Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

Patch clamp studies of human sperm under physiological ionic conditions reveal three functionally and pharmacologically distinct cation channels [PDF]

, 2014
Whilst fertilizing capacity depends upon a K+ conductance G? that allows the spermatozoon membrane potential Vm to be held at a negative value, the characteristics of this conductance in human sperm are virtually unknown.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Voltage-gated sodium channels assemble and gate as dimers

Nature Communications, 2017
Voltage-gated sodium channels are expressed in excitable tissues and mutations have been linked to cardiac arrhythmias and channelopathies. Here the authors show that the sodium channel α-subunits interact to form a dimer and gate as dimer and that this ...
