Copper-transporting ATPase is important for malaria parasite fertility [PDF]
, 2013 Homeostasis of the trace element copper is essential to all eukaryotic life. Copper serves as a cofactor in metalloenzymes and catalyses electron transfer reactions as well as the generation of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species. Here, we describe

Homeostasis, failure of homeostasis and degenerate ion channel regulation
Current Opinion in Physiology, 2018 Most neurons express a wide variety of ion channels with diverse properties, providing a rich toolbox for tuning neural function. Coexpressed channel types are often degenerate: they share overlapping roles in shaping electrophysiological properties. This can allow one set of channels to compensate the role of others, thus making nervous systems robust

Metallochaperones regulate intracellular copper levels. [PDF]
, 2013 Copper (Cu) is an important enzyme co-factor that is also extremely toxic at high intracellular concentrations, making active efflux mechanisms essential for preventing Cu accumulation. Here, we have investigated the mechanistic role of metallochaperones

Effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]
, 2015 An important priority for any organism is to maintain internal cellular homeostasis including acidbase balance. Yet, the molecular level impacts of changing environmental conditions, such as low pH, remain uncharacterised.

Hypertension: Salt restriction, sodium homeostasis, and other ions
Indian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011 Salt is composed of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which in body water becomes essential electrolytes, viz., Sodium (Na⁺) and Chloride (Cl⁻) ions, including in the blood and other extracellular fluids (ECF). Na⁺ ions are necessary cations in muscle contractions and their depletion will effect all the muscles in body including smooth muscle contraction of blood

Role of iron oxide nanoparticles in maize (Zea mays L.) to enhance salinity stress tolerance
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-NapocaSoils have been getting worse over time, which has led to lower crop yields and nutritional value. This is because of too many conventional fertilizers, anthropogenic activities, and climate change.
