Redox-Enabled Bio-Electronics for Information Acquisition and Transmission

TL;DR: A review of recent efforts to develop redox-based bioelectronics for the acquisition of information and actuation of responses can be found in this article , where electrodes enable comparatively simple modulation/demodulation because electrodes readily transduce electrical inputs into redox signals.

Global Discovery and Temporal Changes of Human Albumin Modifications by Pan-Protein Adductomics: Initial Application to Air Pollution Exposure.

TL;DR: The Pan-Protein adductomics (PPA) technology reported in this paper is the next step toward an unbiased, comprehensive characterization of the human serum albumin (HSA)-based biomonitoring, using nanoflow-liquid chromatography, gas phase fractionation, and overlapping-window data-independent acquisition high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry.
