Abstract
The dependence of the ionic conductance of ultra-thin polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films on the temperature and the number of bilayers has been investigated by the recently developed low energy bombardment induced ion transport (BIIT) method. To this end multilayers of alternating poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) layers were deposited on a metal electrode and subsequently bombarded by a low energy potassium ion beam. Ions are transported through the film according to the laws of electro-diffusion towards a grounded backside electrode. They are neutralized at the interface between the polymer film and the metal electrode. The detected neutralization current scales linearly with the acceleration potential of the ion beam indicating Ohmic behavior for the (PAH/PSS)x multilayer, where x denotes the number of bilayers. The conductance exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on the number of bilayers, x. For 2 ≤ x ≤ 8 the conductance increases non-linearly with the number of bilayers. For x ≥ 8 the conductance decreases with increasing number of bilayers. The variation of the conductance is rationalized by a model accounting for the structure dependence of the conductivity. The thinnest sample for which the conductance has been measured is the single bilayer reflecting properties dominated by the interface. The activation energy for the ion transport is 0.49 eV.

Abstract
A fundamental issue in biomedical and environmental sciences is the development of sensitive and robust sensors able to probe the analyte of interest, under physiological and pathological conditions or in environmental samples, and with very high spatial resolution. In this work, novel hybrid organic fibers that can effectively report the analyte concentration within the local microenvironment are reported. The nanostructured and flexible wires are prepared by embedding fluorescent pH sensors based on seminaphtho-rhodafluor-1-dextran conjugate. By adjusting capsule/polymer ratio and spinning conditions, the diameter of the fibers and the alignment of the reporting capsules are both tuned. The hybrid wires display excellent stability, high sensitivity, as well as reversible response, and their operation relies on effective diffusional kinetic coupling of the sensing regions and the embedding polymer matrix. These devices are believed to be a powerful new sensing platform for clinical diagnostics, bioassays and environmental monitoring.

Advances in Use of Capsule-Based Fluorescent Sensors for Measuring Acidification of Endocytic Compartments in Cells with Altered Expression of V-ATPase Subunit V1G1.

Abstract
Acidification of eukaryotic cell compartments is accomplished by vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPases), large multisubunit complexes able to pump protons into the lumen of organelles or in the extracellular medium. V-ATPases are involved in a number of physiological cellular processes, and thus regulation of V-ATPase activity is of crucial importance for the cell. Indeed, dysfunction of V-ATPase or alterations of acidification have been recently recognized as key factors in a variety of human diseases. In this study, we applied capsule-based pH sensors and a real-time tracking method for investigating the role of the V1G1 subunit of V-ATPases in regulating the activity of the proton pump. We first constructed stable cell lines overexpressing or silencing the subunit V1G1. Second, we used fluorescent capsule-based pH sensors to monitor acidification before and during internalization by modified and control living cells. By using a simple real-time method for tracking capsule internalization, we were able to identify different capsule acidification levels with respect to each analyzed cell and to establish the kinetics for each. The intracellular pH measurements indicate a delay in acidification in either V1G1-overexpressing or V1G1-silenced cells compared to controls. Finally, in an independent set of experiments, we applied transmission electron microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy to further investigate the internalization of the capsules. Both analyses confirm that capsules are engulfed in acidic vesicular structures in modified and control cell lines. The use of capsule-based pH sensors allowed demonstration of the importance of the V1G1 subunit in V-ATPase activity concerning intravesicular acidification. We believe that the combined use of these pH-sensor system and such a real-time method for tracking their internalization path would contribute to systematically measure the proton concentration changes inside the endocytic compartments in various cell systems. This approach would provide fundamental information regarding molecular mechanisms and factors that regulate intracellular acidification, vesicular trafficking, and cytoskeletal reorganizations.
