Abstract:The existence of acoustic pulse propagation in lipid
monolayers
at the air–water interface is well known. These pulses are
controlled by the thermodynamic state of the lipid membrane. Nevertheless,
the role of acoustic pulses for intra- and inter-cellular communication
is still a matter of debate. Herein, we used the dye di-4-ANEPPDHQ,
which is known to be sensitive to the physical state and transmembrane
potential of membranes, in order to gain insights into compression
waves in lipid-based membrane interface… Show more
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.
