The diverse roles of TMEM16A Ca2+-activated Cl− channels in inflammation
Journal of Advanced Research, 2021 Background: Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) Ca2+-activated Cl− channels have diverse physiological functions, such as epithelial secretion of Cl− and fluid and sensation of pain.

Ion transport through cell membrane channels [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 We discuss various models of ion transport through cell membrane channels. Recent experimental data shows that sizes of ion channels are compared to those of ions and that only few ions may be simultaneously in any single channel. Theoretical description of ion transport in such channels should therefore take into account interactions between ions and ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Human Molecular Genetics, 2002 Ion channels serve many functions apart from electrical signal transduction: chemical signalling (Ca(2+) as a second messenger), transepithelial transport, regulation of cytoplasmic or vesicular ion concentration and pH, and regulation of cell volume. Therefore, ion channel dysfunction can cause diseases in many tissues.

A superfamily of small potassium channel subunits: form and function of the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs). [PDF]
, 1998 MinK and MinK-related peptide I (MiRPI) are integral membrane peptides with a single transmembrane span. These peptides are active only when co-assembled with pore-forming K+ channel subunits and yet their role in normal ion channel behaviour is ...

Channel Optical Waveguides and Directional Couplers in GaAs -- Imbedded and Ridged [PDF]
, 1973 Two-channel imbedded directional couplers were fabricated with proton implantation, yielding complete light transfer in 2 mm. Ridged channel guides were fabricated by ion-micromachining epitaxial layers, and a method of directional coupling was ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We identified adaptor protein ShcD as upregulated in triple‐negative breast cancer and found its expression to be correlated with reduced patient survival and increased invasion in cell models. Using a proteomic screen, we identified novel ShcD binding partners involved in EGFR signaling pathways.

Generalized microscopic theory of ion selectivity in voltage-gated ion channels [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Ion channels are specific proteins present in the membranes of living cells. They control the flow of specific ions through a cell, initiated by an ion channel's electrochemical gradient. In doing so, they control important physiological processes such as muscle contraction and neuronal connectivity, which cannot be properly activated if these channels
