Comparison of Langevin and Markov channel noise models for neuronal signal generation

open access: yes, 2009
The stochastic opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels produces noise in neurons. The effect of this noise on the neuronal performance has been modelled using either approximate or Langevin model, based on stochastic differential equations or ...

Gating and selectivity mechanisms for the lysosomal K+ channel TMEM175

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Transmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) is a K+-selective ion channel expressed in lysosomal membranes, where it establishes a membrane potential essential for lysosomal function and its dysregulation is associated with the development of Parkinson’s Disease.

Modulating the Mechanical Activation of TRPV4 at the Cell-Substrate Interface

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Ion channels activated by mechanical inputs are important force sensing molecules in a wide array of mammalian cells and tissues. The transient receptor potential channel, TRPV4, is a polymodal, nonselective cation channel that can be activated by ...

Stochastic modeling of excitable dynamics: improved Langevin model for mesoscopic channel noise

open access: yes, 2014
Influence of mesoscopic channel noise on excitable dynamics of living cells became a hot subject within the last decade, and the traditional biophysical models of neuronal dynamics such as Hodgkin-Huxley model have been generalized to incorporate such ...

Single-channel kinetics of BK (Slo1) channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Single-channel kinetics has proven a powerful tool to reveal information about the gating mechanisms that control the opening and closing of ion channels. This introductory review focuses on the gating of large conductance Ca2+- and voltage-activated K+

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

A superfamily of small potassium channel subunits: form and function of the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs). [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Photoswitching Conduction in Framework Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This mini‐review summarizes recent advances in state‐of‐the‐art proton and electron conduction in framework materials that can be remotely and reversibly switched on and off by light. It discusses the various photoswitching conduction mechanisms and the strategies employed to enhance photoswitched conductivity.
