An NH4Cl-superfused system for a cell-cultured pH-sensing transistor was developed for detecting ion leakage across the plasma membranes of model HepG2 cells. The screening of chemical species by the method developed and conventional membrane-leakage assays identified the types of membrane injuries: structural membrane disruption and pore formation. Apoptosis-mediated membrane disordering was detected by continuously monitoring the ion-barrier breakdown of the membranes using the transistor… 
Induced Proton Dynamics on Semiconductor Surfaces for Sensing Tight Junction Formation Enhanced by Extracellular Matrix and Drug.
TLDR
The pH perturbation assay was able to rigorously evaluate TJ formation, as the assay uses protons as the smallest indicator for detecting paracellular gaps and the pH perturbedation is specific to TJ alterations.
A proton/macromolecule-sensing approach distinguishes changes in biological membrane permeability during polymer/lipid-based nucleic acid delivery.
TLDR
This work explored the effects of lipid- and polymer-based transfection reagents on the permeability of cellular membranes through an innovative method combining a proton-sensing transistor and a cytosolic LDH leakage assay, which allows for distinguish between modes of molecule permeation that may occur during endosomal escape.
Translocation Mechanisms of Cell-Penetrating Polymers Identified by Induced Proton Dynamics.
TLDR
In summary, elucidating translocation mechanisms by proton dynamics will guide the design of nanomaterials with controlled permeabilization to cell membranes for bioengineering applications.

TLDR
An active method of pH sensing was developed for the analysis of the cell barrier in vitro with the unique feature of the sensitivity to the formation of transmembrane pores as small as a proton (H+), enabling theAnalysis of cell–nanomaterial interactions at the molecular level.
Phospholipid-mimicking cell-penetrating polymers: principles and applications.
TLDR
It is discovered that nonendocytic internalization of synthetic amphipathic polymer-based nanoaggregates that mimic the structure of natural phospholipids can occur without inducing cytotoxicity, and may find applications in drug delivery systems, gene transfection, cell therapies, and biomolecular engineering.
Internalization Mechanisms of Pyridinium Sulfobetaine Polymers Evaluated by Induced Protic Perturbations on Cell Surfaces.
TLDR
It is found that the cell-penetrating polysulfobetaines had limited or no detrimental effect on cell proliferation and this work enhances the opportunity to design and synthesize soft nanomatters for cell manipulations by passing across biomembrane partitions.
Transepithelial Delivery of Insulin Conjugated with Phospholipid-Mimicking Polymers via Biomembrane Fusion-Mediated Transcellular Pathways
TLDR
Nonendocytic transepithelial permeation was achieved when insulin was chemically conjugated with the phospholipid-mimicking nanocarrier, and the bioactivity of insulin as a growth factor was found to be maintained even after translocation.

Oleyl group-functionalized insulating gate transistors for measuring extracellular pH of floating cells
TLDR
The oleyl group-functionalized gate insulator successfully captured Jurkat T cells in a fluidic condition without acute cytotoxicity and was able to record the time course of pH changes at the cells/ISFET interface during the process of instant addition and withdrawal of ammonium chloride.
Measurement of Rapid Amiloride-Dependent pH Changes at the Cell Surface Using a Proton-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor
TLDR
In conjuction with an efficient continuous superfusion system, the ISFET sensor was capable of recording rapid changes in pH at the cells’ surface induced by intervals of ammonia loading and unloading, even when using highly buffered solutions.
An Integrated Field-Effect Microdevice for Monitoring Membrane Transport in Xenopus laevis Oocytes via Lateral Proton Diffusion
TLDR
Experiments conducted on two families of phosphate-sodium cotransporters demonstrated that it is possible to detect phosphate transport for both electrogenic and electroneutral isoforms and distinguish between transport of different phosphate species.
Detergent Induction of HEK 293A Cell Membrane Permeability Measured under Quiescent and Superfusion Conditions Using Whole Cell Patch Clamp
TLDR
Using the IonFlux 16, an ensemble whole cell planar patch clamp, it is observed that anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate, cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and cationsic, fluorescent octadecyl rhodamine B increased the membrane permeability of cells substantially within a second of exposure, under superfusion conditions.
Apoptosis, oncosis, and necrosis. An overview of cell death.
TLDR
Some of the typical features of apoptosis are discussed, such as budding (as opposed to blebbing and zeiosis) and the inflammatory response, and stands in contrast to apoptosis, which leads to necrosis with karyorhexis and cell shrinkage.
