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 ...
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are critical molecular sensors that link cellular metabolism with membrane excitability. Composed of inward rectifier potassium channel subunits coupled to ...
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 ...
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 ...
Share on Pinterest A recent study shows that consuming high levels of sodium is associated with cognitive decline while a diet high in potassium is linked to improved cognitive function. Gillian ...
Ion selectivity is an important property of cell membrane ion channels. For example, potassium ion channels are more permeable to potassium ions than to sodium ions. The mechanism underlying the ready ...
