Rethinking protein aggregation and drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases: Why we need to embrace complexity?

More than a century has passed since pathological protein aggregates were first identified in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Yet, we still do not have effective therapies to treat or slow the progression of these devastating ...

Involvement of the M-CSF/IL-34/CSF-1R pathway in malignant pleural mesothelioma

Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer related to asbestos exposure. The tumor microenvironment content, particularly the presence of macrophages, was described as crucial for the development of the disease. This wo ...

Microfluidics-assisted multiplexed biomarker detection for in situ mapping of immune cells in tumor sections

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Benjamin Pelz

Because of the close interaction between tumors and the immune system, immunotherapies are nowadays considered as the most promising treatment against cancer. In order to define the diagnosis and the subsequent therapy, crucial information about the immune ...

Combining fluorescence-based image segmentation and automated microfluidics for ultrafast cell-by-cell assessment of biomarkers for HER2-type breast carcinoma

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Huu Tuan Nguyen

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is one of the main clinical techniques for biomarker assessment on tissue biopsies. It consists in chromogenic labeling with specific antibodies, followed by optical imaging, and it is used for diagnosis and therapeutic targeting ...

Microfluidics-based immunofluorescence for fast staining of ALK in lung adenocarcinoma

Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Benjamin Pelz, Saska Brajkovic

BackgroundAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a key oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma patients and its fusion proteins are routinely assessed. The microfluidic tissue processor (MTP) device is based on a chip-confined low-volume technology allowing f ...

Microfluidics for rapid cytokeratin immunohistochemical staining in frozen sections

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Saska Brajkovic

Frozen sections (FS) of tumor samples represent a cornerstone of pathological intraoperative consultation and have an important role in the microscopic analysis of specimens during surgery. So far, immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings on FS have been demons ...

Microfluidic staining technology and automated image processing for fast and accurate tissue-based diagnostics

Diego Gabriel Dupouy

The development of microfluidics has led to significant improvements in many areas of in vitro diagnostics. This thesis proposes the use of microfluidic device technology in the field of anatomic pathology, leading to faster and more accurate tissue-based ...

Continuous quantification of HER2 expression by microfluidic precision immunofluorescence estimates HER2 gene amplification in breast cancer

Martinus Gijs, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Maryse Fiche, Déborah Heintze

Chromogenic immunohistochemistry (IHC) is omnipresent in cancer diagnosis, but has also been criticized for its technical limit in quantifying the level of protein expression on tissue sections, thus potentially masking clinically relevant data. Shifting f ...

Blue-violet excited autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging of normal and cancerous human bronchial tissue after formalin fixation

Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

Autofluorescence (AF) imaging is a powerful tool for the detection of (pre-)neoplastic lesions in the bronchi. Several endoscopic imaging systems exploit the spectral and intensity contrast of AF between healthy and (pre-)neoplastic bronchial tissues, yet, ...
