Abstract
Current cell-based strategies for repairing damaged tissue often show limited efficacy due to low cell retention at the site of injury. Encapsulation of cells within hydrogel microcapsules demonstrably increases cell retention but benefits can be limited due to premature cell escape from the hydrogel microcapsules and subsequent clearance from the targeted tissue. We propose a method of encapsulating cells in agarose microcapsules that have been modified to increase cell retention by providing cell attachment domains within the agarose hydrogel allowing cells to adhere to the microcapsules. We covalently modified agarose with the addition of the cell adhesion peptide, RGD (arginine, glycine, aspartic acid). We then used a microfluidic platform to encapsulate single cells within 50 µm agarose microcapsules. We tracked encapsulated cells for cell viability, egress from microcapsules and attachment to microcapsules at 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h after encapsulation. Many encapsulated cells eventually egress their microcapsule. Those that were encapsulated using RGD-modified agarose adhered to the outer surface of the microcapsule following egress. NIH 3T3 cells showed nearly 45% of egressed cells attached to the outside of RGD modified agarose microcapsules, while minimal cellular adhesion was observed when using unmodified agarose. Similarly, HUVECs had up to 33% of egressed cells attached and EDCs (explant-derived cardiac stem cells) showed up to 20% attachment with the presence of RGD binding domains within the agarose microcapsules.

Abstract
Developing methods to study tissue mechanics and myofibroblast activation may lead to new targets for therapeutic treatments that are urgently needed for fibrotic disease. Microtissue arrays are a promising approach to conduct relatively high-throughput research into fibrosis as they recapitulate key biomechanical aspects of the disease through a relevant 3D extracellular environment. In early work, our group developed a device called the MVAS-force to stretch microtissues while enabling simultaneous assessment of their dynamic mechanical behavior. Here, we investigated TGF-β1-induced fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation in microtissue cultures using our MVAS-force device through assessing α-SMA expression, contractility and stiffness. In doing so, we linked cell-level phenotypic changes to functional changes that characterize the clinical manifestation of fibrotic disease. As expected, TGF-β1 treatment promoted a myofibroblastic phenotype and microtissues became stiffer and possessed increased contractility. These changes were partially reversible upon TGF-β1 withdrawal under a static condition, while, in contrast, long-term cyclic stretching maintained myofibroblast activation. This pro-fibrotic effect of mechanical stretching was absent when TGF-β1 receptors were inhibited. Furthermore, stretching promoted myofibroblast differentiation when microtissues were given latent TGF-β1. Altogether, these results suggest that external mechanical stretch may activate latent TGF-β1 and, accordingly, might be a powerful stimulus for continued myofibroblast activation to progress fibrosis. Further exploration of this pathway with our approach may yield new insights into myofibroblast activation and more effective therapeutic treatments for fibrosis.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does the immune response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine involve the ovarian follicle, and does it affect its function? SUMMARY ANSWER We were able to demonstrate anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV-2) IgG in follicular fluid (FF) from both infected and vaccinated IVF patients, with no evidence for compromised follicular function. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY No research data are available yet. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This is a cohort study, composed of 32 consecutive IVF patients, either infected with COVID-19, vaccinated or non-exposed, conducted between 1 February and 10 March 2021 in a single university hospital-based IVF clinic. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS A consecutive sample of female consenting patients undergoing oocyte retrieval was recruited and assigned to one of the three study groups: recovering from confirmed COVID-19 (n = 9); vaccinated (n = 9); and uninfected, non-vaccinated controls (n = 14). Serum and FF samples were taken and analyzed for anti-COVID IgG as well as estrogen, progesterone and heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 concentration, as well as the number and maturity of aspirated oocytes and day of trigger estrogen and progesterone measurements. Main outcome measures were follicular function, including steroidogenesis, follicular response to the LH/hCG trigger, and oocyte quality biomarkers. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Both COVID-19 and the vaccine elicited anti-COVID IgG antibodies that were detected in the FF at levels proportional to the IgG serum concentration. No differences between the three groups were detected in any of the surrogate parameters for ovarian follicle quality. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This is a small study, comprising a mixed fertile and infertile population, and its conclusions should be supported and validated by larger studies. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS This is the first study to examine the impact of SARS–Cov-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination on ovarian function and these early findings suggest no measurable detrimental effect on function of the ovarian follicle. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) The study was funded out of an internal budget. There are no conflicts of interest for any of the authors. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CinicalTrials.gov registry number NCT04822012.

Abstract
Characterizing the time-dependent mechanical properties of cells is not only necessary to determine how they deform but also to understand how external forces trigger biochemical-signaling cascades to govern their behavior. At present, mechanical properties are largely assessed by applying local shear or compressive forces on single cells grown in isolation on non-physiological 2D surfaces. In comparison, we developed the microfabricated vacuum actuated stretcher to measure tensile loading of 3D multicellular “microtissue” cultures. Using this approach, we here assessed the time-dependent stress relaxation and recovery responses of microtissues and quantified the spatial viscoelastic deformation following step length changes. Unlike previous results, stress relaxation and recovery in microtissues measured over a range of step amplitudes and pharmacological treatments followed an augmented stretched exponential behavior describing a broad distribution of inter-related timescales. Furthermore, despite the variety of experimental conditions, all responses led to a single linear relationship between the residual elastic stress and the degree of stress relaxation, suggesting that these mechanical properties are coupled through interactions between structural elements and the association of cells with their matrix. Finally, although stress relaxation could be quantitatively and spatially linked to recovery, they differed greatly in their dynamics; while stress recovery acted as a linear process, relaxation time constants changed with an inverse power law with the step size. This assessment of microtissues offers insights into how the collective behavior of cells in a 3D collagen matrix generates the dynamic mechanical properties of tissues, which is necessary to understand how cells deform and sense mechanical forces in vivo.

Abstract
Assays targeting biomarkers for the early diagnosis of disease demand a sensing platform with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity. In this work, we developed and characterized a solid-state nanopore-based sensing assay for the detection of short nucleic acid targets with readily customizable nanostructured DNA probe sets. We explored the electrical signatures of three DNA nanostructures to determine their performance as probe sets in a digital counting scheme to quantify the concentration of targets. With these probes, we demonstrate the specific, simultaneous detection of two different DNA targets in a 2-plex assay, and separately that of microRNA-155, a biomarker linked to various human cancers. In addition to specific target detection, our scheme demonstrated the ability to quantify at least six different microRNA concentrations. These results highlight the potential for solid-state nanopores as single-molecule counters for future digital diagnostic technologies.

Abstract
While encapsulation of cells within protective nanoporous gel cocoons increases cell retention and pro-survival integrin signaling, the influence of cocoon size and intra-capsular cell-cell interactions on therapeutic repair are unknown. Here, we employ a microfluidic platform to dissect the impact of cocoon size and intracapsular cell number on the regenerative potential of transplanted heart explant-derived cells. Deterministic increases in cocoon size boosted the proportion of multicellular aggregates within cocoons, reduced vascular clearance of transplanted cells and enhanced stimulation of endogenous repair. The latter being attributable to cell-cell stimulation of cytokine and extracellular vesicle production while also broadening of the miRNA cargo within extracellular vesicles. Thus, by tuning cocoon size and cell occupancy, the paracrine signature and retention of transplanted cells can be enhanced to promote paracrine stimulation of endogenous tissue repair.

Abstract
Sensing performance of solid-state nanopores is limited by the fast kinetics of small molecular targets. To address this challenge, we translate the presence of a small target to a large conformational change of a long polymer. In this work, we explore the performance of solid-state nanopores for sensing the conformational states of molecular nanoswitches assembled using the principles of DNA origami. These programmable single-molecule switches show great potential in molecular diagnostics and long-term information storage. We investigate the translocation properties of linear and looped nanoswitch topologies using nanopores fabricated in thin membranes, ultimately comparing the performance of our nanopore platform for detecting the presence of a DNA analogue to a sequence found in a Zika virus biomarker gene with that of conventional gel electrophoresis. We found that our system provides a high-throughput method for quantifying several target concentrations within an order of magnitude by sensing only several hundred molecules using electronics of moderate bandwidth that are conventionally used in nanopore sensing systems.

Abstract
Coronary bifurcations are involved in 15-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and remain one of the most challenging lesions in interventional cardiology in terms of procedural success rate as well as long-term cardiac events. The optimal management of bifurcation lesions is still debated but involves careful assessment, planning and a sequential provisional approach. The preferential strategy for PCI of bifurcation lesions remains to use main vessel (MV) stenting with a proximal optimisation technique (POT) and provisional side branch (SB) stenting as a preferred approach. Final kissing balloon inflation is not recommended in all cases. In the minority of lesions where two stents are required, careful deployment and optimal expansion are essential to achieve a long-term result. Intracoronary imaging techniques (IVUS, OCT) and FFR are useful endovascular tools to achieve optimal results.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that cocooning heart explant-derived cells (EDCs) within protective nanoporous gel capsules before intra-myocardial injection increases the retention of transplanted cells and the paracrine production of nanoparticles to improve post infarct cardiac function. In this study, we investigated the influence of cocoon size and intracapsular cell number on cell-treatment outcomes using a newly developed microfluidic-based (MF) cellular cocooning platform.
Methods/Results:
Traditional vortex-based encapsulation (Vx) inherently provides cocoons of varying diameters (30-100 μm; 68±5 μm). By altering the flow pressure ratios and the nozzle diameters within the MF chip, we encapsulated human EDCs within small (51±1 μm, MF50) and large (90±1 μm, MF90) diameter nanoporous gel cocoons for comparison with standard Vx-defined capsules (71±1 μm, MF70). MF cocooning mirrored the expected Poisson distribution with smaller cocoons having a greater proportion of single cells while larger diameter cocoons contained greater proportions of multicellular aggregates. Immunodeficient mice underwent left coronary artery ligation 1 week before randomization to echocardiographic guided intra-myocardial injection of EDCs (suspended or variable diameter cocoons) or vehicle. Increasing cocoon diameter stimulated progressive salutary effects on post-infarct function (ejection fraction), scar burden and newly generated peri-infarct blood vessels (isolectin B4+) and cardiomyocytes (BrdU+/TNT+) 4 weeks after treatment. Bioluminescent imaging of luciferase tagged cells revealed increasing cocoon diameter reduced the rate of cell clearance from injured tissues. Disrupting cell-cell contact within the capsules (using a custom antibody cocktail to block E/P-selectin and N-cadherin) reduced the amount and profile of pro-healing cytokines + nanoparticles delivered to injured myocardium.
Conclusions:
Increasing cocoon diameter and cell occupancy within protective nanoporous gel cocoons boosts paracrine-mediated repair of damaged myocardium by slowing clearance of cells from injured tissues and the number of cytokines + nanoparticles secreted by micro-encapsulated cells.

Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have shown great regenerative potential to repair damaged tissue; however, their injection in vivo results in low retention and poor cell survival. Early clinical research has focussed on cell encapsulation to improve viability and integration of delivered cells. However, this strategy has been limited by the inability to reproduce large volumes of standardized microcapsules and the lack of information on cell-specific egress and timed release from hydrogel microcapsules. Here, we address both of these limitations. First, we use a droplet microfluidic platform to generate monodisperse agarose microcapsules, and second we encapsulate and characterize egress of therapeutically relevant cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and hMSCs). With increased temporal resolution, we demonstrate distinct differences in egress between cell types. Importantly, therapeutic cells (hMSCs) egress quickly, in <6 hr following encapsulation. Further, we examined potential escape mechanisms and showed that proliferation can be exploited by cells for microcapsule translocation. We also systematically characterized the egress of fibroblasts (as model cells) following alterations to the microcapsules. Specifically, we show that microcapsule size and hydrogel density impact cell egress efficiency. Overall, our results demonstrate the need for characterization of cell-specific egress and tuning of the cocoon microenvironment prior to delivery, for timely release and successful engraftment.

Abstract
Exposing cells to an unconventional sequence of physical cues can reveal subtleties of cellular sensing and response mechanisms. We investigated the mechanoresponse of cyclically stretched fibroblasts under a spatially non-uniform strain field which was subjected to repeated changes in stretching directions over 55 h. A polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic stretcher array optimized for complex staining procedures and imaging was developed to generate biologically relevant strain and strain gradient amplitudes. We demonstrated that cells can successfully reorient themselves repeatedly, as the main cyclical stretching direction is consecutively switched between two perpendicular directions every 11 h. Importantly, from one reorientation to the next, the extent to which cells reorient themselves perpendicularly to the local strain direction progressively decreases, while their tendency to align perpendicularly to the strain gradient direction increases. We demonstrate that these results are consistent with our finding that cellular responses to strains and strain gradients occur on two distinct time scales, the latter being slower. Overall, our results reveal the absence of major irreversible cellular changes that compromise the ability to sense and reorient to changing strain directions under the conditions of this experiment. On the other hand, we show how the history of strain field dynamics can influence the cellular realignment behavior, due to the interplay of complex time-dependent responses.

Abstract
An imaging-integrated microfluidic cell volume sensor was used to evaluate the volumetric growth rate of single cells from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae population exhibiting two phenotypic expression states of the PDR5 gene. This gene grants multidrug resistance by transcribing a membrane transporter capable of pumping out cytotoxic compounds from the cell. Utilizing fluorescent markers, single cells were isolated and trapped, then their growth rates were measured in two on-chip environments: rich media and media dosed with the antibiotic cycloheximide. Approximating growth rates to first-order, we assessed the fitness of individual cells and found that those with low PDR5 expression had higher fitness in rich media whereas cells with high PDR5 expression had higher fitness in the presence of the drug. Moreover, the drug dramatically reduced the fitness of cells with low PDR5 expression but had comparatively minimal impact on the fitness of cells with high PDR5 expression. Our experiments show the utility of this imaging-integrated microfluidic cell volume sensor for high-resolution, single-cell analysis, as well as its potential application for studies that characterize and compare the fitness and morphology of individual cells from heterogeneous populations under different growth conditions.

Abstract
The strain-induced reorientation response of cyclically stretched cells has been well characterized in uniform strain fields. In the present study, we comprehensively analyse the behaviour of human fibroblasts subjected to a highly non-uniform strain field within a polymethylsiloxane microdevice. Our results indicate that the strain gradient amplitude and direction regulate cell reorientation through a coordinated gradient avoidance response. We provide critical evidence that strain gradient is a key physical cue that can guide cell organization. Specifically, our work suggests that cells are able to pinpoint the location under the cell of multiple physical cues and integrate this information (strain and strain gradient amplitudes and directions), resulting in a coordinated response. To gain insight into the underlying mechanosensing processes, we studied focal adhesion reorganization and the effect of modulating myosin-II contractility. The extracted focal adhesion orientation distributions are similar to those obtained for the cell bodies, and their density is increased by the presence of stretching forces. Moreover, it was found that the myosin-II activity promoter calyculin-A has little effect on the cellular response, while the inhibitor blebbistatin suppresses cell and focal adhesion alignment and reduces focal adhesion density. These results confirm that similar internal structures involved in sensing and responding to strain direction and amplitude are also key players in strain gradient mechanosensing and avoidance.

Abstract
The identification of molecular tags along nucleic acid sequences has many potential applications in bionanotechnology, disease biomarker detection, and DNA sequencing. An attractive approach to this end is the use of solid-state nanopores, which can electrically detect molecular substructure and can be integrated into portable lab-on-a-chip sensors. We present here a DNA origami-based approach of molecular assembly in which solid-state nanopores are capable of differentiating 165 bp scaffolds containing zero, one, and two dsDNA protrusions. This highly scalable technique requires minimal sample preparation and is customizable for a wide range of targets and applications. As a proof-of-concept, an aptamer-based DNA displacement reaction is performed in which a dsDNA protrusion is formed along a 255 bp scaffold in the presence of ATP. While ATP is too small to be directly sensed using conventional nanopore methods, our approach allows us to detect ATP by identifying molecular substructure along the DNA scaffold.

Abstract
Immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients with decreased graft function and severe histological vascular changes can be particularly challenging. Belatacept could be a valuable option, as a rescue therapy in this context. We report a retrospective case control study comparing a CNI to belatacept switch in 17 patients with vascular damage and low eGFR to a control group of 18 matched patients with CNI continuation. Belatacept switch was performed on average 51.5 months after kidney transplantation (6.2-198 months). There was no difference between the two groups regarding eGFR at inclusion, and 3 months before inclusion. In the "CNI to belatacept switch group," mean eGFR increased significantly from 23.5 ± 6.7 mL/min/1.73m2 on day 0, to 30.4 ± 9.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 on month 6 (p < 0.001) compared to the control group, in which no improvement was observed. These results were still significant on month 12. Two patients experienced biopsy-proven acute rejection. One was effectively treated without belatacept discontinuation. Two patients needed belatacept discontinuation for infection. In conclusion, the remplacement of CNI with belatacept in patients with decreased allograft function and vascular lesions is associated with an improvement in eGFR.

Abstract
During embryogenesis, the spherical inner cell mass (ICM) proliferates in the confined environment of a blastocyst. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the ICM, and mimicking embryogenesis in vitro, mouse ESCs (mESCs) are often cultured in hanging droplets. This promotes the formation of a spheroid as the cells sediment and aggregate owing to increased physical confinement and cell-cell interactions. In contrast, mESCs form two-dimensional monolayers on flat substrates and it remains unclear if the difference in organization is owing to a lack of physical confinement or increased cell-substrate versus cell-cell interactions. Employing microfabricated substrates, we demonstrate that a single geometric degree of physical confinement on a surface can also initiate spherogenesis. Experiment and computation reveal that a balance between cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions finely controls the morphology and organization of mESC aggregates. Physical confinement is thus an important regulatory cue in the three-dimensional organization and morphogenesis of developing cells.

Abstract
Background Anticipating the time to renal replacement therapy (RRT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is an important but challenging issue. Natriuretic peptides are biomarkers of ventricular dysfunction related to poor outcome in CKD. We comparatively investigated the value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as prognostic markers for the risk of RRT in stage 4 and 5 CKD patients, and in foretelling all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events within a 5-year follow-up period. Methods Baseline plasma BNP (Triage, Biosite) and NT-proBNP (Elecsys, Roche) were measured at inclusion. Forty-three patients were followed-up during 5 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis, with log-rank testing and hazard ratios (HR), were calculated to evaluate survival without RRT, cardiovascular events or mortality. The independent prognostic value of the biomarkers was estimated in separate Cox multivariate analysis, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatininemia and comorbidities. Results During the first 12-month follow-up period, 16 patients started RRT. NT-proBNP concentration was higher in patients who reached endpoint (3221 ng/L vs 777 ng/L, p = 0.02). NT-proBNP concentration > 1345 ng/L proved significant predictive value on survival analysis for cardiovascular events (p = 0.04) and dialysis within 60 months follow-up (p = 0.008). BNP concentration > 140 ng/L was an independent predictor of RRT after 12 months follow-up (p<0.005), and of significant predictive value for initiation of dialysis within 60 months follow-up. Conclusions Our results indicate a prognostic value for BNP and NT-proBNP in predicting RRT in stage 4 and 5 CKD patients, regarding both short- and long-term periods. NT-proBNP also proved a value in predicting cardiovascular events. Natriuretic peptides could be useful predictive biomarkers for therapeutic guidance in CKD.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) the prevalence and clinical significance of anticalpastatin antibodies (ACAST), an autoantibody population previously detected in sera from patients with various connective tissue diseases. Eighty-four patients with SLE (mean age: 30 years at diagnosis, females 77) that fulfilled ACR criteria were included in the study retrospectively. Several clinical and biological data were collected. ACAST were detected by a solid-phase enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using as antigen a synthetic peptide corresponding to the 27 C-terminal amino acids of calpastatin (CAST-C27). The prevalence of ACAST-C27 was 13% (11/84) in SLE patients. No correlation was found between the presence of ACAST-C27 and clinical manifestations such as thrombosis and vasculitis. Furthermore, no correlation was observed with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APL). However, we found a statistically significant association between the presence of ACAST-C27 and that of secondary Sjögren syndrome ( P = 0.01). The conclusion is ACAST-C27 are not associated with thrombosis in SLE patients. The association observed between ACAST-C27 and secondary Sjögren syndrome suggests that ACAST-C27 might be useful in discriminating a clinical subgroup of SLE patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate association between genetic polymorphisms of GST, CYP and renal outcome or occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in lupus nephritis (LN) treated with cyclophosphamide (CYC). CYC, as a pro-drug, requires bioactivation through multiple hepatic cytochrome P450s and glutathione S transferases (GST). METHODS We carried out a multicentric retrospective study including 70 patients with proliferative LN treated with CYC. Patients were genotyped for polymorphisms of the CYP2B6, CYP2C19, GSTP1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes. Complete remission (CR) was defined as proteinuria ≤0.33g/day and serum creatinine ≤124 µmol/l. Partial remission (PR) was defined as proteinuria ≤1.5g/day with a 50% decrease of the baseline proteinuria value and serum creatinine no greater than 25% above baseline. RESULTS Most patients were women (84%) and 77% were Caucasian. The mean age at LN diagnosis was 41 ± 10 years. The frequency of patients carrying the GST null genotype GSTT1-, GSTM1-, and the Ile→105Val GSTP1 genotype were respectively 38%, 60% and 44%. In multivariate analysis, the Ile→105Val GSTP1 genotype was an independent factor of poor renal outcome (achievement of CR or PR) (OR = 5.01 95% CI [1.02-24.51]) and the sole factor that influenced occurrence of ADRs was the GSTM1 null genotype (OR = 3.34 95% CI [1.064-10.58]). No association between polymorphisms of cytochrome P450s gene and efficacy or ADRs was observed. CONCLUSION This study suggests that GST polymorphisms highly impact renal outcome and occurrence of ADRs related to CYC in LN patients.

Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection is a challenging diagnosis for clinicians in solid organ transplantation. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is so far unreported in this context. We report here the case of a renal transplant recipient who developed Mycobacterium kansasii-associated lymphadenitis complicated by IRIS while undergoing reduction of his immunosuppressive therapy. For IRIS, the patient required low-dose steroids and an increase in global immunosuppression, in association with NTM antibiotherapy.

Abstract
Background Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma are 2 different presentations of the most common B-cell neoplasm in western countries (CLL/SLL). In this disease, kidney involvement is usually silent, and is rarely reported in the literature. This study provides a clinicopathological analysis of all-cause kidney disease in CLL/SLL patients. Methods Fifteen CLL/SLL patients with kidney biopsy were identified retrospectively. Demographic, clinical, pathological and laboratory data were assessed at biopsy, and during follow-up. Results At biopsy 11 patients presented impaired renal function, 7 patients nephrotic syndrome, 6 patients dysproteinemia, and 3 patients cryoglobulinemia. Kidney pathology revealed CLL/SLL-specific monoclonal infiltrate in 10 biopsies, glomerulopathy in 9 biopsies (5 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, 2 minimal change disease, 1 glomerulonephritis with organized microtubular monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits, 1 AHL amyloidosis). Five patients presented interstitial granulomas attributed to CLL/SLL. After treatment of the hematological disease, improvement of renal function was observed in 7/11 patients, and remission of nephrotic syndrome in 5/7 patients. During follow-up, aggravation of the kidney disease systematically occurred in the absence of favorable response to hematological treatment. Conclusions A broad spectrum of kidney diseases is associated with CLL/SLL. In this setting, kidney biopsy can provide important information for diagnosis and therapeutic guidance.

Abstract
Nanopore arrays are fabricated by controlled dielectric breakdown (CBD) in solid-state membranes integrated within polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic devices. This technique enables the scalable production of independently addressable nanopores. By confining the electric field within the microfluidic architecture, nanopore fabrication is precisely localized and electrical noise is significantly reduced. Both DNA and protein molecules are detected to validate the performance of this sensing platform.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a renal hereditary disorder associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, due to mutations in polycystin-1 and polycystin-2 genes. Endothelial polycystin-deficient cells have an altered mechanosensitivity to fluid shear stress and subsequent deficit in calcium-induced nitric oxide release, prevented by dopamine receptor stimulation. However, the impact of polycystin deficiency on endothelial function in ADPKD patients is still largely unknown. Here we assessed endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation in 21 normotensive ADPKD patients and 21 healthy control subjects, during sustained (hand skin heating) and transient (postischemic hyperemia) flow stimulation. Flow-mediated dilatation was less marked in ADPKD patients than in controls during heating, but it was similar during postischemic hyperemia. There was no difference in endothelium-independent dilatation in response to glyceryl trinitrate. Local plasma nitrite, an indicator of nitric oxide availability, increased during heating in controls but not in patients. Brachial infusion of dopamine in a subset of ADPKD patients stimulated plasma nitrite increase during heating and improved flow-mediated dilatation. Thus, ADPKD patients display a loss of nitric oxide release and an associated reduction in endothelium-dependent dilatation of conduit arteries during sustained blood flow increase. The correction of these anomalies by dopamine suggests future therapeutic strategies that could reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events in ADPKD.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is due to the loss of both beta-cell insulin secretion and glucose sensing, leading to glucose variability and a lack of predictability, a daily issue for patients. Guidelines for the treatment of T1D have become stricter as results from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated the close relationship between microangiopathy and HbA1c levels. In this regard, glucometers, ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring, and subcutaneous and intraperitoneal pumps have been major developments in the management of glucose imbalance. Besides this technological approach, islet transplantation (IT) has emerged as an acceptable safe procedure with results that continue to improve. Research in the last decade of the 20th century focused on the feasibility of islet isolation and transplantation and, since 2000, the success and reproducibility of the Edmonton protocol have been proven, and the mid-term (5-year) benefit-risk ratio evaluated. Currently, a 5-year 50% rate of insulin independence can be expected, with stabilization of microangiopathy and macroangiopathy, but the possible side-effects of immunosuppressants, limited availability of islets and still limited duration of insulin independence restrict the procedure to cases of brittle diabetes in patients who are not overweight or have no associated insulin resistance. However, various prognostic factors have been identified that may extend islet graft survival and reduce the number of islet injections required; these include graft quality, autoimmunity, immunosuppressant regimen and non-specific inflammatory reactions. Finally, alternative injection sites and unlimited sources of islets are likely to make IT a routine procedure in the future.

Abstract
We demonstrate a microfluidic device capable of tracking the volume of individual cells by integrating an on-chip volume sensor with pressure-activated cell trapping capabilities. The device creates a dynamic trap by operating in feedback; a cell is periodically redirected back and forth through a microfluidic volume sensor (Coulter principle). Sieve valves are positioned on both ends of the sensing channel, creating a physical barrier which enables media to be quickly exchanged while keeping a cell firmly in place. The volume of individual Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was tracked over entire growth cycles, and the ability to quickly exchange media was demonstrated.

Abstract
Among the wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities of coronary arteries, a single coronary artery is often confused with an ectopic coronary artery connected with the contralateral coronary artery. Both abnormalities are characterized by a single coronary ostium, but they differ by the lack or not of an initial ectopic course. The prognosis of anomalous connections of coronary arteries depends mainly on the type of the initial course in relation to other cardiac structures. Therefore, the distinction between a single coronary artery and an ectopic coronary artery connected with the contralateral artery is of importance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Middle molecular weight uraemic toxins are considered to play an important role in vascular dysfunction and cardiovascular outcomes in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Recent dialysis techniques based on convection, specifically high-efficiency on-line haemodiafiltration (HDF), enhance the removal of middle molecular weight toxins and reduce all-cause mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the mechanisms of these improved outcomes remain to be established. METHODS This prospective study randomly assigned 42 ESRD patients to switch from high-flux HD to high-efficiency on-line HDF (n=22) or to continue HD (n=20). Brachial artery endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation, central pulse pressure, carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), internal diastolic diameter and distensibility and circulating markers of uraemia, inflammation and oxidative stress were blindly assessed before and after a 4-month follow-up. RESULTS Brachial flow-mediated dilatation and carotid artery distensibility increased significantly in the HDF group compared with HD, while carotid IMT and diameter remained similar. HDF decreased predialysis levels of the uraemic toxins β2-microglobulin, phosphate and blood TNFα mRNA expression. Oxidative stress markers were not different between the HD and HDF groups. Blood mRNA expression of protein kinase C β2, an endothelial NO-synthase (eNOS) inhibitor, decreased significantly with HDF. CONCLUSIONS High-efficiency on-line HDF prevents the endothelial dysfunction and stiffening of the conduit arteries in ESRD patients compared with high-flux HD. HDF decreases uraemic toxins, vascular inflammation, and is associated with subsequent improvement in eNOS functionality. These results suggest that reduced endothelial dysfunction may be an intermediate mechanism explaining the beneficial outcomes associated with HDF.

Abstract
Solid-state nanopores have emerged as a versatile tool for the characterization of single biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins1. However, the creation of a nanopore in a thin insulating membrane remains challenging. Fabrication methods involving specialized focused electron beam systems can produce well-defined nanopores, but yield of reliable and low-noise nanopores in commercially available membranes remains low2,3 and size control is nontrivial4,5. Here, the application of high electric fields to fine-tune the size of the nanopore while ensuring optimal low-noise performance is demonstrated. These short pulses of high electric field are used to produce a pristine electrical signal and allow for enlarging of nanopores with subnanometer precision upon prolonged exposure. This method is performed in situ in an aqueous environment using standard laboratory equipment, improving the yield and reproducibility of solid-state nanopore fabrication.

Abstract
A multi-layered polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device with an integrated suspended membrane has been fabricated that allows dynamic and multi-axial mechanical deformation and simultaneous live-cell microscopy imaging. The transparent membrane’s strain field can be controlled independently along two orthogonal directions. Human foreskin fibroblasts were immobilized on the membrane’s surface and stretched along two orthogonal directions sequentially while performing live-cell imaging. Cyclic deformation of the cells induced a reversible reorientation perpendicular to the direction of the applied strain. Cells remained viable in the microdevice for several days. As opposed to existing microfluidic or macroscale stretching devices, this device can impose changing, anisotropic and time-varying strain fields in order to more closely mimic the complexities of strains occurring in vivo.
