BNR # 46 - May 28th 2013 by Pr. Wilhelm HUCK

Title: Artificial Cells in Picoliter Droplets

BNR 45 : Pr. Matthias LUTOLF (EPFL) - Friday March 15th 2013, PM 5:00

Title : "Hydrogel microfluidics for stem cell fate control" Abstract: Biomolecular signaling is of upmost importance in governing the patterning of the developing embryo where biomolecules termed ‘morphogens’ regulate key cell fate decisions such as lineage specification. In vivo, these factors are presented in a spatiotemporally tightly controlled fashion and in the context of a soft and hydrated microenvironment. Traditional in vitro methods fall short of recapitulating this complex physiological biomolecule display. Emerging microfluidic technologies ...

LIMMS Workshop on the Frontiers of Nanoscience and Biosystems - May 16-17,2013 - CNRS Campus Gerard Megie - Paris (France)

The LIMMS European-Japanese workshop will review and discuss the frontier research on Nanoscience and Biosystems by Japanese, French and European research leaders around 4 main challenges : Molecular and Cellular Systems, Biomechanical Measurements and Analysis, In situ Characterization of Nanostructures, Energy Conscious Devices. It will also be a gateway to a mobility at LIMMS in Tokyo. More information and registration by May 2,2013 on http://limmshp.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/blog/workshop-limms-2013.

CNRS - En direct des laboratoires - Des prédateurs moléculaires

http://www.cnrs.fr/insis/recherche/direct-labos/2013/predateurs.htm CNRS Paris, 30 janvier 2013 Les chercheurs du LIMMS (CNRS/Université de Tokyo) ont réussi à montrer comment on fabrique, dans des systèmes artificiels non vivants, les mécanismes qui fournissent la base de la dynamique des écosystèmes. En partant de réactions simples pour créer de manière entièrement artificielle un système prédateur-proie dans un tube à essai, les chercheurs ont mis en lumière la profonde homologie qui lie de manière continue les systèmes moléculaires, les réseaux cellulaires et les écosystèmes. Ce travail publié dans ACS nano(1)(voir aussi l’article de perspective (2)) souligne les liens qui existent entre les mondes biologiques et chimiques et permet de mieux comprendre les racines microscopiques des phénomènes du vivant.

EUJO-LIMMS Call for partner - step 1 Open Now - Deadline : August 31st,2013

EUJO-LIMMS is opening to a 4th partner in 2014 and is therefore launching a call for ONE additional partner in two steps. The first step is a call for expressions of interest open now with a deadline on August 31st, 2013. We are offering the potential partner to become a member of our consortium and benefit from an EU grant of 200.000 euros for mobility and personnel costs in order to pursue joint projects at LIMMS in Tokyo. The new partner may have one or several research teams involved in the cooperation with LIMMS.
