| Abstract | Piezoelectricity in calcified and connective tissues has been known for over half a century following seminal works by Fukada. Traditionally, complex hierarchical structure of these materials, spanning the length scales from nanometers to millimeters, precluded quantitative studies, and hence elucidation of biological significance of biopiezoelectricity. Here, we demonstrate an approach for electromechanical imaging of structure of biological samples on the length scales from tens of microns to nanometers using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). In this method, intrinsic piezoelectricity of biopolymers such as proteins and polysaccharides is the basis for high-resolution imaging. Nanostructural imaging of a variety of protein-based materials, including tooth, antler, and cartilage is demonstrated. Visualization of protein fibrils with sub-10 nm spatial resolution in a human tooth is achieved. Given the near-ubiquitous presence of piezoelectricity in biological systems, PFM is suggested as a versatile tool for micro- and nanostructure imaging in both connective and calcified tissues. In the second part of the talk, I discuss recent advances in bioPFM, including imaging in liquid environments, resonance-enhanced PFM, and electrically shielded probes required to probe a broad range of electrophysiological processes from membrane flexoelectricity to cardiac miocyte activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
