The carnivorous plant Dionaea possesses very sensitive mechanoreceptors. Upon contact
with prey an action potential is triggered which, via an electrical network–comparable to the …

Chromaffin cells (CCs) of the adrenal gland and the sympathetic nervous system produce
the catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine; EPI and NE) needed to coordinate …

Electrochemical microelectrodes are commonly used to detect spikes of amperometric
current that correspond to exocytosis of oxidizable transmitter from individual vesicles, ie …

ClC-3 is an intracellular chloride transport protein known to reside on endosomes and
synaptic vesicles. The endogenous protein has been notoriously difficult to detect in …

We report the lithographic microfabrication of a movable thin film microelectrode array (MEA)
probe consisting of 16 platinum band electrodes placed on top of a supporting borosilicate …

Microelectrodes have emerged as an important tool used by scientists to study biological
changes in the brain and in single cells. This review briefly summarizes the ways in which …

Abstract Pannexin‐1 (Panx1) forms plasma membrane channels that allow the exchange of
small molecules between the intracellular and extracellular compartments, and are involved …

Neuronal transmission relies on electrical signals and the transfer of chemical signals from
one neuron to another. Chemical messages are transmitted from presynaptic neurons to …

BACKGROUND: Neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and hormones are released from
secretory vesicles of nerve terminals and neuroendocrine cells by calcium-activated …

High biocompatibility, outstanding electrochemical responsiveness, inertness, and
transparency make diamond-based multiarrays (DBMs) first-rate biosensors for in vitro …
