A Macroscopic Mathematical Model For Cell Migration Assays Using A Real-Time Cell Analysis [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(9): e0162553, 2016, 2016 Experiments of cell migration and chemotaxis assays have been classically performed in the so-called Boyden Chambers. A recent technology, xCELLigence Real Time Cell Analysis, is now allowing to monitor the cell migration in real time. This technology measures impedance changes caused by the gradual increase of electrode surface occupation by cells ...

A Martini coarse-grained model of the calcein fluorescent dye [PDF]
, 2019 Calcein leakage assays are a standard experimental set-up for probing the extent of damage induced by external agents on synthetic lipid vesicles. The fluorescence signal associated with calcein release from liposomes is the signature of vesicle disruption, transient pore formation or vesicle fusion.

Next-generation MRD assays: do we have the tools to evaluate them properly? [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) detection of molecular residual disease (MRD) in solid tumours correlates strongly with patient outcomes and is being adopted as a new clinical standard. ctDNA levels are known to correlate with tumor volume, and although the absolute levels vary across indication and histology, its analysis is driving the adoption of MRD.

A critical survey on the kinetic assays of DNA polymerase fidelity from a new theoretical perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The high fidelity of DNA polymerase is critical for the faithful replication of genomic DNA. Several approaches were proposed to quantify the fidelity of DNA polymerase. Direct measurements of the error frequency of the replication products definitely give the true fidelity but turn out very hard to implement.

Remote Cell Growth Sensing Using Self-Sustained Bio-Oscillations [PDF]
, 2018 A smart sensor system for cell culture real-time supervision is proposed, allowing for a significant reduction in human effort applied to this type of assay. The approach converts the cell culture under test into a suitable “biological” oscillator.
