... of the electrode-electrolyte interface can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the ability of the microelectrode to record from more distant neurons. Therefore, tetrodes, which are made by twisting four 12.7 μ m nichrome wires together, are usually gold plated to lower impedances to 200–500 k Ω (measured at 1...

... have demonstrated the enhancement of thermal therapies in pre-clinical murine models of solid tumors by intravenously infusing 33 nm TNF- α and PEG coated gold nanoparticles (CYT-6091, Cytimmune Sciences Inc.) prior to ablation. This study investigates the enhancement of thermal ablation therapy by CYT...
