Journal ArticleDOI

Electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) as a noninvasive means to monitor the kinetics of cell spreading to artificial surfaces.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high-frequency capacitance measurements are most suited to follow the increasing surface coverage of the electrode due to cell spreading, and the excellent time resolution of the ECIS technique allowed an in-depth analysis of cell spreading kinetics under various experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrical wound-healing assay for cells in vitro

TL;DR: In this approach, cells growing on small electrodes and monitored by using electric cell-substrate impedance sensing are subjected to currents, resulting in severe electroporation and subsequent cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioelectrical impedance assay to monitor changes in cell shape during apoptosis.

TL;DR: It is observed that disassembly of barrier-forming tight junctions precedes changes in cell-substrate contacts and correlates strongly with the time course of protease activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrocortisone reinforces the blood-brain barrier properties in a serum free cell culture system.

TL;DR: A serum-free cell culture model is established and it is found that hydrocortisone is a potent stimulator for the formation of barrier properties and decreased cell monolayer permeability for sucrose down to 5 x 10(-7) cm/s, which is close to the in vivo value.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nanogel for ratiometric fluorescent sensing of intracellular pH values.

TL;DR: A ratiometric fluorescent nanogel can sense pH over a range that is applicable to physiological studies and can be easily prepared and made pH-responsive by addition of a pH probe and a FRET system that utilizes the gel to hold dyes in close proximity.
