Cytoplasmic flow induced by a rotating wire in living cells: Magnetic rotational spectroscopy and finite element simulations
Charles Paul Moore, Foad Ghasemi, Jean-François Berret
Recent studies have highlighted intracellular viscosity as a key biomechanical property with potential as a biomarker for cancer cell metastasis. In the context of cellular mechano…
Massart iron oxide nanoparticles in mechanobiology
Myriam Reffay, Gilles Tessier, Jean-François Berret
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) derived from the Massart coprecipitation method have played a pioneering role in bridging materials science and biology. Their magnetic moment and nan…
Dual-Functional Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles with Antioxidant and DNase I activities to Prevent and degrade Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
Hachem Dich, Ramy Abou Rjeily, Gabriela Rath +4
Neutrophils play a central role in immunothrombosis through the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a process known as NETosis. Upon stimulation, neutrophils releas…
Characterization of atomization and delivery efficiency of exogenous surfactant in preterm infant lungs using an ex vivo respiratory model
Ghalia Kaouane, Jean-François Berret, Yannick Cremillieux +9
Administration of pulmonary surfactant is crucial for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of…
Magnetic Pillar Induced Poiseuille-like Flow in Microfluidic Channels with Viscous and Viscoelastic Fluids
Charles Paul Moore, Stefan Rouach, Marine Le Goas +4
Mucociliary clearance in mammals serves as the primary defense mechanism for removing particulate matter deposited in the pulmonary airways. Dysfunctions in this process are linked…
Heterogeneity of tumor biophysical properties and their potential role as prognostic markers
Anja Madleine Markl, Daniel Nieder, Diana Isabel Sandoval-Bojorquez +6
Progress in our knowledge of tumor mechanisms and complexity led to the understanding of the physical parameters of cancer cells and their microenvironment, including the mechanica…
