SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Nimesh Ramesh Chahare
DESCRIPTION:Mechanics of Epithelial tissue subjected to controlled pressure\n\n\n\n\nAuthor: Nimesh Ramesh Chahare\, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group\n\n\n\nBiography: \nNimesh Ramesh Chahare earned his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology\, Nagpur in 2014. He further pursued a master’s degree at the Indian Institute of Science\, Bengaluru\, completing it in 2016. In 2017\, he began his doctoral work in Barcelona\, under the guidance of Prof. Marino Arroyo at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\, and Prof. Xavier Trepat at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia. Currently\, he is a PhD candidate in applied mathematics\, specializing in the study of the mechanics of epithelial tissue under controlled pressure. \nAbstract: \nEpithelial sheets form specialized 3D structures suited to their physiological roles\, such as branched alveoli in the lungs\, tubes in the kidney\, and villi in the intestine. To generate and maintain these structures\, epithelia must undergo complex 3D deformations across length and time scales. How epithelial shape arises from active stresses\, viscoelasticity\, and luminal pressure remains poorly understood. To address this question\, we developed a microfluidic chip and a computational framework to engineer 3D epithelial tissues with controlled shape and pressure. In the setup\, an epithelial monolayer is grown on a porous surface with circular low adhesion zones. On applying hydrostatic pressure\, the monolayer delaminates into a spherical cap from the circular zone. This simple shape allows us to calculate epithelial tension using Laplace’s law. Through this approach\, we subject the monolayer to a range of lumen pressures at different rates and hence probe the relation between strain and tension in different regimes while computationally tracking actin dynamics and their mechanical effect at the tissue scale. Slow pressure changes relative to the actin dynamics allow the tissue to accommodate large strain variations. However\, under sudden pressure reductions\, the tissue develops buckling patterns and folds with different degrees of symmetry-breaking to store excess tissue area. These insights allow us to pattern epithelial folds through rationally directed buckling. Our study establishes a new approach for engineering epithelial morphogenetic events. \n  \n\n\nReading date: 20/06/2023\nReading time: 15:00 \nReading place: Facultat de Matemàtiques i Estadística-Sala d’Actes FME\, Edifici U\, Campus Sud\nThesis director: ARROYO BALAGUER\, MARINO and TREPAT GUIXER\, XAVIER\nCommittee:\nPRESIDENT: TRIVEDI\, VIKAS\nSECRETARI: MUÑOZ ROMERO\, JOSE JAVIER\nVOCAL: SUZANNE\, MAGALI \n\n\n

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defense: Sefora Conti
DESCRIPTION:Mechanical phenotyping of cancer stemness in colorectal cancer.\n\n\n\n\nAuthor: Sefora Conti\, Integrative cell and Tissue Dynamics group\n\n\nReading date: 18/07/2023\nReading time: 15:00 \n\nAbstract: Colorectal cancer tumors are composed of heterogeneous and plastic cell populations\, including a pool of cancer stem cells that express LGR5. Whether these distinct cell populations display different mechanical properties\, and how these properties might contribute to metastasis is unknown. Using CRC patient derived organoids (PDOs)\, we found that compared to LGR5- cells\, LGR5+ cancer stem cells are stiffer\, adhere better to the extracellular matrix (ECM)\, move slower both as single cells and clusters\, display higher nuclear YAP\, show a higher survival rate in response to mechanical confinement\, and form larger transendothelial gaps. These differences are largely explained by the downregulation of the membrane to cortex attachment proteins Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin (ERMs) in the LGR5+ cells. By analyzing scRNA-seq expression patterns from a patient cohort\, we show that this downregulation is a robust signature of colorectal tumors. Our results show that LGR5- cells display a mechanically dynamic phenotype suitable for dissemination from the primary tumor whereas LGR5+ cells display a mechanically stable and resilient phenotype suitable for extravasation and metastatic growth. \n  \n\nReading place: Aula Marga\, Hospital Clinic \n\nMore information here.
