Modified Carbon Nanotubes Favor Fibroblast Growth by Tuning the Cell Membrane Potential Open
As is known, carbon nanotubes favor cell growth in vitro, although the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully elucidated. In this study, we explore the hypothesis that electrostatic fields generated at the interface between nonexcitable c…

Electrostatic polarization fields trigger glioblastoma stem cell differentiation Open
Glioblastoma cancer stem-like cells seeded on substrates exhibiting surface potential differences, undergo differentiation due to the forced hyperpolarization of the membrane potential at the cell/substrate interface.

Spatial regulation of coordinated excitatory and inhibitory synaptic plasticity at dendritic synapses Open
Summary The induction of synaptic plasticity at an individual dendritic glutamatergic spine can affect neighboring spines. This local modulation generates dendritic plasticity microdomains believed to expand the neuronal computational capa…
