NMT's most popular field today is plant physiology — but creative scientists apply it to new fields every day, from diabetes to cancer research. Thanks to the customizable NMT Physiolyzer®, the possibilities are endless.
Functional readouts from living cells, tissues and organoids — earlier than morphology, closer to mechanism.
Paclitaxel-induced H⁺ influx in breast tumors; real-time tumor-margin delineation via the Warburg effect; drug-resistance mechanisms.
NMT-based sensitivity testing screens chemotherapy drugs on live patient-derived samples — matching the right drug to the right patient.
O₂ and Ca²⁺ fluxes of single neurons; Alzheimer's-related Ca²⁺ signaling; oral-cell based neurological risk prediction (NMT-NC-YG).
Islet-cell function and metabolic flux phenotyping for diabetes research.
K⁺ efflux as an early apoptotic indicator; Ca²⁺ fluxes of oocytes and embryos as viability markers.
Drug-efficacy evaluation with early functional readouts (H⁺, Ca²⁺, K⁺, O₂) from living cells and organoids.
The largest NMT community — stress physiology, nutrition, development and breeding.
Salinity (Na⁺ efflux, K⁺ retention), drought, extreme temperatures and heavy metals — with rapid screening instruments for breeding programs.
NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻ and K⁺ uptake at root surfaces; nitrogen-use efficiency — featured at the 23rd World Congress of Soil Science under the GiP framework.
IAA (auxin) flux mapping with the IAA Physiolyzer® — revealing opposite IAA patterns in monocot maize vs. dicot Arabidopsis.
O₂ and H⁺ fluxes from leaves and chloroplast-level samples, in solution or in air (NMT600-YG).
Mycorrhizae, nitrogen fixation and allelopathy — flux signatures of living interactions.
Ca²⁺ signatures, guard-cell dynamics and proton-pump activity in real time.
Living sensors for a changing planet.
Aquatic organisms' O₂ and H⁺ fluxes as sensitive, functional indicators of environmental hazards — an approach rooted in YoungerUSA's 2008 algal-bloom monitoring work.
Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ fluxes quantify uptake and detoxification in plants, algae and microbes used for remediation.
Rapid testing of rivers, lakes, seawater, industrial discharge and drinking water with the portable MIC-100-YG ultramicro ion meter.
Yeast and bacterial metabolism; algae–bacteria granular sludge for wastewater treatment (O₂ fluxes).
Coral-bleaching early warning; diatom Cu²⁺ ecotoxicology; marine ecosystem monitoring.
Zebrafish standardized assays; gravitational-biology heritage from our NASA NSCORT service years.
The TiP sub-project applies imOmics to TCM mechanisms; NMT also serves materials and corrosion research.
