Pde-Constrained Optimization For Nuclear Mechanics

Aleix Boquet I Pujadas

We propose an image based PDE-constrained optimisation framework to compute the dynamical quantities of a cell nucleus undergoing deformation. It allows retrieving the displacement, strain and stress at each pixel of the nuclear domain, as well as the trac ...

NAD(+) Precursors: A Questionable Redundancy

Carlos Canto Alvarez

The last decade has seen a strong proliferation of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases based on increasing cellular NAD(+) bioavailability. Among them, the dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors-classicall ...

A non-twisting flux tube for local gyrokinetic simulations

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Local gyrokinetic simulations use a field-aligned domain that twists due to the magnetic shear of the background magnetic equilibrium. However, if the magnetic shear is strong and/or the domain is long, the twist can become so extreme that it fails to prop ...

The Human RNA Helicase DDX21 Presents a Dimerization Interface Necessary for Helicase Activity

Didier Trono, Matteo Dal Peraro, Suliana Manley, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Jenny Sülzle

Members of the DEAD-box helicase family are involved in all fundamental processes of RNA metabolism, and as such, their malfunction is associated with various diseases. Currently, whether and how oligomerization impacts their biochemical and biological fun ...

On The Behavior Of Clamped Plates Under Large Compression

We determine the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of clamped plates under large compression by relating this problem to eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions. Using the method of fundamental solutions, we then carry out a numerical ...

Atomic Force Microscopy of Biological Systems: Quantitative Imaging and Nanomotion Detection

Petar Stupar

The core of this thesis is the application of different modalities of atomic force microscopy to study living systems. After a brief introduction, quantitative imaging state of the art is presented and the applications for mammalian, plant, bacterial, and ...

Mitochondrial activity detected by cantilever based sensor

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Petar Stupar, Wojciech Chomicki

Our team recently demonstrated that cantilever based devices can detect signature of life in a chemistry independent manner. In this technique, the organism of interest is attached onto a classical AFM cantilever. If alive, it induces nanometre scale oscil ...

Chromatin organization, transcription factor dynamics and gene expression in higher eukaryotes with superresolution imaging and single molecule tracking

Aleksandr Benke

Gene expression is dynamic and heterogeneous across all cell types. It serves several fundamental functions such as adaptation for changing environment and developing tissue specific phenotype and functionality during development and in adult organism. Con ...

Single-Molecule Imaging Deciphers the Relation between Mobility and Signaling of a Prototypical G Protein-Coupled Receptor in Living Cells

Horst Arthur Vogel, Joachim Piguet, Luc Veya

Lateral diffusion enables efficient interactions between membrane proteins leading to signal transmission across the plasma membrane. An open question is how the spatio-temporal distribution of cell surface receptors influences the transmembrane signaling ...

Structural studies suggest a peptidoglycan hydrolase function for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Tat-secreted protein Rv2525c

Stewart Cole, Raju Mukherjee, Sophie Magnet

Among the few proteins shown to be secreted by the Tat system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv2525c is of particular interest, since its gene is conserved in the minimal genome of Mycobacterium leprae. Previous evidence linked this protein to cell wall me ...

Elastic membrane heterogeneity of living cells revealed by stiff nanoscale membrane domains

Giovanni Dietler, Paolo De Los Rios, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit, Alexandre Yersin, Pascal Steiner

Many approaches have been developed to characterize the heterogeneity of membranes in living cells. In this study, the elastic properties of specific membrane domains in living cells are characterized by atomic force microscopy. Our data reveal the existen ...

Development of a Bond Graph Based Model of Computation for SystemC-AMS

Yusuf Leblebici, Alain Vachoux, Torsten Mähne

The modelling and simulation capabilities of SystemC-AMS concerning conservative continuous time systems involving the interaction of several physical domains and with digital control components are currently limited. Bond graphs unify the description of m ...

Evaluation of AllnN/GaN HEMTs on sapphire substrate in microwave, time and temperature domains

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Eric Feltin, Marcel Py

AllnN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on sapphire substrate have yielded a maximum drain current density of 1.26 A/mm with a current gain cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies about 26 and 40 GHz, respectively, for a 0.25 mu m gate leng ...

Molecular analysis of the biodiversity of protists in hydrocarbon-polluted and pristine soils

Enrique Lara

Eukaryotic microorganisms are an essential component of the Earth's global diversity. It is believed that the number of protistan taxa far outnumbers the one of viruses and bacteria. The taxonomic classification of these organisms, which also represent the ...
