Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotubes might improve neuronal performance by favouring electrical shortcuts
Giada Cellot,Emanuele Cilia,Emanuele Cilia,Sara Cipollone,Vladimir Rancic,Antonella Sucapane,Silvia Giordani,Silvia Giordani,Luca Gambazzi,Henry Markram,Micaela Grandolfo,Denis Scaini,Fabrizio Gelain,Loredana Casalis,Maurizio Prato,Michele Giugliano,Michele Giugliano,Laura Ballerini +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown, using single-cell electrophysiology techniques, electron microscopy analysis and theoretical modelling, that nanotubes improve the responsiveness of neurons by forming tight contacts with the cell membranes that might favour electrical shortcuts between the proximal and distal compartments of the neuron.
Journal ArticleDOI
GABAergic signaling as therapeutic target for autism spectrum disorders
Giada Cellot,Enrico Cherubini +1 more
TL;DR: How changes of GABAA-mediated neurotransmission affect several forms of ASDs including the Fragile X, the Angelman, and Rett syndromes are discussed, and reverting the polarity of GABA responses from the depolarizing to the hyperpolarizing direction with the diuretic bumetanide, a selective blocker of NKCC1 is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanotubes Promote Growth and Spontaneous Electrical Activity in Cultured Cardiac Myocytes
Valentina Martinelli,Giada Cellot,Francesca M. Toma,Carlin S. Long,John H. Caldwell,Lorena Zentilin,Mauro Giacca,Antonio Turco,Maurizio Prato,Laura Ballerini,Luisa Mestroni +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neonatal rat ventricular myocytes cultured on substrates of multiwall carbon Nanotubes interact with carbon nanotubes by forming tight contacts and show increased viability and proliferation, suggesting that carbon nanOTubes are able to promote cardiomyocyte maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene-Based Interfaces Do Not Alter Target Nerve Cells
Alessandra Fabbro,Alessandra Fabbro,Denis Scaini,Denis Scaini,Verónica León,Ester Vázquez,Giada Cellot,G. Privitera,Lucia Lombardi,Felice Torrisi,Flavia Tomarchio,Francesco Bonaccorso,Francesco Bonaccorso,Susanna Bosi,Andrea C. Ferrari,Laura Ballerini,Laura Ballerini,Maurizio Prato,Maurizio Prato +18 more
TL;DR: Graphene-based substrates (GBSs) are shown to be permissive interfaces, even when uncoated by cell adhesion layers, retaining unaltered neuronal signaling properties, thus being suitable for carbon-based neural prosthetic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanotube Scaffolds Tune Synaptic Strength in Cultured Neural Circuits: Novel Frontiers in Nanomaterial–Tissue Interactions
Giada Cellot,Francesca M. Toma,Zeynep Kasap Varley,Jummi Laishram,Ambra Villari,Mildred Quintana,Sara Cipollone,Maurizio Prato,Laura Ballerini +8 more
TL;DR: The role of the material's properties alone, in carbon nanotube scaffolds, in constructing the functional building blocks of neural circuits: the synapses is investigated.
