The human knee joint is the largest and most complex joint of the human body. The interdependencies encountered in the musculoskeletal system are crucial in understanding musculoskeletal conditions. Patient-specific models are promising methods to unravel clinical diagnosis. However, as the range of medical and experimental data is expanding, it has become a challenge to integrate…

We propose the extraction of musculoskeletal structures (bones, muscles) from the lower limb, following three main objectives: development of an MRI protocol, processing and labelling of the image data, and the exploitation of multi-channel data during the segmentation of individual muscles. We propose an MR acquisition protocol that generates seamless, high-resolution images of…

Les inventions revendiquant des cellules souches sont exclues de la brevetabilité en Suisse du fait de l’utilisation (et la destruction) d’embryons et de parthénotes. La présente contribution examinera si, au regard des récents développements scientifiques et de la jurisprudence européenne ICS (C-364/13), l’exclusion suisse de brevetabilité de ces inventions est toujours pertinente…
