Live Cell-Based Sensor Devices
Living cells maintain life functions by responding quickly and with great sensitivity to changes in the external environment. Consequently, sensors using cells as active elements are thought to be able to perform analyses faster and with more sensitivity than previously possible. Cell-based sensors can be roughly divided into two types. The first uses microorganisms such as Escherichia coli or ...
متن کاملLive cell refractometry using microfluidic devices.
Using Hilbert phase microscopy for extracting quantitative phase images, we measured the average refractive index associated with live cells in culture. To decouple the contributions to the phase signal from the cell refractive index and thickness, we confined the cells in microchannels. The results are confirmed by comparison with measurements of spherical cells in suspension.
متن کاملModular Extracellular Sensor Architecture for Engineering Mammalian Cell-based Devices
Engineering mammalian cell-based devices that monitor and therapeutically modulate human physiology is a promising and emerging frontier in clinical synthetic biology. However, realizing this vision will require new technologies enabling engineered circuitry to sense and respond to physiologically relevant cues. No existing technology enables an engineered cell to sense exclusively extracellula...
متن کاملFASTmiR: an RNA-based sensor for in vitro quantification and live-cell localization of small RNAs
Small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), play a variety of important regulatory roles in many eukaryotes. Their small size has made it challenging to study them directly in live cells. Here we describe an RNA-based fluorescent sensor for small RNA detection both in vitro and in vivo, adaptable for any small RNA. It utilizes an sxRNA switch for detection of m...
متن کاملA New Keyboard-Based, Sensor-Augmented Instrument For Live Performance
In an attempt to utilize the expert pianist's technique and spare bandwidth, a new keyboard-based instrument augmented by sensors suggested by the examination of existing acoustic instruments is introduced. The complete instrument includes a keyboard, various pedals and knee levers, several bowing controllers, and breath and embouchure sensors connected to an Arduino microcontroller that sends ...
