Ion channels and epilepsy [PDF]

QJM, 2006
In order for cells to retain their integrity to water and yet permeate charged ions, the phospholipid cell membrane contains transmembrane proteins that allow the passage of specific ions from the interior of the cell to outside, and vice versa. There is a huge diversity of these ion channels.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Regulation of mitochondrial potassium BKCa channel by naringenin derivatives: application of a new cellular model

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Reports
Mitochondrial potassium (mitoK) channels play a crucial role in mitochondrial and cellular physiology. One of the best described mitoK channels is the mitochondrial large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (mitoBKCa) channel.

Low‐Cost, Large‐Scale Nanoporous Metals by Mechanical Alloying, Oxide Reduction, and Dealloying of Powders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

Mepyramine targets mutant Nav1.7 channels to relieve pain and erythema in primary erythromelalgia patients

Frontiers in Medicine
Gain-of-function mutations in SCN9A, which encodes the Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel, are known to cause primary erythromelalgia (PEM). This condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of erythema, burning pain, and warmth in the extremities ...

Accessory and Central α-helices of Complexin Selectively Activate Ca2+ Triggering of Synaptic Exocytosis

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Complexins, binding to assembling soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes, activate Ca2+ triggered exocytosis and clamp spontaneous release in the presynaptic terminal. Functions of complexin are structural dependent and mechanistically

What have we learned from two-pore potassium channels? Their molecular configuration and function in the human heart [PDF]

, 2012
Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) control excitability, stabilize the resting membrane potential below firing threshold, and accelerate repolarisation in different cells.

Planar Solid‐State Nanopores Toward Scalable Nanofluidic Integration Based on CMOS Technology

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We present a scalable silicon‐based fabrication strategy for planar solid‐state nanopores to enable their integration with complex nanofluidic systems. Prototype devices demonstrate normal voltage‐current characteristics, good noise performance, and appreciable streaming currents. Our CMOS‐compatible fabrication process offers precise geometric control

Electrochemical Evaluation of Compressed Selective Laser Melted AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg Alloys in Chloride Environment

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The corrosion performance of AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg alloys produced through selective laser melting (SLM) was examined under compressive stress in a chloride environment. Electrochemical analyses, including open‐circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization (CPP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), were complemented by scanning ...
