Cell Type-Specific Membrane Potential Changes in Dorsolateral Striatum Accompanying Reward-Based Sensorimotor Learning

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Tanya C Sippy

The striatum integrates sensorimotor and motivational signals, likely playing a key role in reward-based learning of goal-directed behavior. However, cell type-specific mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning remain to be precisely determined. Here, w ...

Asymmetric opening of the homopentameric 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in lipid bilayers

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop receptor family are key players in fast signal transduction throughout the nervous system. They have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not ...

Optimized electrochemical breakdown etching using temporal voltage variation for formation of nanopores in a silicon membrane

Miao Zhang

Dielectric breakdown etching is a well-known method of making nanopores on thin (similar to 50 nm) dielectric membranes. However, voltage driven translocation of biomolecules through such nanopores becomes extremely fast. For improved detection, for instan ...

Coating Porous MXene Films with Tunable Porosity for High-Performance Solid-State Supercapacitors

Jakob Heier, Sina Abdolhosseinzadeh

Two-dimensional MXenes with their outstanding physical and chemical properties have been extensively used in numerous fields such as electrochemical energy storage, catalysis, and sensing. In these applications, high active surface area and facilitated dif ...

Direct observation of water-mediated single-proton transport between hBN surface defects

Aleksandra Radenovic, Evgenii Glushkov, Ahmet Avsar, Jean Camille Benjamin Comtet, Benoît Grosjean

Super-resolution microscopy of defects in a two-dimensional material unveils the transport of single proton charges at solid/water interfaces. Aqueous proton transport at interfaces is ubiquitous and crucial for a number of fields, ranging from cellular tr ...

High resolution CryoEM structure of the ring-shaped virulence factor EspB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Jérémie Piton

The EspB protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a 60 kDa virulence factor, implicated in conjugation and exported by the ESX-1 system of which it may also be a component. Previous attempts to obtain high-resolution maps of EspB by cryo-electron microscop ...

Calcium-Mediated Liposome Fusion to Engineer Giant Lipid Vesicles with Cytosolic Proteins and Reconstituted Mammalian Proteins

Leo Scheller

Giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as model membrane systems and provide an excellent basis to construct artificial cells. To construct more sophisticated artificial cells, proteins-in particular membrane proteins-need to be incorporat ...

First-principles calculations of charge carrier mobility and conductivity in bulk semiconductors and two-dimensional materials

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

One of the fundamental properties of semiconductors is their ability to support highly tunable electric currents in the presence of electric fields or carrier concentration gradients. These properties are described by transport coefficients such as electro ...

Surface engineering of T cells with polymer nanoparticles to enhance drug delivery to the brain

Markus Schuster

Firstly, this thesis presents the in vivo evaluation of a previously developed model system that utilizes CD4+ TE/M cells decorated with up to 100 polystyrene based nanoparticles per cell by maleimide thiol conjugation. These nanoparticle T-cell conjugates ...
