This type of ion channels may play a role in the development of heart attacks, strokes, and tumors, for these diseases are accompanied by an acidification in the affected tissue.

At the recent ATS meeting, Tavanta Therapeutics Inc. introduced TAVT-135, a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) conjugate that acts as a chloride ion (Cl-) transporter. The product is currently being ...

When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an ion. The atom that loses an electron becomes a positive ion. The atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion. A positive and negative ...

Chloride-ion battery (CIB): A rechargeable battery that relies on the reversible movement of chloride ions between electrodes, aiming to combine safety and performance advantages.

Wearable Ion Sensors for the Detection of Sweat Ions Fabricated by Heat-Transfer Printing. ACS Sensors, 2023; DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.3c01027 ...

Scientists have developed a membrane that can be tuned to selectively enhance or suppress ion flow, mimicking how living ...

Scientists identified a previously unknown chloride ion channel, which they named alkaliphile (Alka), as a taste receptor for alkaline pH. The sense of taste is among the first to come into ...

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Being on the other side of the retinal molecule now, the chloride ion has reached a point of no return. From here, it goes only further inside the cell.

Chloride ion diffusion is one of the leading culprits of concrete highway damage. This is most often a result of deicers applied to highways, meant to keep roads safe from snow and ice.

Researchers have engineered ultra-thin ion-selective membranes with sub-2-nanometre channels, enabling more efficient clean ...
