SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Prof. Shulamit Levenberg
DESCRIPTION:Engineering Vascularized Tissue Constructs\nProf. Shulamit Levenberg\, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering\, Technion\, Haifa\, Israel\nVascularization continues to represent a major challenge in the successful implementation of regenerative strategies. Cell organization into 3D tissue vascularized structures involves cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions\, some of which occur between the different tissue cell types. During this process\, cells further differentiate and assemble into structures resembling the final tissue architecture. We have established that vessel network assembly yielding vascularized 3D tissue structures can be induced in-vitro by means of coculturing endothelial cells\, fibroblasts and tissue-specific cells. We have also shown that in vitro pre-vascularization of engineered tissues can promote tissue survival and further vascularization upon implantation\, via anastomosis of the engineered vessels with host vasculature\, forming functional blood vessels in vivo. Vascularization of engineered tissues can be enhanced through coordinated application of improved biomaterial systems with relevant cell types. Moreover\, we have shown that vessel network maturity and morphology can be highly regulated by both matrix composition and by external mechanical stimulations. Our recent studies have focused on investigation of the degree of the in vitro prevascularization required to achieve best postimplantation vascularization of tissue constructs\, as well as on understanding the mechanisms underlying host-implant vessel integration and anastomosis. New co-culture approaches for inducing pre-defined vessel structures in vitro will also be discussed\, as will novel studies on vascularized muscle flaps engineered to reconstruct large soft tissue defects.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussion Session: Pilar Rodríguez and Montserrat López
DESCRIPTION:Long-ranged force patterns and waves during the formation and maintenance of repulsive epithelial barriers\nPilar Rodríguez Franco\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics group\nFor an organism to develop and maintain homeostasis\, cell types with distinct functions must often be separated by physical boundaries. A prevalent mechanism for the formation and maintenance of such boundaries is the repulsive interaction between Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands Ephrins. Upon contact\, cells expressing Eph and Ephrin trigger diverse local mechanisms that prevent intercellular adhesion\, including receptor endocytosis\, extracellular cadherin cleavage\, and local contractility. Here we show that\, besides these local subcellular mechanisms\, Eph/Ephrin boundary formation involves cooperative physical forces generated by cells located many rows behind the boundary. Contact between two epithelial monolayers\, one expressing Eph and one expressing Ephrin\, results in the buildup of two supracellular acto-myosin cables that line epithelial edges at both sides of the boundary. Besides these cables\, both monolayers exhibit long-lived periodic patterns of traction forces that expand several cell rows and tend to pull the monolayer away from the boundary\, thereby contributing to sustain tissue segregation. The formation of these patterns is paralleled by the generation of soliton-like deformation waves that propagate away from the boundary. Finally\, we show that periodic traction patterns and mechanical waves are observed not only during Eph/Ephrin repulsion but also during formation of diverse types of barriers. Our findings thus unveil a global physical mechanism that sustains tissue separation. \n  \nNanoscale Conductance mapping of redox proteins\nMontserrat López Martínez\, Nanoprobes and nanoswitches group\nElectron Transfer (ET) plays essential roles in crucial biological processes such as cell respiration and photosynthesis. It takes place between redox proteins and in protein complexes that display an outstanding efficiency and environmental adaptability. Although the fundamental aspects of ET processes are well understood\, more experimental methods are needed to determine electronic pathways in these redox protein structures. Understanding how ET works is important not only for fundamental reasons\, but also for the potential technological applications of these redox-active nanoscale systems.\nElectrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (ECSTM) is an excellent tool to study redox molecules including proteins. It offers single molecule resolution and allows working in nearly physiological conditions\, with full electrochemical control. Beyond imaging\, ECSTM allows performing current-voltage and current-distance tunneling spectroscopy. We adapted the current-voltage spectroscopy mode of ECSTM to obtain simultaneous topographic and differential conductance images under potentiostatic control. After validation of the method we applied it to the study of the redox protein Azurin immobilized on to a Au  surface\, a model system to study biological ET processes.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussion Session: Elisabet Martí and Maria Valls
DESCRIPTION:Amphoteric polyamidoamines as innovative tools to selectively direct antimalarial drug towards Plasmodium-infected red blood cells\nElisabet Martí\, Nanomalaria joint group\nMalaria\, caused by the protist Plasmodium spp.\, in 2015 alone claimed the lives of more than 400\,000 people\, mainly young African children\, and it had been responsible for 214 million new cases. Despite a significant decrease in the number of malaria-related deaths\, there is still a need for new therapeutic strategies such as finding new antimalarial drugs or substantially improving old ones\, by decreasing side effects and avoiding resistance appearance. The development of highly specific and efficient targeted nanocarriers can be the engine of this change\, which however needs to be done at an affordable cost for malaria endemic countries. \nFour different polyamidoamine (PAA) polymers are being studied in our group with the aim of developing a targeted nanovector capable of reaching in the mid term the preclinical pipeline. \nThe PAA AGMA1 had shown in previous studies antimalarial activity per se at non-toxic concentrations\, as well as certain specificity for pRBCs vs. RBCs. We are trying to elucidate the corresponding mechanisms by characterizing the interaction between AGMA1 and pRBCs. Experiments such as targeting and growth inhibition assays in vitro\, antimalarial activity in vivo and determination of encapsulation capacity are being currently performedwith AGMA1and with three other PAAs: ISA23\, ISA1 and ARGO7. Preliminary results suggest the capacity of AGMA1 to activate the immune system\, indicating that PAAs could be eventually used as an agent with double activity as a drug nanocarrier and as a prophylactic agent. \n  \nDevelopment of a Biomimetic Bioreactor for Cardiac Tissue Engineering Applications\nMaria Valls\, Biomimetic systems for cell engineering group\nIschemic heart disease is a major cause of human death worldwide owing to the heart’s minimal ability to repair following injury. Therefore\, shedding light on heart regeneration and its possible application in medicine is of paramount interest for the scientific community. In this sense\, cardiac tissue engineering aims at obtaining cardiac patches for regenerative medicine purposes. In addition\, these patches could serve as valuable in vitro models to study heart development and regeneration\, heart diseases or as drug screening platforms. \nA prerequisite for obtaining faithful cardiac patches is to mimic the native cardiac environment. Although major advances have been done\, the generation of mature tissue constructs from human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells is still a challenge. To address this\, we have developed a parallelized perfusion bioreactor system and characterized a collagen-based 3D scaffold. Also\, we have designed a perfusion chamber including graphite electrodes to electrically stimulate cells during culture. With this setup\, we have obtained contractile cardiac tissue constructs from primary cultures of neonatal rat heart ventricles that show an enhanced response when cultured under electrical stimulation. \nWe are currently culturing cardiac progenitors derived from hiPS cells\, to produce useful human cardiac tissue surrogates to study cardiovascular tissue maturation as well as for drug/toxicity testing.

SUMMARY:IBEC seminar: Isaac Gállego
DESCRIPTION:DNA Nanotechnology: from its Applications to the Self-Assembly in Alternative Solvents\nIsaac Gállego\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, USA\nDNA nanotechnology is a relatively new field that utilizes the DNA’s programmability and self-assembly properties to build custom-designed shapes at the nanometer scale. A common implementation is the DNA origami method\, in which a M13 single stranded genome (scaffold) is folded by hundreds of complementary base-paired oligonucleotides (staples). DNA nanostructures have been successfully utilized to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional devices with applications in lithography\, photonics\, electronics\, and the fabrication of inorganic materials. Herein\, I will present to you my work on DNA nanotechnology\, which includes: i) the development of a biosensor to dsiplay the DNA repair activity hAGT—an enzyme target for the development of cancer therapeutics;1 ii) the transfer a pre-programmed nanosclae pattern of DNA onto gold surfaces\, a challenging process useful for the fabrication of functional materials; and iii) the first study of self-assembly of DNA nanostructures in a non-aqueous\, alternative solvent\, a deep eutectic solvent composed of glycerol and choline chloride in a 4:1 molar ratio (glycholine).2 Glycholine and its hydrated mixtures facilitate DNA folding by alleviating kinetic traps that are often encountered during the folding of DNA structures in aqueous solvent. \n1.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar:  Xavier Fernández-Busquets
DESCRIPTION:A Short (Hi)story of Malaria\n Xavier Fernández-Busquets\, Nanomalaria Joint Unit (IBEC/Barcelona Institute for Global Health)\nReportedly\, malaria has been the killer of about half of all people who have ever lived\, among which such celebrities as king Tutankhamun\, Alexander the Great\, and Genghis Khan. To commemorate the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Professor Youyou Tu\, we will overview the fascinating history of this murderer disease through the small stories of its sufferers from dinosaurs to humans. From the exorbitant egos of renowned physicians to the shameful experiments in concentration camps and prisons during WWII\, or from the darkest depths of malariotherapy to the shining lights leading to the discovery of some of its remedies\, malaria will keep us in awe of its amazing (hi)story.

DESCRIPTION:A Short (Hi)story of Malaria\n Xavier Fernández-Busquets\, Nanomalaria Joint Unit (IBEC/Barcelona Institute for Global Health)\nReportedly\, malaria has been the killer of about half of all people who have ever lived\, among which such celebrities as king Tutankhamun\, Alexander the Great\, and Genghis Khan. To commemorate the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Professor Youyou Tu\, we will overview the fascinating history of this murderer disease through the small stories of its sufferers from dinosaurs to humans. From the exorbitant egos of renowned physicians to the shameful experiments in concentration camps and prisons during WWII\, or from the darkest depths of malariotherapy to the shining lights leading to the discovery of some of its remedies\, malaria will keep us in awe of its amazing (hi)story.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Wieteke de Boer
DESCRIPTION:Optical activation of neurons through low power two-photon IR excitation of gold nanoparticles\nWieteke de Boer\, Departments of Biological Sciences and Neuroscience\, Columbia University\nSelective optical stimulation of specific classes of excitable cells is a major goal in neurobiology. Here we propose the approach of indirect photostimulation through gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)\, which are conjugated to the neuronal membrane. Au NPs are frequently used in biological research due to their versatile applicability: they have a broad optical tunability\, large absorption cross sections\, can be made chemically stable and biocompatible\, and most importantly they are non-invasive and non-toxic even up to excessively large quantities. We show that these NPs can facilitate reliable optical stimulation of neurons through the plasmonic effect using IR two-photon (2P) excitation\, with extremely low excitation powers. The NPs can be easily tethered to any targeted tissue and are known to be excreted without inducing any permanent damage. Using this approach\, Au NPs are an attractive alternative to genetic modification techniques (such as channelrhodopsins) as it circumvents potential issues often seen in those methods\, e.g. poor signal-to-noise ratio\, photo-instability\, photo-toxicity and expression efficiency.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Jaume Veciana
DESCRIPTION:Multifunctional molecular nanovesicles: A new challenge for drug delivery\nProf. Jaume Veciana\, ICMAB-CSIC and CIBER-BBN\, Campus Universitari de Bellaterra\nIn this lecture a simple one-step and scale-up methodology for preparing multifunctional nanovesicle-drug conjugates will be presented. This method is readily amenable to the integration/encapsulation of multiple bioactive components\, like peptides\, proteins\, enzymes\, into the vesicles in a single-step yielding sufficient quantities for clinical research becoming\, thereby\, nanocarriers to be used in nanomedicine. A couple of examples of novel nanomedicines for solving serious diseases\, prepared by this methodology\, will be presented.
