Background & Aims Intestinal fibrosis is a long-term complication in inflammatory bowel
diseases (IBD) that frequently results in functional damage, bowel obstruction, and surgery. …

Multiphoton microscopy of cellular autofluorescence and second harmonic generation from
collagen facilitates imaging of living cells and tissues without the need for additional …

Assessing disease activity is a prerequisite for an adequate treatment of inflammatory bowel
diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. In addition to endoscopic …

In striated muscle, desmin intermediate filaments interlink the contractile myofibrillar apparatus
with mitochondria, nuclei, and the sarcolemma. The desmin network’s pivotal role in …

The second harmonic generation (SHG) signal intensity sourced from skeletal muscle myosin
II strongly depends on the polarization of the incident laser beam relative to the muscle …

The pore size of biopolymer networks governs their mechanical properties and strongly
impacts the behavior of embedded cells. Confocal reflection microscopy and second harmonic …

El artículo presenta un estado de situación de las políticas de integración de TIC en los
sistemas educativos de América Latina a partir de relevamientos recientes realizados por …

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are crucial mediators of immunity and epithelial
barrier function during immune responses against extracellular bacteria. Here, we identify …

The heart as a contractile hollow organ finely tunes mechanical parameters such as stroke
volume, stroke pressure and cardiac output according to filling volumes, filling pressures via …

Immune cell activity is a major factor for disease progression in inflammatory bowel diseases
(IBD). Classifying the type and functional state of immune cells is therefore crucial in clinical …
