It is generally acknowledged that Pb(2+), which is sequestered by live cells from their direct environment, affects a large number of cellular processes at picomolar to micromolar concentrations. However, resolving the specific molecular targets and mechanisms responsible for the neurotoxic effects of this xenobiotic metal is hampered by the lack of ...

No-sense: Sense with dormant sensors [PDF]
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have enabled continuous monitoring of an area of interest (body, room, region, etc.) while eliminating expensive wired infrastructure. Typically in such applications, wireless sensor nodes report the sensed values to a sink node, where the information is required for the end-user. WSNs also provide the flexibility to the

Glucose Sensing in the Hepatic Portal Vein and Its Role in Food Intake and RewardSummary
The detection of nutrients in the gut influences ongoing and future feeding behavior as well as the development of food preferences. In addition to nutrient sensing in the intestine, the hepatic portal vein plays a considerable role in detecting ingested
