All throughout life, from early embryonic development through the operation and interaction of cells and tissues in the adult body up to the process of regeneration, biophysical signals, particularly mechanosensation, play a crucial role. Extracellular mechanical stimuli cause tissue regeneration, which includes processes including cell division, differentiation, migration, and ejection [1,2,3]. Age causes the body's ability to rejuvenate to decline, which negatively impacts on our lives.
The techniques for modulating or controlling mechanical stimulation of cells that are currently available frequently lack the effectiveness, dependability, reversibility, and spatial sensitivity needed for in vitro and in vivo applications. Here, we demonstrate a cutting-edge method for manipulating mechanosensitive ion channels using exogenous organic semiconductors. Materials of this class may be readily processed into a variety of forms, such as thin films, microstructured devices, or nanoparticles, and are totally biocompatible, providing the potential for in vivo use. However, their particular opto-electrical characteristics stand out the most, offering exceptional visible light responsivity as well as electron and ion conductivity.
In this study, we investigate the potential for accurate and efficient regulation of the activation of mechanosensitive ion channels using organic semiconductors, particularly conjugated polymers. We critically examine the outcomes produced by various techniques, such as microstructured devices and polymer thin films.
Our findings may pave the way for the development of cutting-edge smart materials for tissue regeneration triggered by physical stimuli.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
