      <content>Etienne is one of our designers. He studies at the ENSCI-les Ateliers in Paris. He is always wearing black and fluorescent colors, which is very convenient because you can’t miss him. He is also a big music fan, and has special skills in rock’n’roll dance (very impressive!). As you can imagine, he is one of our funniest team members, you are never bored with him. But he is as funny as he is a hard worker, and we can always count on his help. </br> <i>By Emma</i></content>

      <content> Calm, determined, attentive and engaged: that’s how we see Alice. This young Parisian born in Marseille is currently studying at the prestigious school Chimie Paristech. Talented and always smiling she was one of the leaders of the Parisian meet up organisation and she also attended the Mediterranean meet up in Marseille. Her scientific experience made her show great involvement and perseverance in the lab while doing the modeling of the project. She is part of the 23 strong links of the team iGEM Paris Pasteur 2018. </br><i> By Florian</i></content>

<p>The aim of our mathematical model is to simulate the growth of neurons towards our biofilm in response of the presence of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Nerve growth factor is one of a group of small proteins called neurotrophins that are re-sponsible for the development of new neurons, and for the health and maintenance of mature ones. We created a determin-istic model to help the wetlab establish the optimal concen-tration gradients of NGF needed for the regrowth of the nerves. NGF concentration and concentration gradient are key parameters affecting the growth rate and direction of neu-rites. Neurites growth have shown to be NGF dose-dependent: if NGF concentration si too low or too high, the growth rate is attenuated. In order to visualize the results of the model on a microfluidic chip we used MATLAB, App Designer, Python, Gmsh and FreeFem. This is an important part of our project since it creates the link between the wetlab and drylab. </p>

<h1>Context of our model</h1>

</div>

<div class="block half">

<p>Our project aims at creating a biofilm composed of genetically modified <i>E. coli</i> able to release a neurotrophic factor: NGF. It helps to accelerate the connection between the neurons and the implant of the prothesis; hence aiming at connecting directly the prothesis amputee’s neurons. This will enable the patient to have a more instinctive control of his prothesis device. The nerves will be guided towards a conductive membrane surrounding our genetically modified biofilm. This membrane will then pass the neural signal of the regenerated nerves towards the electronic chip of the implant through wires.  It will allow the patient to have a more instinctive and natural control than any other current prosthesis, and a reduced reeducation time.</p>

<p>The aim of the wetllab is to test the biofilm on a microfluidic chip as a proof of concept. The chip is composed of two compartments: one made of the E. coli genetically modified to produce NGF and the other one of neurons. Micro canals link the two compartments in the middle of the chip, allowing the diffusion of NGF and the growth of the neurites. Our model will hence be established on a micro-fluidic chip shape in order to share our results with the wetlab and indicate them the optimal concentration of NGF needed according to their model.</p>

She is also the key to keeping calm and focused the other two designers, who are more extroverted. Yet, she still loves to make movie references and silly jokes. In the team, she works very hard to create amazing graphics and she co-developed our final 3D-printed interface. It wouldn’t be an easy task to count the hours she spent on Rhino software to achieve her great results. </br> <i>By Jonathan</i></content>

<h3>Fick’s diffusion law </h3>
 
−
<p>To simulate NGF diffusion in the microfluidic chip we consider a unidimensional conduit of axe x and a constant concentration of NGF introduced at one end of the canals. In this part, diffusion is assumed to be the only mechanism producing the gradient decay in the micro canals. We can model the diffusion characteristics of NGF with Fick’s second law of diffusion:<br>

<p>Indeed, in the same material, the rate transfer of the diffusing NGF through the cross section of the micro canal is proportional to the concentration gradient normal to the cross section. It is assumed that the leakage of NGF at both ends of the micro canal is negligible because there should be little NGF at the ends the micro canals compared to the total amount of NGF and second because of a low NGF diffusion rate.

The equation (1) can be solved with Euler’s method and we find the NGF concentration gradient at the position x and time t. The MatLab code is the following:</p>

<p>The higher the diffusion coefficient, the faster the molecules will diffuse in the conduit. Indeed, we observe in the model that with a fixed t_final:<br>
 
−
<ol style="text-align: left; list-style-type: disc;">
 
−
<li>NGF concentration at x=0.1 cm is 675 000 ng.ml<SUP>-1</SUP> for a diffusion coefficient C<SUB>diff</SUB> = 15*10<SUP>-7</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP>.s<SUP>-1</SUP></li>
 
−
<li>For a diffusion coefficient two times lower, the NGF concentration is 380 ng.ml<SUP>1</SUP></li>
 
−
</ol>
 
−
</p>
 
−
<p>The results confirm the prediction of the Fick’s law model. </p>
 
−
</div>
 
−
<div class="block full">
 
−
<p>When the time length of the experiment lasts from 1 hour to 2 hours, the concentration of NGF is almost homogeneous in the entire conduit. At the end of the conduit, for x= 0.1 cm, the concentration of NGF equals to 910 ng.ml-1 when t_final= 7 200s whereas the concentration is 3 900 ng.ml<SUP>-1</SUP> when t_final=3 600s. </p>
 
−
<p>It is interesting to observe that when the duration of the experiment increases, the stationary regime is established: the NGF concentration in the conduit becomes independent of the position and time. Indeed, the concentation gradient of NGF in the conduit moves toward 0 for any position. </p>

<h5 style="text-align: left">Baseline growth rate: </h5>
 
−
<p>In our mathematical model, neurites grow at a constant growth rate defined as the baseline growth rate G0  when the concentration is below the threshold (assumed to be 995 ng.mL<SUP>-1</SUP>). Neurites stop growing when the NGF concentration is higher than the threshold concentration. The value for the baseline growth rate G0 has been fixed at 20 <FONT face="Raleway">&mu;</FONT>m.h<SUP>-1</SUP> for this model. </p>
 
−
<h5 style="text-align: left">Concentration Gradient:</h5>
 
−
<p>The extent of directional guidance is gradient steepness-dependent provided that the concentration gradient reaches the threshold value. The gradient factor k is a gradient steepness-dependent positive effect on the neurite growth rate. </p>
 
−
<p>In this model we assume that the baseline growth rate and the growth rate in the presence of concentration gradient follow an additive rule. This can be explained by the fact that both the NGF concentration and the its gradient can both individually contribute to neurite extension. The equation governing neurite outgrowth thus becomes:<br><br>
