Information Theory in Transmembrane Transport

The past decades have seen the advent of information theory in various fields, from quantum physics to cosmology. At an intermediary scale between atomic and cosmological scales are biological systems and in particular the cell, as a constitutive element o ...

Ionic Liquid Gating of SrTiO3 Lamellas Fabricated with a Focused Ion Beam

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Amelia Emily-Kay Estry

In this work, we combine two previously incompatible techniques for defining electronic devices: shaping three-dimensional crystals by focused ion beam (FIB), and two-dimensional electrostatic accumulation of charge carriers. The principal challenge for th ...

Water as a contrast agent for imaging interfacial structure and ion transport in giant vesicles

David Roesel

Hydrated lipid bilayer membranes and their asymmetry play a fundamental role in living cells by maintaining and regulating concentration gradients between cells, their environment, and their compartments. They achieve this not only through various channels ...

Passive and active ion permeation through lipid bilayers investigated by second harmonic water imaging

Maksim Eremchev

Lipid membranes are complex and dynamic systems which are known to mediate signaling processes between cells and their environment. To do this multiple ion channels and pumps are involved in controlling the in- and out-flux of various ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, ...

Cholesterol Hinders the Passive Uptake of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles into Fluid Lipid Membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri

Plasma membranes represent pharmacokinetic barriers for the passive transport of site-specific drugs within cells. When engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as transmembrane drug carriers, the plasma membrane composition can affect passive NP inte ...

Selectively Permeable Double Emulsions

Esther Amstad, Irvine Lian Hao Ong

Natural organisms are made of different types of microcompartments, many of which are enclosed by cell membranes. For these organisms to display a proper function, the microcompartments must be selectively permeable. For example, cell membranes are typical ...

Transcellular Pathways in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulate Changes in Solute Transport by Fluid Stress

Melody Swartz, Marco Pisano, Esra Güç, Valentina Triacca

Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...

Fixation and Permeabilization Approaches for Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy of Living Cells

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Horst Pick, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Alexandra Bondarenko, Tzu-En Lin, Petar Stupar

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has been widely used for the electrochemical imaging of dynamic topographical and metabolic changes in alive adherent mammalian cells. However, extracting intracellular information by SECM is challenging, since it ...

Selective transport control on molecular velcro made from intrinsically disordered proteins

Sylvia Jeney

The selectivity and speed of many biological transport processes(1) transpire from a 'reduction of dimensionality'(2) that confines diffusion to one or two dimensions instead of three(3). This behaviour remains highly sought after on polymeric surfaces(4) ...

Hydrophilic Nanogels : Characterization and Behavior in Biological Environment

Hydrophilic nanocarriers, formed by electrostatic interaction between their oppositely charged components, are recognized as nanomaterials with an enormous potential as vectors in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, comprehensive informati ...

Capillary electrophoresis hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry: A novel approach for the analysis of anticancer metallodrugs in human serum and plasma

Christian Hartinger, Michael Groessl

The development of metal-based chemotherapeutics lacks methods which are capable of providing early indication on the potential of new metal complexes as future anticancer drugs. Since most of these compounds are administered intravenously, serum proteins ...
