Experimental studies of hydro-mechanical couplings in Enhanced Geothermal Reservoirs

Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) allow for worldwide geothermal electricity production. They target deep (3-5 km), fractured rock reservoirs whose permeability is artificially increased through hydraulic stimulations (fluid injections). The injections mod ...

Repetitive regime of highly focused liquid microjets for needle-free injection

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jan Krizek

Fast liquid jets are investigated for use as a needle-free drug delivery system into an elastic tissue such as skin. Using smaller jet diameters in a repetitive regime can mitigate bruising and pain associated with current injectors. In this study, we aim ...

Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence

Yann Barrandon, Stéphanie Claudinot, Paola Bonfanti, Ariane Rochat, Daniel-Alexandre Littman, Christèle Gonneau

The formation of hair follicles, a landmark of mammals, requires complex mesenchymal-epithelial interactions and it is commonly believed that embryonic epidermal cells are the only cells that can respond to hair follicle morphogenetic signals in vivo. Here ...

Theory of screw dislocation strengthening in random BCC alloys from dilute to "High-Entropy" alloys

William Curtin, Francesco Maresca

Random body-centered-cubic (BCC) "High Entropy" alloys are a new class of alloys, some having high strength and good ductility at room temperature and some having exceptional high-temperature strength. There are no theories of strengthening of screw disloc ...

Development of Tissue Kallikrein Inhibitors for the Treatment of Netherton Syndrome

Patrick Andreas Gonschorek

There is currently no approved treatment for Netherton syndrome, which is a severe, genetic skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation and excessive peeling of the skin. Even though the molecular disease mechanism has been assigned to the unopposed ...
