EVE: A framework for running virtual reality experiments in neuroscience
(2018)Experiments in neuroscience often rely on virtual reality (VR) to investigate navigation inside the MRI scanner. While these studies are limited by the lack of locomotion and proprioceptive feedback, researchers have successfully immersed participants using passive (e.g., videos, images) or active (e.g., movement mediated by a control interface) virtual environments in order to study different aspects of their spatial memory. However, ...Other Conference Item -
Microfluidic impedance platform for long-term detection of parasite viability
(2018)22nd International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (MicroTAS 2018)Schistosomiasis is a disease, caused by a tropical worm of the genus Schistosoma, which infects millions of people annually. The current gold standard for screening candidate drugs against schistosomiasis is highly labor-intensive and provides limited information on drug efficacy. Here, we present an impedance-based microfluidic platform, capable of monitoring the viability of the parasites during long-term measurements. This device can ...Other Conference Item -
Microfluidic multi-organ platform to study the effect of prodrugs on early embryonic development
(2018)22nd International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (MicroTAS 2018)Assessing the toxicity of prodrugs still constitutes a major challenge in current cell-based assays. Here, we present a microfluidic platform to test the toxic effects of liver-activated prodrugs on early embryonic development. Embryoid bodies (EBs) and human liver microtissues (hLiMTs, InSphero AG) were combined in a hanging-drop network (HDN, [1]) which features an ideal environment for the formation and cultivation of 3D spherical ...Other Conference Item -
Predicting and measuring glucose and lactate metabolism of cancer spheroids in hanging-drop networks
(2018)22nd International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (MicroTAS 2018)3D cell cultures from well-established cell lines and ex vivo tissues are increasingly popular biological models. Combining the hanging-drop technology with enzyme-based biosensors enables live-monitoring of microtissue glucose consumption and lactate production. We developed a numerical model that accurately predicts cancer microtissue glucose uptake and lactate secretion. In this work, the faithful reproduction of nutrient dynamics in ...Other Conference Item -
