Sulfide (H 2 S) is an inhibitor of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase comparable to cyanide. In
this study, poisoning of cells was observed with sulfide concentrations above 20µM. Sulfide …

Although mutations leading to a compromised nuclear envelope cause diseases such as
muscular dystrophies or accelerated aging, the consequences of mechanically induced …

Remodeling of the extracellular matrix by carcinoma cells during metastatic dissemination
requires formation of actin-based protrusions of the plasma membrane called invadopodia, …

The transition of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast carcinoma requires
tumor cells to cross the basement membrane (BM). However, mechanisms underlying BM …

Dissemination of carcinoma cells requires the pericellular degradation of the extracellular
matrix, which is mediated by membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP). In this …

During their metastatic spread, cancer cells need to remodel the extracellular matrix in order
to migrate through stromal compartments adjacent to the primary tumor. Dissemination of …

Because they have moving parts, or because they need to work in a specific atmosphere (vacuum,
inert gas,...), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are not compatible with …

Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related deaths. How a single oncogenic cell evolves
within highly organized epithelium is still unknown. Here, we found that the overexpression …

The BAW (Bulk acoustic Wave) RF filters that are used in mobile phone application are
composed of pair of piezo electrical resonators which need an air gap above them to operate. …

Fibroblasts are important players in regulating tissue homeostasis. In the dermis, they are
involved in wound healing where they differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts leading to …
