Fully Additive Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors on Renewable and Compostable Substrates Enable Ultrasensitive Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fully additive vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) with channel‐length of 226 nm on a 50 µm compostable substrate achieve >106 current modulation and ∼36 mS transconductance. Ion‐selective integration enables 1.1 mA dec−1 sensitivity and 36 µm detection limit, highlighting a scalable platform for sustainable electronics and ...

Exploring glutamate-gated chloride channels in cancer cells: A narrative review on a hypothetical mechanism underpinning the anticancer effects of antiparasitic drugs

open access: yesСибирский научный медицинский журнал
Chloride channels play a fundamental role in cellular homeostasis, influencing ion balance, pH regulation, and apoptotic signaling. While glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCl) are traditionally restricted to invertebrates, recent evidence suggests ...

Chlorotoxin: A Helpful Natural Scorpion Peptide to Diagnose Glioma and Fight Tumor Invasion

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Chlorotoxin is a small 36 amino-acid peptide identified from the venom of the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus. Initially, chlorotoxin was used as a pharmacological tool to characterize chloride channels. While studying glioma-specific chloride currents,

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

Phospho-dependent modulation of potassium chloride co-transporter KCC2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The neuronal-specific potassium chloride co-transporter 2, KCC2, is a major chloride extruder in brain. The expression of KCC2 during neuronal development is fundamental to the switch of GABAergic response from excitatory to inhibitory. Malfunction of

ER localized bestrophin1 activates Ca2+ dependent ion channels TMEM16A and SK4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Bestrophins form Ca2+ activated Cl- channels and regulate intercellular Ca2+ signaling1. We demonstrate that bestrophin 1 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it physically interacts with stromal interacting molecule 1 (Stim1), the ER ...
