P2X receptors: epithelial ion channels and regulators of salt and water transport. [PDF]
When the results from electrophysiological studies of renal epithelial cells are combined with data from in vivo tubule microperfusion experiments and immunohistochemical surveys of the nephron, the accumulated evidence suggests that ATP-gated ion ...

A TR(i)P to Cell Migration: New Roles of TRP Channels in Mechanotransduction and Cancer
Cell migration is a key process in cancer metastasis, allowing malignant cells to spread from the primary tumor to distant organs. At the molecular level, migration is the result of several coordinated events involving mechanical forces and cellular ...

Role of the TRPV Channels in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Homeostasis
It has been widely established that transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels play a crucial role in calcium homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Multidimensional Regulation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Potassium Channels
Mitochondria play a fundamental role in the energetics of cardiac cells. Moreover, mitochondria are involved in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury by opening the mitochondrial permeability transition pore which is the major cause of cell death.

Structure and permeability of ion-channels by integrated AFM and waveguide TIRF microscopy. [PDF]
Membrane ion channels regulate key cellular functions and their activity is dependent on their 3D structure. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images 3D structure of membrane channels placed on a solid substrate.

A relativistic electron beam propagating through a plasma in the ion-focused regime exhibits an electromagnetic instability at a resonant frequency {omega} {approximately} 2{gamma}{sup 2} {omega}{sub {beta}}. Growth is enhanced by optical guiding in the ion channel, which acts as dielectric waveguide, with fiber parameter V {approximately} 2 (I/I{sub A}

TRPM8 Puts the Chill on Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in developed countries. Several studies suggest that variations in calcium homeostasis are involved in carcinogenesis. Interestingly, (Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin member 8)
