  • Do piezoelectric nanoparticles affect gating of ion channels?
  • This study observed the effects of polarized and non-polarized nanoparticles on voltage-gated ion channels
  • Specifically whether or not changes in ionic currents through these channels are detected
  • May determine whether nanoparticles can be used to modify channel gating
  • Also may address the larger issue of nanoparticle toxicity to mammalian cells
