Cellular mechanisms of radiation‐induced myocyte dysfunction: effects on calcium handling, ion channel regulation and mitochondrial energetics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Dose‐dependent effects of radiation on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia susceptibility. At low radiation doses (left), increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiate an ROS–Ca2+ positive feedback loop involving calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation, enhanced L‐type Ca2+ current (ICaL ...

Electrodiffusion in cardiac intercalated disc nanostructures alters cell–cell action potential transmission via ephaptic coupling: A model study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ephaptic phenomena in a high‐resolution model of the cardiac intercalated disc. Meshed representation of a tortuous intercalated disc that was generated based on electron and super‐resolution microscopy data. Na+ channels (red) and gap junctions (green) are heterogeneously distributed, with additional regions of reduced ion ...

Effects of Connexin 43 Inhibition in an Ovalbumin-induced Mouse Model of Asthma

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2018
Connexion 43 (Cx43), a gap junction protein, is expressed abundantly in the airway and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the effects of blocking Cx43 in asthma remain unclear.

Intercalated disk structure, tissue heterogeneity and ion channel distribution modulate conduction and local calcium influx

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, three‐dimensional representation of cardiac intercalated disk, reduced to a 100‐partition, computationally efficient network representation. B, ion dynamics within intercalated disk extracellular cleft space. C, rapid pacing leads to localized conduction block in tissue with regions of perturbed intercalated disk (ID ...

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

The 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

Longer action potential duration in the Purkinje network than in the ventricular myocardium delays retrograde activation of the human His‐Purkinje system

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation time (AT) maps from right ventricular apical pacing in a human ventricles model with longer action potential duration in the His‐Purkinje system (HPS) than in the myocardium (MYO). For pacing with a long S1S2 coupling interval (CI), the AT from the myocardial pacing site to the first AT of the HPS (ATMYO) is longer ...

Age‐ and sex‐specific modulation of human cardiac electrophysiology by doxorubicin

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend DOX differentially impacts cardiac electrophysiology based on sex and age. Sex differences were primarily observed among younger hearts, where action potential duration (APD) prolongation was observed in females, but not in males. Created using BioRender. George, S. (2026) https://BioRender.com/wresf1k Abstract Acute doxorubicin (

Dorso‐Ventral and Night‐Day Regulation of Extracellular K+ Dynamics in Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hippocampal astrocytic K+ buffering varies by region and time. Ventral astrocytes show faster K+ accumulation due to reduced Kir4.1 function. Such regional divergence is modulated by circadian shifts in Kir4.1 and gap junction coupling. ABSTRACT Astrocytes regulate extracellular potassium (K+) through multiple mechanisms operating across distinct ...
