Evolving theoretical descriptions of heavy-ion fusion :from phenomenological to microscopic approaches [PDF]
, 2017 We overview the current status of theoretical approaches for heavy-ion fusion reactions at subbarrier energies. We particularly discuss theoretical challenges in the coupled-channels approach, that include i) a description of deep subbarrier hindrance of

Ion channel activity drives ion channel expression [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1998 During embryonic development, excitable cells acquire a repertoire of ion channels that finely tune their electrical properties. Although the mechanisms by which an excitable cell selects its complement of ion channels are poorly defined, cell-autonomous as well as non-autonomous programmes of differentiation have been implicated.

A TR(i)P to Cell Migration: New Roles of TRP Channels in Mechanotransduction and Cancer
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 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 ...

Ubiquitylation of Ion Channels
Physiology, 2005 Ubiquitylation (i.e., covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties to proteins) of ion channels allows regulation of their activity and fate. Nedd4/Nedd4-like ubiquitin-protein ligases bind to, ubiquitylate, and modulate the internalization of several channels bearing PY motifs, whereas endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (involving ...

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.

Role of the TRP Channels in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Development and Progression
Cells, 2021 The transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) have been related to several different physiologies that range from a role in sensory physiology (including thermo- and osmosensation) to a role in some pathologies like cancer.

Machine learning-assisted genomic profiling to identify differences between Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine strains and non-BCG wild-type Mycobacterium bovis [PDF]
PeerJ Computer ScienceBackground Distinguishing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccines from pathogenic Mycobacterium bovis is critical in neonatal diagnostics, particularly where polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods fail to detect key genomic variations in tuberculosis ...

Role of the CaV1.2 distal carboxy terminus in the regulation of L-type current
ChannelsL-type calcium channels are essential for the excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle. The CaV1.2 channel is the most predominant isoform in the ventricle which consists of a multi-subunit membrane complex that includes the CaV1.2 pore-forming ...
