SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Sessions: Helena Lozano and Martina Maier
DESCRIPTION:Electrical and morphological characterization of bacterial polar flagella\nHelena Lozano\, Nanoscale bioelectrical characterization\nThe electric polarization of proteins in response to external electric fields plays an important role to understand the electrostatic interaction of proteins with charged biomolecules and ions [1]. Even if dielectric studies on individual proteins have not been reported\, yet\, there have been some studies on protein complexes involving a relatively small number of proteins\, such as for instance\, virus capsids and virus tails [2\,3]. I am going to present the results of a dielectric study performed on a third protein complex system\, the bacterial polar flagellum\, which is composed of protein subunits called flagellin arranged in several intertwined chains [4]. In particular\, we perform a comparative study of the dielectric properties of single flagella belonging to two different bacteria types\, namely\, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and Pseudomona aeruginosas PAO1. The dielectric properties (dielectric constant) have been obtained by combining Electrostatic Force Microscopy images [2] and 3D finite element numerical calculations. The values obtained are within the range of values obtained with macroscopic techniques [1].\nReferences:\n[1] Simonson\, T.\, Rep. Prog. Phys. 66 (2003) 737–787.\n[2] Fumagalli\, L.\, Esteban-Ferrer\, et al. Nature Materials 11 (2012) 743\n[3] Cuervo\, A.\, Dans\, P. D.\, et al.

(in preparation). \nRehabilitation of cognitive deficits and depression after stroke\nMartina Maier\, SPECS\nCognitive deficits and depression are common consequences of stroke [1]\, [2]. Both have detrimental effects on quality of life and the activities of daily living [3]. In addition\, they have been linked to poor functional outcome and more severe impairment [4]\, [5]\, [6] than observed in patients without cognitive deficit or depression. Post-stroke depression has been related to cognitive impairment [7]\, but the dynamics of that relationship are not well understood\, as cognitive deficits and depression are typically studied and treated in isolation. The aim of our work is twofold. On one hand\, we investigate in how depression modulates cognitive functioning after a stroke. On the other\, we propose a new rehabilitation method that treats cognitive deficits and depression in conjunction. For this reason\, we conducted a longitudinal randomized clinical trial with chronic stroke patients. All patients had a cognitive impairment as measured with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. In addition\, they expressed various degrees of depression expressed by varying scores on the Hamilton Depression Scale. Our results so far suggest that the presence of depression modulates attentional processing similarly to a cognitive load in a psychophysical task. Moreover\, we see that depressive patients profited most of the conjunctive cognitive training and that the improvement was most evident in the attention domain. Further analysis will shed light on the underlying mechanisms of this improvement. We hope that this work will aid in not only find better rehabilitation methods\, but also improve current diagnostic tools. \nReferences:\n[1] M. Lesniak\, T. Bak\, W. Czepiel\, J. Seniów\, and A.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Vivek Shenoy
DESCRIPTION:Cell-Matrix Interactions in Fibrosis and Cancer: Multiscale mechano-chemical models\nVivek Shenoy\, University of Pennsylvania\nMuch of our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie cellular functions\, such as migration\, differentiation and force sensing has been garnered from studying cells cultured on two-dimensional (2D) substrates. In the recent years there has been intense interest and effort to understand cell mechanics in three-dimensional (3D) cultures\, which more closely resemble the in vivo microenvironment. However\, a major challenge unique to 3D settings is the dynamic feedback between cells and their surroundings. In many 3D matrices\, cells remodel and reorient local extracellular microenvironment\, which in turn alters the active mechanics and in many cases\, the cell phenotype. Most models for matrices to date do not account for such positive feedback. Such models\, validated by experiments\, can provide a quantitative framework to study how injury related factors (in pathological conditions such as fibrosis and cancer metastasis) alter extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics. They can also be used to analyze tissue morphology in complex 3D environments such as during morphogenesis and organogenesis\, and guide such processes in engineered 3D tissues. In this talk\, I will present discrete network simulations to study how cells remodel matrices and how this remodeling can lead to force transmission over large distances in cells. I will also discuss an active tissue model to quantitatively study the influence of mechanical constraints and matrix stiffness on contractility and stability of micropatterned tissues.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Mar Alvarez
DESCRIPTION:Organ-on-chip monitoring\nMar Alvarez\, Ramon y Cajal researcher\, Biomedical Applications Group\, IMB-CNM\nOrgan-on-chip (OOC) is the term used to define a microfluidic 3D culture model that contains continuously perfused chambers inhabited by living cells. The development of the OOC technology has been possible thanks to the advancement in micro- and nanotechnologies. The engineered cellular microenvironments reproduce more accurately the in vivo structure and physiological conditions\, and allow simulating the activities\, mechanics and physiological response of tissues and organs. OOC are considered as very promising tools for investigating many aspects of human physiology and pathophysiology as well as drug testing platforms with future progressions to be used for precision medicine. As the complexity of OOC systems increases\, the necessity to integrate relevant assessment methods to provide information about cell physiology\, secreted metabolites as well as pharmacodynamics drug responses also increases. \nIn this talk\, I will focus on the different engineering approaches that we have used to develop physical and chemical sensors that can be integrated into OOC. I will describe our recent works on biological barrier models\, including blood-retinal barrier\, renal tubule and liver sinusoid. In particular\, I will talk about compartmentalization strategies and integration of transepithelial electrical resistance electrodes into these models\, fabricated by standard photolithographic processes\, for the on-line quantification of ion permeability and continuous evaluation of the barrier functioning. I will as well describe the integration of inkjet-printed electrodes into the culture porous membrane for the monitorization in real-time of the dissolved oxygen levels.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Sessions: Jesús Ordoño and Ernest Latorre
DESCRIPTION:Lactate-based strategy for cardiac tissue engineering\nJesús Ordoño\, Biomaterials for regenerative therapies\nLactate is a metabolite of glycolysis\, commonly produced by cells consuming glucose. However\, growing evidences suggest new roles for this molecule\, as it has shown to act as a signalling molecule in many tissues. In this work\, we explore the effects of lactate on cardiac cells for tissue engineering applications. Our results demonstrate that lactate enhance cardiomyocyte proliferation and modulates different cell cycle related proteins\, supporting thus the idea that this molecule can be able to reprogram cardiomyocytes towards a more immature stage. Cardiac fibroblasts also show a dose-dependent response to lactate by modifying their secretome\, hence promoting a suitable environment for cardiac regeneration. Ex vivo culture of mouse hearts revealed the ability of lactate to increase survival of cardiomyocytes as well as to prolong the beating capacity of the cardiac tissue. \nWith all these new evidences of the action of lactate\, we cultured cardiac cells on a 3D scaffold based on collagen and elastin\, allowing engraftment and beating of the cardiac tissue. The response of such system to external electrical stimulus was evaluated using a pulsatile electric field stimulation\, showing a proliferative and more immature behaviour of the tissue in the presence of lactate. Cardiac cells also showed expression of specific lactate receptors and transporters\, such as MCT1\, MCT4 and GPR81. The correct development of sarcomeric structures was confirmed\, as well as the coupling and presence of intercalated disks. In conclusion\, lactate arises as a novel and feasible option to promote cardiac regeneration\, and therefore lactate-releasing scaffolds are a suitable strategy for cardiac tissue regeneration. \nActive superelasticity revealed by three-dimensional epithelial sheets of controlled size and shape\nErnest Latorre\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics\nFundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained unclear\, however\, because their mechanical properties in three-dimensions have not been accessed experimentally. By combining measurements of epithelial tension\, shape\, and luminal pressure\, here we show that epithelial cell sheets are active superelastic materials. We develop a new micropattering approach to produce massive arrays of epithelial domes with controlled basal shape and size. By measuring 3D deformations of the substrate and curvature of the dome we obtain a direct measurement of luminal pressure and epithelial tension. Observations over time-scales of hours allow us to map the epithelial tension-strain response\, revealing a tensional plateau over several-fold areal strain reaching 300%. We show that these extreme nominal strains are accommodated by a highly heterogeneous stretching of individual cells\, with barely deformed cells coexisting with others reaching 1000% areal strain\, in seeming contradiction with the measured tensional uniformity. This phenomenology is reminiscent of superelasticity\, a mechanical response generally attributed to microscopic material instabilities in metal alloys. We provide evidence that this instability is triggered in epithelial cells by limited availability of components of the actomyosin cortex. Finally\, we implement 3D vertex model\, which captures both the tension/strain relationship and strain heterogeneity. Our study unveils a new type of mechanical behavior -active superelasticity- that enables epithelial sheets to sustain extreme stretching under constant tension.

SUMMARY:Jornada sobre Nanotoxicidad
DESCRIPTION:El incremento de los riesgos potenciales para la salud ha creado una nueva disciplina\, la nanotoxicidad\, esto es\, el estudio de la toxicidad producida por el efecto de nanopartículas y nanomateriales. El objetivo de esta jornada es la de conocer más ampliamente las líneas que se están siguiendo en investigación en el área de la nanotoxicidad\, los avances de diferentes proyectos en este ámbito\, así como herramientas existentes para conocer y reducir la toxicidad de nanopartículas y nanomateriales. \nLa nanotecnología\, ciencia que interviene en el diseño\, la producción y el empleo de estructuras y objetos que cuentan con al menos una de sus dimensiones en la escala de 100 nanómetros o menos\, está permitiendo la consecución de avances en diversas áreas con repercusiones de gran alcance para la sociedad. Actualmente\, existen diversas áreas en las que la nanotecnología está en proceso de desarrollo o incluso en fase de aplicación práctica. \nSin embargo\, las nanopartículas manufacturadas pueden tener propiedades y efectos muy diferentes a los de los mismos materiales en tamaños convencionales\, lo que puede plantear nuevos riesgos para la salud del hombre y de otras especies. Algunas nanopartículas\, que se emplean como vehículo para que los fármacos lleguen en mayor cantidad a las células deseadas\, para disminuir los efectos secundarios del fármaco en otros órganos o para ambas cosas\, tienen las mismas dimensiones que determinadas moléculas biológicas y pueden interactuar con ellas. \nhttp://events.ibecbarcelona.eu/nanotoxicidad/
