Optimising CNT-FET Biosensor Design: Predictive Modelling of Biomolecular Electrostatic Gating and its Application to Beta-Lactamase Detection

This study models protein electrostatic interactions with CNT-FETs and demonstrates detection of beta-lactamases using BLIP2 receptors.

Graphene-based thin film microelectrode technology for in vivo high resolution neural recording and stimulation

This paper introduces a graphene-based thin film microelectrode technology for high-resolution in vivo neural recording and stimulation, showing low impedance, high charge injection, and good biocompatibility.

Regulation of Cardiomyocyte Adhesion and Mechanosignalling Through Distinct Nanoscale Behaviour of Integrin Ligands Mimicking Healthy or Fibrotic ECM

This study investigates how integrin-ligand combinations affect cardiomyocyte adhesion, traction forces, and mechanosignalling in healthy and fibrotic ECM environments.

Adenosine metabolized from extracellular ATP promotes type 2 immunity through triggering A2BAR signaling on intestinal epithelial cells

The paper shows that adenosine from extracellular ATP via A2BAR on intestinal epithelial cells promotes type 2 immunity against helminth infection.

Self-powered piezo-bioelectronic device mediates tendon repair through modulation of mechanosensitive ion channels.

This study demonstrates a self-powered piezo-bioelectronic device that modulates mechanosensitive ion channels to promote tendon repair in a rat model.
