Journal ArticleDOI

Counting polymers moving through a single ion channel

TL;DR: This work shows that natural channel-forming peptides incorporated into a bilayer lipid membrane can be used to detect the passage of single molecules with gyration radii as small as 5–15 Å, and infer both the average number and the diffusion coefficients of poly(ethylene glycol) molecules in the pore.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noise-induced enhancement of signal transduction across voltage-dependent ion channels

TL;DR: A hundred-fold increase in signal transduction induced by external noise is accompanied by a growth in the output signal-to-noise ratio, and the system of ion channels considered here represents the simplest biological system yet known to exhibit stochastic resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic resonance in non-dynamical systems without response thresholds

TL;DR: Stochastic resonance can occur in a broad class of thermally driven physico-chemical systems, such as semiconductor p–n junctions, mesoscopic electronic devices and voltage-dependent ion channels, in which reaction rates are controlled by activation barriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Volume Measurement Using Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy

TL;DR: A novel scanning ion conductance microscopy technique for assessing the volume of living cells, which allows quantitative, high-resolution characterization of dynamic changes in cell volume while retaining the cell functionality, is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic assembly of surface structures in living cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the intrinsic dynamics of microvilli, combined with their ability to make stable structures, allows them to act as elementary “building blocks” for the assembly of specialized structures on the cell surface.
