Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered functional links between dozens of potassium channel gene variants and neonatal epilepsy, according to a study published in JCI Insight. The findings ...
A key approach to understanding the brain is to observe the behavioral effects of turning on specific populations of neurons. One of the most popular approaches to controlling neuronal activity in ...
A new study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology underscores the importance of the channel protein polycystin-2 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the maintenance of kidney ...
Molecular dynamics simulations show how potassium passes through an ion channel at atomic resolution
They are literally channels for communication: Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and play a crucial role in the ...
A new study has unveiled a precise picture of how an ion channel found in most mammalian cells regulates its own function with a 'ball-and-chain' channel-plugging mechanism. The findings boost the ...
Molecular Devices, at SLAS 2015, launched a homogeneous, no-wash assay to measure ligand- and voltage-gated potassium channel activity. The FLIPR® Potassium Assay Kit uses a novel thallium-sensitive ...
