Although fibroblast heterogeneity is recognized in primary tumors, both its characterization and impact on metastases remain unknown. Here, combining flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry RNA-sequencing breast cancer samples, we identify four Cancer-Associated Fibroblast (CAF) subpopulations metastatic lymph nodes (LN). Two myofibroblastic subsets, CAF-S1 CAF-S4, accumulate LN correlate with cell invasion. By developing functional assays cultures, demonstrate that these subsets promote...
Abstract During tumor progression, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) accumulate in tumors and produce an excessive extracellular matrix (ECM), forming a capsule that enwraps cancer cells. This acts as barrier restricts growth leading to the buildup of intratumoral pressure. Combining genetic physical manipulations vivo with microfabrication force measurements vitro, we found CAFs is not passive but instead actively compresses cells using actomyosin contractility. Abrogation contractility...
Stem cells perceive and respond to biochemical physical signals maintain homeostasis. Yet, it remains unclear how stem sense mechanical from their niche in vivo. In this work, we investigated the roles of PIEZO mechanosensitive channels intestinal cell (ISC) niche. We used mouse genetics single-cell RNA sequencing analysis assess requirement for ISC maintenance. vivo measurement basement membrane stiffness showed that ISCs reside a more rigid microenvironment at bottom crypt....
A major challenge in cancer research is the complexity of tumor microenvironment, which includes host immunological setting. Inspired by emerging technology organ-on-chip, we achieved 3D co-cultures microfluidic devices (integrating four cell populations: cancer, immune, endothelial, and fibroblasts) to reconstitute ex vivo a human ecosystem (HER2+ breast cancer). We visualized quantified complex dynamics this tumor-on-chip, absence or presence drug trastuzumab (Herceptin), targeted antibody...
There is a compelling need for approaches to predict the efficacy of immunotherapy drugs. Tumor-on-chip technology exploits microfluidics generate 3D cell co-cultures embedded in hydrogels that recapitulate simplified tumor ecosystems. Here, we present development and validation lung tumor-on-chip platforms quickly precisely measure ex vivo effects immune checkpoint inhibitors on T cell-mediated cancer death by exploiting power live imaging advanced image analysis algorithms. The integration...
In this paper we report the combination of microfluidics, optogenetics and calcium imaging as a cheap convenient platform to study synaptic communication between neuronal populations in vitro. We first show that Calcium Orange indicator is compatible vitro with commonly used Channelrhodopsine-2 (ChR2) variant, standard conditions did not alter significantly activity transduced cultures rodent primary neurons. A fast, robust scalable process for micro-chip fabrication was developed parallel...
We report on a new gut chip combining the co-culture of primary epithelial and stromal cells in 3D biomimetic scaffold. Proper segregation dividing differentiated along crypt-villus axis was achieved these unique conditions.

Tweezing out the answer: A microfluidic device combining droplets (less than 100 nL) and magnetic particles (see scheme) was implemented for fast heterogeneous multiplexed assays. Magnetic tweezers can perform manipulations required in an immunoassay (capture, extraction, mixing, rinsing). This method applied to diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism with 14 pM sensitivity. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents peer-reviewed,...
We report on the development of a simple and easy to use microchip dedicated allergy diagnosis. This combines both advantages homogeneous immunoassays i.e. species diffusion heterogeneous separation preconcentration steps. In vitro diagnosis is based specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) quantitation, in that way we have developed integrated magnetic core-shell nanoparticles (MCSNPs) as an IgE capture nanoplatform microdevice taking benefit from their colloidal properties. Integrating such...
Abstract The development of precision medicine, together with the multiplication targeted therapies and associated molecular biomarkers, call for major progress in genetic analysis methods, allowing increased multiplexing implementation more complex decision trees, without cost increase or loss robustness.

An adhesive-based strategy for the low-cost and reversible sealing of a wide range materials used in microfluidics, requiring only application manually-achievable pressures.
Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) connect distant cells and mediate cargo transfer for intercellular communication in physiological pathological contexts. How generate these actin-mediated protrusions to span lengths beyond those attainable by canonical filopodia remains unknown. Through a combination of micropatterning, microscopy, optical tweezer-based approaches, we demonstrate that TNTs formed through the outward extension actin achieve distances greater than mean length branched...
In this work, we propose a novel strategy for the fabrication of flexible thermoplastic microdevices entirely based on lamination processes. The same low-cost laminator apparatus can be used from master to microchannel sealing. This process is appropriate rapid prototyping at laboratory scale, but it also easily upscaled industrial manufacturing. For demonstration, here Cycloolefin Copolymer (COC), polymer that extensively microfluidic applications. COC with good chemical resistance common...
