Electrochemistry for bio-device molecular communication: The potential to characterize, analyze and actuate biological systems

We describe an approach to access redox information through interactive electrochemical probing that is analogous to sonar. Tailored electrical inputs are coupled with diffusible redox mediators (electron shuttles) to access redox information in a local environment and generate complex but interpretable electrical output signatures. We use results from recent experimental demonstrations to illustrate the opportunity for redox to bridge bio-device communication.
