Natural immunity or resistance to pathogens most often relies on the genetic make-up of the
host. In a LEW rat model of refractoriness to toxoplasmosis, we previously identified on …

The Chlamydiales order is composed of nine families of strictly intracellular bacteria. Among
them, Chlamydia trachomatis , C. pneumoniae , and C. psittaci are established human …

Ticks are vectors of several microorganisms responsible for infectious diseases in human
and animals, such as Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Coxiella burnetii. In this study, we …

Hydrogels (gels) are attractive tools for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to
their potential for drug delivery and ECM-like composition. In this study, we use rheology to …

Filopodia are finger-like actin-rich protrusions that extend from the cell surface and are
important for cell–cell communication and pathogen internalization. The small size and transient …

Catalytically essential side-chain radicals have been recognized in a growing number of
redox enzymes. Here we present a novel approach to study this class of redox cofactors. Our …

Human platelet lysate (HPL), rich in growth factors, is increasingly recognized for its potential
in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, its use in liquid or gel form is …

… where, µ is the fluid dynamic viscosity for WIP at room temperature (10-3 Pa.s), Q is the flow
rate (m3s-1), h denotes the channel half-height, 10-4 m in this study and l is the channel half…

We present the first use of amperometric detection to assess the viability of mammalian cells
in continuous mode, directly in the cell culture medium. Vero or HeLa cells were injected …

A novel electrochemical system has been designed and assembled to study the kinetic activity
of cytochrome c oxidase. Gold electrodes coated with 3-mercapto-1-propanol formed the …
