The protein was subsequently purified from the extract of the synapse rich Torpedo electric organ and, based on the observed aggregating activity, was named "agrin", coming from Greek "ageirein" which means "to assemble" [2].
The hydraulic conductivity of bilayers made from the total extract of E. coli lipids increased 3-fold if reconstituted with AqpZ, but electric conductance was unchanged.
To extract useful amounts of electric current from electrode materials, these materials have to be spread in very thin layers over sheets of foil, which take up a lot of volume inside the cell.
In addition, the microdevice is pneumatically actuated using air, preventing damages in the extracted volumes because of electric fields and minimizing the actuation cost because inert gas sources are not necessary.

Law-enforcement workers in Mexico regularly obtain information through torture, and prosecutors use that evidence in courts, which accept confessions extracted with the help of electric shocks, beatings or sexual abuse, human rights groups say.
The lines of constant phase were extracted from the electric field map within the epithelial cells at a level of approximately 70 μm below the SC layer (10 μm) and after approximately 60 μm of epithelial cells.
Media captionBBC's Quentin Somerville said the report details use of electric shock to extract confessions.
Li, F., Xu, Z. & Zhang, S. The effect of polar nanoregions on electromechanical properties of relaxor-PbTiO3 crystals: extracting from electric-field-induced polarization and strain behaviors.
The proposed method calculates ICC values by capturing the off-trend voltage drop and the voltages are extracted from Service and Management Center of electric vehicles.
