Abstract
Living cells contain a whole set of intracellular information networks, including signal transduction pathways that control gene expression, intracellular ion influxes and cellular excitability. Stimulations by extracellular molecular messenger or physical stimuli activates these intracellular information networks, modulate physical functions. According to the special characteristics cells could be used as a part of a biological information network within biodevices. Recently, the studies about bioelectronic access to such biological informations as cellular and biomolecular signals were accelerated. This paper describes new concepts of electrochemical methods using cell-based biodevices.
