Conductive Polymer Microelectrodes for on-chip measurement of transmitter release from living cells

Tylsgaard Larsen S., Matteucci M., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

In this work we present an all-polymer chip for measuring exocytotic release from neuronal cells using electrochemical sensing at a conductive polymer microelectrode. This chip combines several novel aspects, such as the use of conductive [...]

An Integrated Transport Model for Tracking of Individual Exocytotic Events Using a Microelectrode

Fan T.H., Fedorov A.G., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

A complex biophysical process underlying the release of neurotransmitters and hormones from the secretion cells, known as a vesicular exocytosis, is an important mechanism that defines cell signaling and intercellular communication. This phenomenon has been [...]
