A thorough, accessible, and general overview of chemosensors Providing a comprehensive
overview of chemosensors organic molecules designed to bind and sense small molecules …

Signaling pathways allow cells to detect and respond to a wide variety of chemical (eg Ca2+
or chemokine proteins) and physical stimuli (eg, sheer stress, light). Together, these …

The synthesis and evaluation of a novel calix [4] arene-based fluorescent chemosensor 8 for
the detection of Cd2+ and Zn2+ is described. The fluorescent spectra changes observed …

Linking cell signaling events to the fundamental physicochemical basis of the
conformational behavior of single molecules and ultimately to cellular function is a key …

How can single cells without nervous systems perform complex behaviours such as
habituation, associative learning and decision making, which are considered the hallmark of …
