Structural heterogeneity of the ion and lipid channel TMEM16F

Transmembrane protein 16 F (TMEM16F) is a Ca2+-activated homodimer which functions as an ion channel and a phospholipid scramblase. Despite the availability of several TMEM16F cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures, the mechanism of activation ...

Electrochemical-repaired porous graphene membranes for precise ion-ion separation

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Heng-Yu Chi, Shuqing Song, Kangning Zhao, Zongyao Zhou

The preparation of atom-thick porous lattice hosting & Aring;-scale pores is attractive to achieve a large ion-ion selectivity in combination with a large ion flux. Graphene film is an ideal selective layer for this if high-precision pores can be incorpora ...

Tuning Pore Size in Graphene in the Angstrom Regime for Highly Selective Ion-Ion Separation

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Heng-Yu Chi, Kangning Zhao, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shaoxian Li, Wan-Chi Lee, Yuyang Zhang

Zero-dimensional pores spanning only a few angstroms in size in two-dimensional materials such as graphene are some of the most promising systems for designing ion-ion selective membranes. However, the key challenge in the field is that so far a crack-free ...

Design and performance of a small bath cryostat with NMR capability for transport of hyperpolarized samples

Andrea Capozzi

As of today, dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (dDNP) is the only clinically available hyperpolarization technique for C-13-MRI. Despite the clear path towards personalized medicine that dDNP is paving as an alternative and/or complement to Positron ...

Cell-type-specific nicotinic input disinhibits mouse barrel cortex during active sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Célia Roxane Gasselin, Benoît Hohl

Fast synaptic transmission relies upon the activation of ionotropic receptors by neurotransmitter release to evoke postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate and GABA play dominant roles in driving highly dynamic activity in synaptically connected neuronal circuit ...

Investigation of physiological roles of AMPK-activated protein kinase y3

Philipp Jurijvic Rhein

Clinical trials have shown that direct activators of an evolutionary-conserved metabolic sensor, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), are beneficial in preventing/treating a range of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. These activators, includi ...

Features integrate along a motion trajectory when object integrity is preserved

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Information about a moving object is usually poor at each retinotopic location because photoreceptor activation is short, noisy, and affected by shadows, reflections of other objects, and so on. Integration across the motion trajectory may yield a much bet ...

Cross Modal Focal Loss for RGBD Face Anti-Spoofing

Sébastien Marcel

Automatic methods for detecting presentation attacks are essential to ensure the reliable use of facial recognition technology. Most of the methods available in the litera- ture for presentation attack detection (PAD) fails in gen- eralizing to unseen atta ...

Prospects of Observing Ionic Coulomb Blockade in Artificial Ion Confinements

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrey Chernev, Sanjin Marion

Nanofluidics encompasses a wide range of advanced approaches to study charge and mass transport at the nanoscale. Modern technologies allow us to develop and improve artificial nanofluidic platforms that confine ions in a way similar to single-ion channels ...

Image-Based Marker-Free Screening of GABA(A) Agonists, Antagonists, and Modulators

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain

The ionotropic GABA(A) receptors represent the main target for different groups of widely used drugs having hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. So far, most approaches used to assess GABA activity involve invasive low -throughput electrophysiological techniqu ...
