In favourable cases, this allows for analyte identification or for reaction monitoring.In the tissue engineering of cartilage, scaffolds with appropriate elasticity and controlled-release properties are essential. Herein, we synthesized a poly(ether-ester-urethane)urea scaffold with a pendant amino group (PEEUUN) through a de-protection process from PEEUU-Boc polymers and grafted kartogenin (KGN) onto the PEEUUN scaffolds (PEEUUN-KGN). Characterization, performance tests, scaffold biocompatibility analysis, and chondrogenesis evaluation both in vitro and in vivo were conducted. The results revealed that the PEEUUN-KGN scaffolds were degradable and three-dimensional (3D) with interconnected pores, and possessed good elasticity, as well as excellent cytocompatibility. Meanwhile, KGN on the PEEUUN-KGN scaffolds underwent stable sustained release for a long time and promoted human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) to differentiate into chondrocytes in vitro, thus enhancing cartilage regeneration in vivo. In conclusion, the present PEEUUN-KGN scaffolds would have application potential for cartilage tissue engineering.To examine the transport of an ionic substance through a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM), an electrochemical method combined with fluorometry was proposed. In this method, the transport of a fluorescent ion through the BLM was detected both as the transmembrane current and the dynamic change of fluorescence intensity synchronizing scanning membrane potential. The fluorescence intensity was measured in the local area close to the planar BLM by utilizing a confocal fluorescence microscope. The elect
