The standard model of the cell membrane potential Vm describes it as arising from diffusion
currents across a membrane with a constant electric field, with zero electric field outside the …

In recent years, tremendous effort is devoted to developing platforms, such as implantable
drug delivery systems (IDDSs), with temporally and spatially controlled drug release …

Cyclic polymers with cleavable backbones triggered by either external or internal stimuli can
realize simultaneous extracellular stability and intracellular destabilization of cyclic polymer …

Organic semiconductors are typically dissolved in organic solvents that are harmful to
human health and the environment. To overcome this issue, these materials can be …

Photodynamic inhibition (PDI) of bacteria represents a powerful strategy for dealing with
multidrug-resistant pathogens and infections, as it exhibits minimal development of antibiotic …

We introduce a family of membrane-targeted azobenzenes (MTs) with a push-pull character
as a new tool for cell stimulation. These molecules are water soluble and spontaneously …

Bacterial ion fluxes are involved in the generation of energy, transport, and motility. As such,
bacterial electrophysiology is fundamentally important for the bacterial life cycle, but it is …

Mechanosensitive ion channels are present in the plasma membranes of all cells. They play
a fundamental role in converting mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals and are …

Non-genetic photostimulation, which allows for control over cellular activity via the use of cell-
targeting phototransducers, is widely used nowadays to study and modulate/restore …

Fungicides have been widely used to protect crops from the disease of pythium
aphanidermatum (PA). However, excessive use of synthetic fungicides can lead to fungal …
