Neural Membrane Signaling Platforms
Throughout much of the history of biology, the cell membrane was functionally defined as a semi-permeable barrier separating aqueous compartments, and an anchoring site for proteins. Little attention was devoted to its possible regulatory role in intracellular molecular processes and neuron electrical signaling. This article reviews the history of membrane studies and the current state of the a...
متن کاملProtein Sensors for Membrane Sterols
Cholesterol is an essential component of animal cell membranes, and its concentration is tightly controlled by a feedback system that operates at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Here, we discuss recent advances that explain how cells employ an ensemble of membrane-embedded proteins to monitor sterol concentrations and adjust sterol synthesis and uptake.
متن کاملHardware compilation, configurable platforms and ASICs for self-validating sensors
We describe the use of hardware compilation techniques to provide a exible interfacing and computing platform for building self-validating (SEVA) sensors. SEVA technology has been developed at Ox-ford as a generic method of supplying a real-time guarantee on the quality of a physical measurement as well as the measurement itself. We describe the reconngurable hardware platforms that have been c...
متن کاملTemplated xerogels as platforms for biomolecule-less biomolecule sensors.
We report on a new sensor strategy that we have termed protein imprinted xerogels with integrated emission sites (PIXIES). The PIXIES platform is completely self-contained, and it achieves analyte recognition without a biorecognition element (e.g., antibody). The PIXIES relies upon sol-gel-derived xerogels, molecular imprinting, and the selective installation of a luminescent reporter molecule ...
متن کاملMagnetic Particle-Based Hybrid Platforms for Bioanalytical Sensors
Biomagnetic nano and microparticles platforms have attracted considerable interest in the field of biological sensors due to their interesting physico-chemical properties, high specific surface area, good mechanical stability and opportunities for generating magneto-switchable devices. This review discusses recent advances in the development and characterization of active biomagnetic nanoassemb...
