Thermal gate, a new tool for ionic transport control inside nanochannels

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mojtaba Taghipoor

Transport of ionic species solvated in electrolytes depends on temperature. This dependence is much stronger in nanofluidics than large scale since the surface charge also varies with temperature. In this work, we introduce a new tool for the modulation of ...

Investigation of the thermal effects in nanofluidic transport and their application in gating

Mojtaba Taghipoor

Scaling down to nanometer size fluidic conduits has opened a new window into the world of sensing and manipulation of nanoscale species. Thousands of publications and hundreds of patents in this field are only a starting point for exploring and manipulatin ...

Na-ion dynamics in Quasi-1D compound NaV2O4

Martin Mansson

We have used the pulsed muon source at ISIS to study high-temperature Na-ion dynamics in the quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) metallic antiferromagnet NaV2O4. By performing systematic zero-field and longitudinal-field measurements as a function of temperature w ...

X-ray structure of the mouse serotonin 5-HT3 receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Rudolf Hovius, Cédric Deluz, Ghérici Hassaïne, Romain Wyss, Luigino Grasso, Menno Berend Tol

Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels of the Cys-loop receptor family mediate fast neurotransmission throughout the nervous system. The molecular processes of neurotransmitter binding, subsequent opening of the ion channel and ion permeation remain poorly un ...

Intercellular ultrafast calcium wave in vascular smooth muscle cells

Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Communication between vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) allows control of their contraction and so regulation of blood flow. The contractile state of SMCs is controled by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) which propagates as Ca2+ waves over a signif ...

Shared electrophysiology mechanisms of body ownership and motor imagery

Olaf Blanke, Nathaniel Evans

Although we feel, see, and experience our hands as our own (body or hand ownership), recent research has shown that illusory hand ownership can be induced for fake or virtual hands and may useful for neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. Despite ...

Simultaneous Optical Recording in Multiple Cells by Digital Holographic Microscopy of Chloride Current Associated to Activation of the Ligand-Gated Chloride Channel GABA(A) Receptor

Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz, Daniel Boss, Pascal Jourdain

Chloride channels represent a group of targets for major clinical indications. However, molecular screening for chloride channel modulators has proven to be difficult and time-consuming as approaches essentially rely on the use of fluorescent dyes or invas ...
