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 ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute one of the largest families of membrane proteins and play a pivotal role in translating extracellular signals into diverse intracellular responses. A key ...
Potassium channels are essential membrane proteins that enable the selective and rapid transport of K⁺ ions, a process fundamental to cellular excitability and signal transduction. Recent research has ...
Researchers find blocking the KCNB2 gene can slow tumor growth, paving the way for next-gen treatments for childhood brain cancer. Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have ...
Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies. Washbowls, bathtubs, and sinks are all fitted ...
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 ...
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 ...
