“…The model works with absolute currents. Estimating the radius of an HL-1 cell to be 7 μm [47] and knowing the electrode opening radius of 2.5 μm we assume χ total ≈ 5% of the total current I total through the membrane to be important for the signal…”

We present a model to describe the response of chip-based nanocavity sensors during extracellular recording of action potentials. These sensors feature microelectrodes which are embedded in liquid-filled cavities. They can be used for the highly localized detection of electrical signals on a chip. We calculate the sensor's impedance and simulate the propagation of action potentials. Subsequently we apply our findings to analyze cell-chip coupling properties. The results are compared to experimental data obtained from cardiomyocyte-like cells. We show that both the impedance and the modeled action potentials fit the experimental data well. Furthermore, we find evidence for a large seal resistance of cardiomyocytes on nanocavity sensors compared to conventional planar recording systems.

“…The optical control of confocal microscopy lasers would allow pulses of various intensities of light to be applied in a suppression regime interspersed with 10 optical measurements. Laser stimulation could conversely be used to activate model systems that do not normally produce reliable APs [46] whereas ChR2 gives the advantage of artifact free and reliable stimulation without permeabilization. Nevertheless, electric pacemakers are commonly used and well explored.…”
prosthesis research focuses on bidirectionality, this system may be applied to any electrogenic cell, including neurons or muscles, to advance this field.
“…We studied in confocal microscopy non-beating cells [1] from the first cardiac cell line, HL-1, kindly provided by Dr W. Claycomb [2]. Cells were incubated with a mitochondrial selective fluorescent dye, a rhodamine derivative, TMRM (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) for 15 min before the experiment.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
