A team led by Christian Baumgartner of the Institute of Health Care Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights ...

The interplay between ion channels and T cell immunology has emerged as a pivotal area in both basic and translational research. Ion channels, particularly voltage‐gated potassium channels such as Kv1 ...

The immune regulatory protein STING has a previously unknown function: acting as an ion channel that allows protons to leak into cells. This discovery makes it the first human immune sensor that can ...

Ion channels enable passive ion flow towards equilibrium, which is driven by ion concentration differences across the membrane and the membrane potential (the difference electric potential between the ...

Axxam S.p.A., a premier provider of integrated early drug discovery services, and B'SYS GmbH, a specialist in ion channel biology, are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration focused on enabling ...

Tunable red to green emissions in upconversion nanoparticles allow precise identification of single particles, enabling ...

In nature, the cell membrane has a unique function of protecting the internal from the external environment and communicating outside by sensing the external chemical or physical stimuli like the most ...

As we interact with the world, we feel it when we touch things. The information we get from touch sensations helps us carry out many daily activities, from typing on a keyboard to handling food.

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...
