Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for nanowire alignment and deposition. Energizing (e.g., an alternating current electric field) is used to align and associate nanowires with electrodes. By modulating the energizing, the nanowires are coupled to the electrodes such that they remain in place during subsequent wash and drying steps. The invention also provides methods for transferring nanowires from one substrate to another in order to prepare various device substrates. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring and controlling the number of nanowires deposited at a particular electrode pair, as well as methods for manipulating nanowires in solution.

Abstract: A method according to the present invention for inhibiting cell death includes administrating an anion channel-forming peptide to cells under lactacidosis. The anion channel-forming peptide forms an anion channel on a cell membrane artificially. A cell death inhibitor according to the present invention contains the anion channel-forming peptide. Some of examples of the anion channel-forming peptide are a VacA protein derived from Helicobacter pylori and a glycine receptor channel variant peptide. The method and cell death inhibitor according to the present invention are effective especially for necrotic cell death that accompanies cell swelling.
