What are the physical limits of chemosensation in sperm?

Introtext:  Many cells probe their environment for chemical cues. Some cells respond to picomolar concentrations of neuropeptides, hormones, pheromones, or chemoattractants. At such low concentrations, cells encounter only a few molecules. The mechanistic underpinnings of single-molecule sensitivity are not known for any eukaryotic cell. Sea urchin sperm offer a unique model to unveil in quantitative terms the principles underlying chemosensation at the physical limit. Here, we discuss the mechanisms of such exquisite sensitivity and the computational operations performed by sperm during chemotactic steering. Moreover, we highlight commonalities and differences between signalling in sperm and photoreceptors and among sperm from different species.

PROF. DR. U. BENJAMIN KAUPP Ut varius tincidunt libero. Phasellus dolor. Maecenas vestibulum mollis diam. Pellentesque ut neque. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. In dui magna, posuere eget, vestibulum et, tempor auctor, justo.

Morbi mattis ullamcorper velit?

DR. LUIS ALVAREZ Jeder kennt den Klettverschluss, der nach dem Vorbild der Klette gestaltet wurde. Oder die Fassadenfarbe, die sich nach Art der Lotus-Blüte selbst reinigt. Weniger bekannt ist der Spinnennetz-Effekt: Um die Zerstörung ihrer Netze durch Vögel zu verhindern, nutzen Spinnen Materialien, die UV-Strahlung reflektieren. Für uns unsichtbar, nehmen Vögel dies als Hindernis wahr. Diesen Effekt kann man sich in Glasfassaden zunutze machen und die millionenfachen Kollisionen von Vögeln mit Glasflächen verhindern. Es geht aber nicht nur um innovative Produkte. Auch Prozesse und ganze Systeme können biologisch inspiriert sein.
