  2. Biosensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosensor

    The main requirements for a biosensor approach to be valuable in terms of research and commercial applications are the identification of a target molecule, availability of a suitable biological recognition element, and the potential for disposable portable detection systems to be preferred to sensitive laboratory-based techniques in some ...

  3. Optogenetic methods to record cellular activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optogenetic_methods_to...

    In a broader sense, optogenetic approaches also include the use of genetically encoded biosensors to monitor the activity of neurons or other cell types by measuring fluorescence or bioluminescence. Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) are used frequently to monitor neuronal activity, but other cellular parameters such as membrane ...

  4. Biotransducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotransducer

    Biosensors based on type of biotransducers. A biotransducer is the recognition-transduction component of a biosensor system. It consists of two intimately coupled parts; a bio-recognition layer and a physicochemical transducer, which acting together converts a biochemical signal to an electronic or optical signal.

  5. Plectin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plectin

    Plectin is a giant protein found in nearly all mammalian cells which acts as a link between the three main components of the cytoskeleton: actin microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. [5] In addition, plectin links the cytoskeleton to junctions found in the plasma membrane that structurally connect

  6. Cell membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane

    The cell membrane has different lipid and protein compositions in distinct types of cells and may have therefore specific names for certain cell types. Sarcolemma in muscle cells: Sarcolemma is the name given to the cell membrane of muscle cells. [46] Although the sarcolemma is similar to other cell membranes, it has other functions that set it ...

  7. Sarcoplasmic reticulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoplasmic_reticulum

    The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a network of the tubules that extend throughout muscle cells, wrapping around (but not in direct contact with) the myofibrils (contractile units of the cell). Cardiac and skeletal muscle cells contain structures called transverse tubules (T-tubules), which are extensions of the cell membrane that travel into the ...

  8. Biomechatronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechatronics

    In some devices, the information can is relayed by the user's nervous or muscle system. This information is related by the biosensor to a controller, which can be located inside or outside the biomechatronic device. In addition biosensors receive information about the limb position and force from the limb and actuator. Biosensors come in a ...

  9. Muscle cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_cell

    The unusual microscopic anatomy of a muscle cell gave rise to its terminology. The cytoplasm in a muscle cell is termed the sarcoplasm; the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell is termed the sarcoplasmic reticulum; and the cell membrane in a muscle cell is termed the sarcolemma. [9] The sarcolemma receives and conducts stimuli.
