Inherent bistabilities within DNA-assembled fluorescent resonant energy transfer systems demonstrated time-varying optical signals in response to an electrophoretic driving force. Frequency responses of electrophoretically driven FRET systems were shown to be sequence specific. Integration of these signals over time gave near single-molecule sensitivity within a high background of autofluorescence. This research suggests that externally driven nanoscale mechanical systems may help improve information flow within morphologically intact specimens.

Low-frequency AC electrophoresis lies in a regime between DC microchannel electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis, which typically utilizes frequencies above 1000 Hz. Although few electrophoretic methods have been reported in this ≤100 Hz range, traveling wave electrophoresis (TWE) and transverse AC electrophoresis (TrACE) operate in this frequency range, and use low voltages to avoid bubble formation from water electrolysis. TWE provides molecular separations with enhanced control and TrACE provides multiplexed, multiparameter particle characterization.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how red blood cells (RBCs) move when exposed to direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) extremely low frequency (ELF) electric fields.
- Using a microscopic setup, researchers recorded RBC movement and analyzed their velocity in response to different electric field strengths.
- Findings indicated that RBCs moved towards the electric field in DC exposure and followed the field gradient in AC exposure; DC contributed linearly to RBC velocity while AC had a quadratic relationship, with the required electric field strength exceeding standard safety guidelines by a factor of 10^-10.

This review article presents an overview of the evolution of the field of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP); in particular, it focuses on insulator-based electrokinetic (iEK) systems stimulated with direct current and low-frequency(< 1 kHz) AC electric fields. The article covers the surge of iDEP as a research field where many different device designs were developed, from microchannels with arrays of insulating posts to devices with curved walls and nano- and micropipettes. All of these systems allowed for the manipulation and separation of a wide array of particles, ranging from macromolecules to microorganisms, including clinical and biomedical applications.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a common complex disease caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors, is a serious type of coronary artery disease and is also a leading cause of death worldwide. Autophagy-related 16-like 1 () is a key regulatory factor of autophagy and plays an important role in induced autophagy. In the cardiovascular system, autophagy is essential to preserve the homeostasis and function of the heart and blood vessels.
