NATIONAL VIBRATING PROBE FACILITY

我们建议继续并扩大国家振动探头设施。 这一扩建应该会使该设施达到全部运营能力，并 让我们为全国(以及国外)的用户提供最好的服务。 它还应该允许我们开发出一系列离子特定的振动 探头和空中振动探头；扩大我们的测量范围 某些无质膜制剂的内源性离子电流； 继续我们对可能的水流的合作探索 生长神经的顶端以及各种胚胎的植物杆； 继续培训新用户并传播我们的发现和新闻 容量。 用户项目应该继续专注于各种不断增长和 发育中的系统以及成熟的、有功能的上皮细胞。此外， 它们应该包括具有医学和基本生物学价值的生物， 尤其是在伤口愈合和再生的一般领域。

We propose to continue and expand the National Vibrating Probe Facility. This expansion should bring the facility up to full operating capacity and allow us to best serve users throughout the country (as well as abroad). It should also allow us to develop a series of ion-specific vibrating probes and an aerial vibrating probe; to extend our measurements of endogenous ionic currents to certain plasmalemma-free preparations; to continue our collaborative exploration of possible currents through the tips of growing nerves as well as the vegetal poles of various embryos; and to continue training new users and disseminating news of our findings and capacities. The user projects should continue to focus on a wide variety of growing and developing systems as well as mature, functioning epithelia. Moreover, they should include ones of medical as well as basic biological interest, particularly in the general area of wound healing and regeneration.
