A theoretical design of evanescent wave biosensors based on gate-controlled graphene surface plasmon resonance

Abstract A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on gate-controlled periodic graphene ribbons array is reported.Different from the conventional methods by monitoring reflectivity variations with respect to incident angle or wavelength, this approach measures the change in SPR curve against the variation of graphene chemical potential (via dy

Comparative proteomic analysis of the hemolymph and salivary glands of Rhodnius prolixus and R. colombiensis reveals candidates associated with differential lytic activity against Trypanosoma cruzi Dm28c and T. cruzi Y.

BackgroundImmune response of triatomines plays an important role in the success or failure of transmission of T.cruzi.Studies on parasite-vector interaction have shown the presence of trypanolytic factors and have been observed to be differentially expressed among triatomines, which affects the transmission of some T.cruzi strains or DTUs (Discrete

Low and high gamma oscillations in rat ventral striatum have distinct relationships to behavior, reward, and spiking activity on a learned spatial decision task

Local field potential (LFP) oscillations in the brain reflect organization thought to be important for perception, attention, movement, and memory.In the basal ganglia, including dorsal striatum, dysfunctional LFP states are associated with Parkinson’s disease, while in healthy subjects, dorsal striatal LFPs have been linked to decision-makin
