The Immunoarchitecture of Human Extraocular Muscles KU Leuven
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the immunoarchitecture of normal extraocular muscles (EOMs) in terms of presence, distribution, and organization of various immune cells. METHODS: We performed unilateral orbital exenterations in six fresh human cadavers from elderly patients, followed by dissection of the medial, lateral, superior and inferior rectus, superior and inferior oblique, and superior palpebral levator muscle in their ...
Ionically Modified Gelatin Hydrogels Maintain Murine Myogenic Cell Viability and Fusion Capacity KU Leuven
For tissue engineering of skeletal muscles, there is a need for biomaterials which do not only allow cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, but also support the physiological conditions of the tissue. Next to the chemical nature and structure of the biomaterial, its response to the application of biophysical stimuli, such as mechanical deformation or application of electrical pulses, can impact in vitro tissue culture. In this ...

CRAPPY goes embedded: Including low-cost hardware in experimental setups KU Leuven
In a previous publication, we presented CRAPPY, a Python module designed for researchers wishing to easily develop code for driving complex experimental setups. In a complemented version, now targeting a broader audience, we extended the framework to include low-cost sensors, actuators, and cameras. Using such devices, it is now possible to set up tests with CRAPPY in a more cost-effective and flexible way. This can be achieved from embedded ...
