Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.

Optimum Mode-Switching Assisted Adaptive Modulation

open access: yes, 2001
Adaptive modulation techniques combat fading by employing a suitable modulation mode depending on the instantaneous channel conditions for improving the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance or the average through-put.

When NCX switches sides: Experimental and computational insights into Ca2+ regulation in the heart

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Due to its presence inside the dyadic cleft, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) builds a functional unit together with L‐type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in the dyadic cleft. NCX acts bidirectionally (forward and reverse mode) dependent on extracellular calcium ([Ca2+]o) and sodium ([Na+]o) concentrations and the membrane ...

An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are

Multiscale mechanistic modelling of heterogeneity in cardiac sub‐cellular calcium handling accounting for variable t‐system density

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Illustration of spatial calcium dynamics (left panels) and the state cycle approximation (middle panel) that enables reduced simulation of spatially dependent dynamics without explicit description of space (right panels). The selected example here illustrates a spontaneous calcium wave, showing temporal snapshots of local calcium
