SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defense: Dolores Blanco
DESCRIPTION:Noninvasive multimodal analysis of thoracic bioimpedance and myographic signals for the assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease\nDolores Blanco\, Biomedical Signal Processing and Interpretation \nChronic respiratory diseases cause morbidity and premature mortality in adult population. In particular\, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a socioeconomic burden worldwide. COPD is usually evaluated by a spirometry test to quantify the airflow limitation. Classical spirometry requires the patients to move to the medical centers making difficult the continuous monitoring. Alternatively\, other noninvasive methods have been studied to monitor respiration because of their capability to provide valuable respiratory-related information. These techniques would lighten the intrusiveness of the measurements and ease the ambulatory monitoring of respiration. However\, the applicability of these methods into the clinics is still limited because of the lack of evidence in these applications. \nThe objective of this thesis is to propose and evaluate novel noninvasive methods to monitor respiration and assess obstructive diseases. We proposed a setup and a protocol to evaluate the applicability of thoracic bioimpedance and surface myographic signals for respiration assessment in healthy subjects and COPD patients. We acquired bioimpedance\, airflow and surface myographic signals in ten healthy subjects and fifty COPD patients. The physiological data was measured during an inspiratory threshold loading protocol to evaluate the methods during restrictive conditions. The thesis consisted of three different studies published in high impact factor journals. The two first studies delved into the changes of thoracic bioimpedance during restrictive breathing and\, the third one focused on the combination of bioimpedance and myographic signals for the assessment of COPD. \nPrevious studies showed a linear relationship between thoracic bioimpedance and respiratory volume during normal breathing. Firstly\, we assessed this linear relationship in healthy subjects for the first time\, during a loading protocol. We found a strong correlation between the signals even during highest loads. Nevertheless\, bioimpedance measurement is the combination of the different impedances of body tissues\, organs and fluids and consequently\, not only volume contributes to its measurement. Accordingly\, our second study aimed to evaluate the relevance of volume and chest movement to bioimpedance measurement at different levels of inspiratory muscle activity. We characterized bioimpedance using chest movement and volume signals by linear models and neural networks for different muscle effort. The results agreed with our previous results\, indicating that respiratory volume was the main contribution to bioimpedance\, but chest movement contributed substantially and more notably at high muscle activity. Both studies provided better knowledge of thoracic bioimpedance measurements which reinforces its use for noninvasive respiratory monitoring. \nFinally\, we evaluated the combination of thoracic bioimpedance and surface myographic signals in the COPD population. We proposed two novel ratios derived from the bioimpedance amplitude and myographic activity. These ratios showed significant differences between the mild and severe COPD patients meaning that the severest patients had lower inspiratory ventilation contribution of the inspiratory muscles. Consequently\, we suggest these novel ratios to provide valuable information to noninvasively monitor and complement the classical assessment of COPD. \nThe multimodal approach proposed in this thesis supports the application of thoracic bioimpedance for respiratory monitoring during normal and restrictive breathing. Furthermore\, the combination of bioimpedance and myographic information exhibited differences between COPD severity. The proposed methods will provide additional information about COPD condition which will be easily tracked by a single wearable device. Consequently\, the results of this thesis open up the way for a high-quality noninvasive monitoring of chronic respiratory patients. \n\nThis thesis defense will take place on Monday\, 9th November\, at 15:00 hours. \nLocation: The defense will be online using Microsoft Teams. People are invited to attend upon receiving a link that you have to request to Dolores Blanco (dblanco@ibecbarcelona.eu) or Raimon Jané (rjane@ibecbarcelona.eu).

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis defense: Helena Lozano
DESCRIPTION:Electrical and topographical study of bacterial appendages at the nanoscale\nHelena Lozano\, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization group \nSome bacteria can exchange electrons with non-soluble electron acceptors\, such as minerals. This phenomenon is called Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) and it can be done through several mechanisms\, especially through conductive bacterial nanowires. \nThe main objective of this thesis is the investigation of the polarization properties of electrochemically active bacteria and their appendages. Specifically\, I have studied two types of bacteria\, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and cable bacteria. I have used the Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM)\, which measures the electrostatic force using a nanometric probe\, combined with finite element simulations to obtain the polarization properties. The electrostatic force depends mainly on the geometry and dielectric constant of the probe-sample system. \nFirst\, I have developed a way to obtain the dimensions of objects avoiding physical contact with the sample by measuring the electrostatic force. I have tested this technique on silver nanowires and bacterial flagella\, optimizing the EFM technique to nanowire-like biological samples at the nanoscale. Afterward\, I have studied S. oneidensis Outer Membrane Extensions (OMEs)\, responsible for the EET. I have obtained a low value of the dielectric constant (εOME=3.7±0.7). However\, considering that the conduction mechanism of such OMEs is through electron hopping\, where electrons are localized\, these results do not contradict the literature. \nI have also studied the cable bacteria\, especially the fibers that are along this filamentous bacterium. The dielectric constant of the fibers was εr=7±1. This result is not compatible with the conductivity reported in the literature. Therefore\, a core-shell model was proposed with a conductive core of h~10–20nm. \nSubsequently\, I have performed qualitative EFM measurements in liquid over living and rehydrated S. oneidensis bacteria. \nFinally\, I have performed macroscale measurements in living S. oneidensis using a microfluidic device that I designed\, fabricated and characterized at the Denmark Technical University (DTU)\, Copenhagen. It was used to perform two-electrode impedance measurements. \n\nIn order to attend to the defense\, you must send an email to the president of the Doctoral Commission of the Faculty of Physics (Dr. Eugeni Grauges Pous – vd.fisica.recerca@ub.edu) with a minimum notice of 48 hours and will be held via Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Martí Checa
DESCRIPTION:A Novel Scanning Probe Microscopy technique to study the nanoscale electrical properties of cells\nMartí Checa\, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization group \nThe goal of this work of thesis is the study of electrical properties in cells. That is the study of how they can conduct electricity\, accumulate charges\, or polarize. Experimental techniques able to measure electrical properties of complex heterogeneous samples (like cells) with excellent spatial resolution are needed to accomplish such characterization at the single-cell level (microscale) or even at the subcellular level (nanoscale). During this work of thesis\, a new experimental technique named “Scanning Dielectric Force Volume Microscopy (SDFVM)” has been developed together with the theoretical modeling for its understanding when operated in a liquid environment. \nThe technique has been validated with known samples (both in dry and liquid) and applied to many different nanometric systems of interest. The first full map of the local dielectric constant of a prokaryotic cell in dry conditions has been obtained with unparalleled accuracy and spatial resolution\, demonstrating its capability for label-free composition and structural mapping. Moreover\, the method has been applied to liquid environment\, obtaining the first-ever local dielectric contrast in fixed eukaryotic cells. Furthermore\, the first preliminary results in living cells have also been shown. SDFVM is expected to have an important impact not only in Life Sciences but also in Material Science\, where the mapping of the dielectric properties of samples showing complex nanoscale topographies is often needed. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Aida Garrido
DESCRIPTION:Optical control of endogenous receptors and cellular excitability with light\nAida Garrido\, Nanoprobes and nanoswitches group \nLight-controlled manipulation of neuronal activity has transformed the field of neurobiology. Light provides temporal and spatial resolution over activation or inhibition of targeted populations of neurons\, one single neuron or single synapses. Such precision could be achieved with optogenetics\, which is based on the over-expression of light-sensitive proteins\, but it requires gene therapy and often alters cellular physiology. An alternative to optogenetics is offered by photopharmacology (the development of light-regulated drugs or photoswitches)\, which can operate on endogenous receptors without genetic manipulation. Several new photoswitches are described in this thesis to improve their pharmacological and optical properties.\nIn photopharmacology\, azobenzene is the most commonly used light switch. Photoswitchable tethered ligands (PTLs) are tri-modular molecules able to anchor to target receptors and alter their function by switching the azobenzene group. In the first chapter we demonstrate the ability to target endogenous receptors of hippocampal neurons and olfactory bulb neurons from Xenopus larvae. The chemical strategy used was to introduce a highly reactive anchoring group to a PTL with similar structure to the reported MAG compound used in the light regulated glutamate receptor\, LiGluR. These new kind of PTLs were called “Targeted Covalent Photoswitches” (TCPs).\nThe promiscuity of the reactive group of TCP limits the possibility to spatially confine the drug conjugation. Thus\, we designed a photolabile TCP that can be conjugated to its target with a specific wavelength\, and then be photoswitched at another wavelength.\nDespite the advantages of all molecules described above\, they share a common limitation: the activation wavelength of azobenzene is in the UV-violet range. Increasing the push-pull effect at the azobenzenic core by adding different substituents\, we achieved a TCP derivative activatable at the visible range and ultrafast relaxing. In this way a single wavelength of stimulation can be used. Both features make them great candidates to control ultrafast neurotransmission processes such as the ones implicated in sound coding in the cochlea. We demonstrated in a gerbil animal model the capacity of this blue-activated TCP to photosensitize native receptors of adult gerbil cochlea. This first proof of concept opens new possibilities to develop optical cochlear implants for the treatment of hearing loss avoiding gene therapy.\nChemical substitutions can also be rationally designed to enhance two-photon (2P) absorptivity without modifying the dynamics of photoswitches. In the third chapter we described two new 2P enhanced MAG derivatives to photocontrol LiGluR. We validated their properties with an all-optical approach\, by recording calcium induced neuronal responses in organotypic hippocampal slices\, and in vivo in Caenorhabditis elegans. The combination of slow relaxation lifetime and enhanced 2P absorptivity is translated into an accumulation of the active isomer of the photoswitch that successfully enhances its functional effect even at low illumination power.\nAnother way to spectrally modify the characteristics of a chromophore while avoiding mutation screening and new synthetic processes is by using light-harvesting fluorophores. Spectral overlapping of fluorophore emission and chromophore absorption broadens its activation spectrum. By means of chemical protection and deprotection\, we orthogonally control the conjugation of fluorophores and photoswitches. This is the first demonstration of light-harvesting strategy for optogenetics and photopharmacology.\nFinally\, we describe the use of novel PCLs containing chromophores other than linear azobenzene for the light-controlled activation of hippocampal neurons. Cyclic azobenzenes reverse isomer thermal stability and consequently also the activity of the photoswitch. On the other hand\, stilbenes allow the irreversible but non-photo-destructive activation of the original molecule\, thus avoiding the creation of photo-products.\nIn conclusion\, this thesis puts forward several advances in the photochromism and pharmacology of photoswitches for the control of neurotransmission without need of genetic manipulation.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Carlos Pérez González
DESCRIPTION:Active forces driving spreading and retraction of living tissues\nCarlos Pérez González\, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group\n \nDevelopment\, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behaviour of inert fluids\, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions. The validity and scope of this analogy are unclear\, however\, because the active cellular forces that drive tissue wetting have been neither measured nor theoretically accounted for. In this thesis\, we show that the transition between two-dimensional epithelial monolayers and three-dimensional spheroidal aggregates can be understood as an active wetting transition whose physics differs fundamentally from that of passive wetting phenomena. By combining an active polar fluid model with measurements of physical forces as a function of tissue size\, contractility\, cell–cell and cell–substrate adhesion\, and substrate stiffness\, we show that the wetting transition results from the competition between traction forces and contractile intercellular stresses. This competition defines a new intrinsic length scale that gives rise to a critical size for the wetting transition in tissues\, a striking feature that has no counterpart in classical wetting. Finally\, we show that active shape fluctuations are dynamically amplified during tissue dewetting. Overall\, we conclude that tissue spreading constitutes a prominent example of active wetting—a novel physical scenario that may explain morphological transitions during tissue morphogenesis and tumour progression.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Carlos Pérez González
DESCRIPTION:Active forces driving spreading and retraction of living tissues\nCarlos Pérez González\, Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group\n \nDevelopment\, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behaviour of inert fluids\, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions. The validity and scope of this analogy are unclear\, however\, because the active cellular forces that drive tissue wetting have been neither measured nor theoretically accounted for. In this thesis\, we show that the transition between two-dimensional epithelial monolayers and three-dimensional spheroidal aggregates can be understood as an active wetting transition whose physics differs fundamentally from that of passive wetting phenomena. By combining an active polar fluid model with measurements of physical forces as a function of tissue size\, contractility\, cell–cell and cell–substrate adhesion\, and substrate stiffness\, we show that the wetting transition results from the competition between traction forces and contractile intercellular stresses. This competition defines a new intrinsic length scale that gives rise to a critical size for the wetting transition in tissues\, a striking feature that has no counterpart in classical wetting. Finally\, we show that active shape fluctuations are dynamically amplified during tissue dewetting. Overall\, we conclude that tissue spreading constitutes a prominent example of active wetting—a novel physical scenario that may explain morphological transitions during tissue morphogenesis and tumour progression.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Víctor González Tarragó
DESCRIPTION:Control of integrin-mediated mechanoresponse by binding partners and force loading rates\nVíctor González Tarragó\, Cellular and Molecular Mechanobiology group \nThis thesis is a study on the integrin-mediated mechanoresponse by binding partners and force loading rates. Regarding the binding partners\, here we demonstrate an alternative and counter-intuitive mechanism\, by which another adaptor protein (ZO-1) promotes activation but decreases mechanical resistance. Because such mechanical regulation is bound to impact in downstream mechanosensing processes\, this provides an interesting and novel way to regulate cell adhesion\, mechanoresponse\, and function in general. Regarding the force loading rates\, our results show that force loading rates drive mechanosensing by increasing reinforcement and adhesion growth at the local adhesion level\, in a talin-dependent way. However\, if mechanically induced deformations are too high or too fast\, the cytoskeleton fluidizes\, thereby decreasing force loading rates and mechanosensing. This provides a unifying mechanism to understand how cells respond not only to directly applied forces\, but also to passive mechanical stimuli such as tissue rigidity or ECM ligand distribution. Further\, it also provides a framework to understand how the seemingly opposed concepts of reinforcement and fluidization are coupled to drive mechanosensing. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis defence: Javier Burgués
DESCRIPTION:“Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Gas Sensors: Gas Source Localization with a Nano-Drone”.\nJavier Burgués\, Signal and information processing for sensing systems group \nChemical source localization (CSL) by autonomous robots has been a topic of research since the early 1990s and still today remains elusive beyond simple scenarios. It has numerous potential applications\, such as the localization of toxic emissions\, malodors\, gas leaks and hazardous substances in general\, without risking human lives. An intuitive CSL approach is to mimic the known chemo-orientation behaviour of some flying insects\, such as moths and mosquitos\, which effectively use odor plumes for mating and foraging. However\, terrestrial robots are too slow to perform insect-like movements and the response time and limit of detection (LOD) of current odor sensors for key compounds of biological relevance for plume navigation is orders of magnitude higher than in biological chemoreceptors. Instead of using a slow terrestrial robot equipped with complex instrumentation\, in this thesis we address the CSL problem with a nano-drone\, i.e. a miniaturized aerial robot\, equipped with a simple metal oxide semiconductor (MOX) sensor. Improving key specifications of MOX sensors for this application is one of the core parts of this thesis. Specifically\, we introduce novel signal processing methods for estimating and optimizing the LOD\, reducing the power consumption and improving the response time. We propose a univariate LOD optimization method based on linearized calibration models and a multivariate approach based on orthogonal partial least squares (O-PLS). To improve the response time\, we use high-frequency features extracted from the MOX signal derivative\, which are optimized for changing wind conditions and real-time operation. A novel setup consisting on a 3D grid of MOX sensors is proposed for real-time visualization of the gas distribution. Two map-based CSL strategies are finally evaluated using the nano-drone in experiments performed in a large indoor environment (160 m2) where a chemical source is placed in challenging positions for the drone. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed nano-drone can quickly (< 3 min) build a rough gas distribution map (3D) of the environment and localize the main chemical source within it with small errors.
