Journal ArticleDOI
Whole lifespan microscopic observation of budding yeast aging through a microfluidic dissection platform
Sung Sik Lee,Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Daphne H. E. W. Huberts,Luke P. Lee,Luke P. Lee,Matthias Heinemann +5 more
TL;DR: This work is unique in achieving continuous and high-resolution microscopic imaging of the entire replicative lifespan of single yeast cells and envision the microfluidic dissection platform to become a major tool in aging research.
Journal ArticleDOI
ON/OFF and Beyond - A Boolean Model of Apoptosis
Rebekka Schlatter,Kathrin Schmich,Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Peter Scheurich,Thomas Sauter,Christoph Borner,Michael Ederer,Michael Ederer,Irmgard Merfort,Oliver Sawodny +10 more
TL;DR: A large-scale literature-based Boolean model of the central intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways as well as pathways connected with them is built and gives new insights into the complex interplay of pro- and antiapoptotic factors and can be easily expanded to other signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bistable expression of virulence genes in salmonella leads to the formation of an antibiotic-tolerant subpopulation.
Markus Arnoldini,Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Rafael Peña-Miller,Nicolas Stocker,Médéric Diard,Viola Vogel,Robert E. Beardmore,Wolf-Dietrich Hardt,Martin Ackermann +8 more
TL;DR: The bistable expression of virulence genes in Salmonella allows a clonal population to hedge its bets: one subpopulation suffers a growth cost, but is tolerant to antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
How type 1 fimbriae help Escherichia coli to evade extracellular antibiotics.
Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Vahid Hosseini,Philip Kollmannsberger,Stefanie Meier,Stefan S. Weber,Markus Arnoldini,Markus Arnoldini,Markus Arnoldini,Martin Ackermann,Martin Ackermann,Viola Vogel +10 more
TL;DR: Combined gentamicin survival assays, flow cytometry, single cell microscopy and kinetic modeling of dose response curves showed that type 1 fimbriae increased the adhesion and internalization by macrophages, promoting antibiotic evasion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction and use of a microfluidic dissection platform for long-term imaging of cellular processes in budding yeast.
Daphne H. E. W. Huberts,Sung Sik Lee,Javier Gonzáles,Georges E. Janssens,Ima Avalos Vizcarra,Matthias Heinemann +5 more
TL;DR: This protocol describes the production and operation of a microfluidic dissection platform for long-term, high-resolution imaging of budding yeast cells, an array of micropads that trap yeast cells in a single focal plane.
