Guided Neuronal Growth on Arrays of Biofunctionalized GaAs/InGaAs Semiconductor Microtubes
We demonstrate embedded growth of cortical mouse neurons in dense arrays of
semiconductor microtubes. The microtubes, fabricated from a strained
GaAs/InGaAs heterostructure, guide axon growth through them and enable
electrical and optical probing of propagating action potentials. The coaxial
nature of the microtubes -- similar to myelin -- is expected to enhance the
signal transduction along the axon. We present a technique of suppressing
arsenic toxicity and prove the success of this technique by overgrowing
neuronal mouse cells.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
DHA and EPA Interaction with Raft Domains Observed With Solid-State 2H NMR Spectroscopy
poster abstractResearch continues to examine the health benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) found in fish oils. The major bioactive components are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5), with 20 carbons and 5 double bonds, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), with 22 carbons and 6 double bonds. However, their molecular modes of action remain unclear. A suggested hypothesis is that these fatty acids are incorporated into membrane phospholipids and modify the structure and organization of lipid rafts, thus affecting cell signaling. We used solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy to compare molecular organization in mixtures of 1-palmitoyl-2-eicosapentaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PEPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PDPC) with the raft-stabilizing molecules sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol. Our spectra for PEPC-d31 and PDPC-d31, analogs of PEPC and PDPC with a perdeuterated palmitoyl sn-1 chain, showed that DHA has a greater tendency than EPA to incorporate into raft-like domains enriched in SM and cholesterol. By using PSM-d31, an analog of SM with a perdeuterated N-palmitoyl chain, we now directly observe one of the raft-forming molecules and analyze the molecular order within the raft. These results will add to the growing information on how EPA and DHA differentially modify lipid domain organization in bilayers
