麻省理工学院的研究人员发明了一种生物监测技术,使用无线、轻敏度天线(称为OCEANs)监测无电线的细胞培养中的电信号。 Researchers at MIT have invented a biosensing technique using wireless, light-sensitive antennas, called OCEANs, to monitor electrical signals in cell cultures without wires. 这些天线,是人类毛发宽度的一百倍,通过改变它们如何散布光来检测电活动的变化。 These antennas, one-hundredth the width of a human hair, detect changes in electrical activity by altering how they scatter light. 通过这种方法,可以对细胞通信进行高分辨率监测,从而可以推进对心律失常和阿尔茨海默氏症等疾病的诊断和治疗。 This method allows high-resolution monitoring of cell communication, which could advance the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like arrhythmia and Alzheimer's.
