Séminaire PMMH - Avin Babataheri (Ladhyx)
1D confinement controls cell shape and migration
Pericytes are mural cells of the microvasculature, they wrap around small vessels, support the vessels mechanically and participate in blood flow regulation.
Pericytes are distinguished by two main characteristics ; first their distinct morphology, which has been likened to a “bump on a log”, as they present long processes spanning along the axis of the vessels they adhere to, and a protruding soma that houses the nucleus. The second characteristic is their distribution along the microvascular tree in a cellular chain where each cell occupies its own territory. This spatial distribution is established by cell migration during the embryonic stage and maintained through controlled motility in the adult.
Because of their position in the microvascular tree, pericytes experience extreme lateral and longitudinal confinement, we hypothesize that the confinement impacts their morphology. Although pericyte shape is key for their function during vascular regulation, the manner in which pericyte morphology is associated with migration and function remains unknown.
In this project, we use micropatterns to mimic pericyte adhesion to microvessels, we show that lateral confinement controls cell shape and produces in vivo-like phenotypes. We study pericyte migration on both laterally confining lanes, and longitudinally constraining motifs and propose a model that describes their kinetics as a stochastic motion with dry friction.
In vivo pericytes can bridge nearby capillaries, we show that in vitro pericytes are also capable of crossing gaps of different sizes. The percentage of crossings is correctly predicted by the likelihood of a fluctuating system to overcome an energy barrier. Our joint experimental and theoretical approach demonstrates the effect of in vivo-like geometrical confinement on pericyte morphology and migration.

Monitoring atmospheric fossil fuel emissions using radiocarbon and global atmospheric simulations with a transport and inverse modeling system
Independent monitoring and apportioning of CO2 emissions is crucial for the verification of greenhouse gas reductions targeted by international agreements designed for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Radiocarbon (14C), found as a fractional isotope of CO2, can be used as a key tracer for fossil-derived (...) -

Rheology of sticky grains
In many powder technology processes, coating is applied to fine particles to control their properties or functionalize them. We investigated the role of a polymer coating made of PBS on silica beads. This material has been originally designed as a model cohesive granular material, whose cohesion can be finely (...) -

Instructions générales pour les conférenciers
Le public du séminaire est très hétérogène (rien qu’au PMMH nous travaillons sur des thématiques très diverses, mécanique des fluides, des milieux granulaires, des solides, physique statistique, physique du mouillage, micro-fluidique, biophysique,...) l’objectif est donc de ne pas faire un séminaire trop spécialiste : au moins la première moitié du séminaire à un niveau accessible pour celui qui ne connaît rien sur le sujet.
Le séminaire a lieu à 11h. rendez-vous 15 minutes avant pour installer et tester la projection.
Le séminaire dure environ 45 minutes pour laisser un peu de temps pour discuter à la fin.
