Can Dincer,Richard Bruch,Estefanía Costa-Rama,M.T. Fernández-Abedul,Arben Merkoçi,Andreas Manz,Gerald Urban,Firat Güder +7 more
TL;DR: A brief insight into the materials and basics of sensors (methods of transduction, molecular recognition, and amplification) is provided followed by a comprehensive and critical overview of the disposable sensors currently used for medical diagnostics, food, and environmental analysis.
Electrically conducting polymers cannoninvasively control the shapeandgrowth ofmammalian cells
Joycey . Wong,Donalde . Ingberi +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that electrically conducting polymers may represent a type of culture substrate which could provide a noninvasive means to control the shape and function of adherent cells, independent of any medium alteration.
