Article Abstract
The attenuated total reflection spectroscopy system with the Si container attached on the prism has been demonstrated as an efficient technique to obtain the dielectric properties of living cells in the THz range. We proposed a method to determine the dielectric responses of living cells based on the combination of the single-interface and two-interface ATR models without cell thickness. The experimental results for living glial-like cells (PC12, SVG P12 and HMO6) showed the dielectric responses in the THz region were related significantly to cell number, intracellular fluid, and cell structure. Moreover, the glioma cells (C6 and U87) exhibited different dielectric properties compared with the glial-like cells, which could be one reason for the glioma tissue diagnosis using THz wave.

Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a movement disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the sacsin gene. The most common hallmark of this disease is the disruption of intermediate filament networks in cells as diverse as neurons, kidney cells, fibroblasts, astroglia and microglia. Intermediate filaments are the main filaments responsible for the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of cells and tissues, but these have never been investigated in the context of ARSACS.

Taste buds comprise 50-100 epithelial-derived cells, including glial-like cells (Type I) and two types of receptor cells (Types II and III). All of these taste cells are renewed throughout the life of an organism from a pool of uncommitted basal cells. Immature cells enter the bud at its base, maturing into one of the three differentiated cell types.

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-selective channel expressed in glial cells throughout the central nervous system (CNS). It serves as the primary water channel in the neuropil and plays roles in physiological functions, including regulating water homeostasis by adjusting cell volume and modulating neuronal activity. Different isoforms of AQP4 are expressed in glial-like cells known as sustentacular cells (SUSs) of the olfactory epithelium (OE).

Taste buds, the end organs of taste, consist of a diverse population of sensory cells that is constantly renewed. Cell differentiation begins with Type IV basal cells, which are ovoid elements located inside the taste bud near its base. These cells are postmitotic precursors that give rise to all other cell types, including glial-like cells (Type I cells) and chemoreceptors (Type II and Type III cells).

Once believed to be the culprits of epileptogenic activity, the functional properties of balloon/giant cells (BC/GC), commonly found in some malformations of cortical development including focal cortical dysplasia type IIb (FCDIIb) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), are beginning to be unraveled. These abnormal cells emerge during early brain development as a result of a hyperactive mTOR pathway and may express both neuronal and glial markers. A paradigm shift occurred when our group demonstrated that BC/GC in pediatric cases of FCDIIb and TSC are unable to generate action potentials and lack synaptic inputs.
