modelling. The use of three-dimensional (3D) cultures based on ill-defined and potentially immunog ...

Chronic inflammation imposes aberrant cell fate in regenerating epithelia through mechanotransduction

Matthias Lütolf, Freddy Radtke, Georg Fantner, Yann Barrandon, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Craig Nowell, Sylke Höhnel

Chronic inflammation is associated with a variety of pathological conditions in epithelial tissues, including cancer, metaplasia and aberrant wound healing. In relation to this, a significant body of evidence suggests that aberration of epithelial stem and ...
