Bioelectronics for Millimeter-Sized Model Organisms [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Advances in microfabrication technologies and biomaterials have enabled a growing class of electronic devices that can stimulate and record bioelectronic signals. Many of these devices have been developed for humans or vertebrate animals, where miniaturization allows for implantation within the body.

Electrochemical Sizing of Organic Nanoparticles
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2013 The size of organic nanoparticles (NPs) can be electrochemically determined by Faradaic charge transfer when nanoparticles strike an electrode. Indigo NPs were used as a model (see distribution of the NP diameter). This strategy could be used for monitoring the size of a wide range of organic nanoparticles.

Optimizing the vertebrate vestibular semicircular canal: could we balance any better? [PDF]
, 2004 The fluid-filled semicircular canals (SCCs) of the vestibular system are used by all vertebrates to sense angular rotation. Despite masses spanning seven decades, all mammalian SCCs are nearly the same size.

A Feedback Loop Controlling Organ Size [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2019 To maintain proper organ size, nature has devised trans-organ communication systems-involving both paracrine and circulating regulatory factors-to safeguard homeostasis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ji et al. (2019) now describe an enterohepatic feedback loop that balances tissue size and function in the mammalian liver.
