Membrane potential fluctuations have previously been detected using second harmonic (SH) water imaging on neuronal cells and model lipid bilayer membranes. We report that such fluctuations are also visible when membrane potential-sensitive fluorophores are ...
Porous media are solid structures perforated by a matrix of pores, which may let a fluid flow across them. Geometrically, we can classify them as "thin" if their thickness is comparable with the size of their pores, and "bulk" otherwise. These structures c ...
Signal transmission between neurons requires exocytosis of neurotransmitters from the lumen of synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Following an influx of Ca2+, this process is facilitated by the Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1. The underlying mechanisms ...
Nanomaterial surfaces can be engineered by chemical modifications for the modulation of various surface properties including surface charges, hydrophobicity and chemical reactivity. These properties modulate in turn the interactions between the nanomateria ...
