Description:
Scientists at the University of Chicago have found an electrochemical way to control interactions between cells and a chip. It's an improvement over existing methods of influencing cell behavior, none of which allows control over cell-surface activities with chip-bound molecules. Researchers say the achievement could be a key step toward a wide variety of applications--everything from new drug assays to prosthetic aids that replace damaged neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bhattacharjee, Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 24;290(5496):1477-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11185497" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
