  • Monitoring and manipulating cellular transmembrane potentials using nanostructures
    Patent number: 9506930
    Abstract: The use of nanostructures to monitor or modulate changes in cellular membrane potentials is disclosed. Nanoparticles having phospholipid coatings were found to display improved responses relative to nanoparticles having other coatings that do not promote localization or attraction to membranes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2016
    Assignee: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Michael J. Ignatius, Elena Molokanova, Alex Savtchenko
