Probing ciliogenesis using micropatterned substrates.
The primary cilium is a biomechanical sensor plugged in at the cell surface. It is implicated in the processing of extracellular signals and its absence or misfunctioning lead to a broad variety of serious defects known as ciliopathies. Unfortunately, the precise mechanisms underlying primary cilium assembly and operation are still poorly understood. Molecular dynamics and intracellular morphog...
متن کاملA Minimal Mechanosensing Model Predicts Keratocyte Evolution on Flexible Substrates
A model is proposed for shape evolution and locomotion of fish epidermal keratocytes on elastic substrates. The model is based on mechanosensing concepts: cells apply contractile forces onto the elastic substrate, while cell shape evolution depends locally on the substrate stress generated by themselves or external mechanical stimuli acting on the substrate. We use the level set method to study...
متن کاملLarge-scale analysis of neurite growth dynamics on micropatterned substrates.
During both development and regeneration of the nervous system, neurons display complex growth dynamics, and several neurites compete to become the neuron's single axon. Numerous mathematical and biophysical models have been proposed to explain this competition, which remain experimentally unverified. Large-scale, precise, and repeatable measurements of neurite dynamics have been difficult to p...
متن کاملMicropatterned dynamically adhesive substrates for cell migration.
We present a novel approach to examine cell migration using dynamically adhesive substrates consisting of three spatially and functionally distinct regions: the first is permanently nonadhesive to cells, the second is permanently adhesive, and the final region is electrochemically switched from nonadhesive to adhesive. We applied a double microcontact printing approach to pattern gold surfaces ...
متن کاملThermoresponsive Micropatterned Substrates for Single Cell Studies
We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties. Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolithography. A proper choice of the adhesive pattern shap...
