Article Synopsis
  • Cells change shape during development, which can affect how they communicate with each other, especially in Notch signaling that guides neighboring cells' fates.
  • Researchers used micropatterning and a specialized assay to discover that the area of contact between two cells directly influences their signaling, with larger contact areas promoting stronger signals.
  • Mathematical models suggest that this signaling relationship can lead to smaller cells being more likely to become signal-producing cells, as observed in the developing chick inner ear, where smaller precursor cells for hair cells had different characteristics compared to non-hair cells.

The utilization of field-effect transistor (FET) devices in biosensing applications have been extensively studied in recent years. Qualitative and quantitative understanding of the contribution of the organic layers constructed on the device gate, and the electrolyte media, on the behavior of the device is thus crucial. In this work we analyze the contribution of different organic layers on the pH sensitivity, threshold voltage, and gain of a silicon-on-insulator based FET device.
