Light/Clock Influences Membrane Potential Dynamics to Regulate Sleep States
The circadian rhythm is a fundamental process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. This rhythm is regulated by core clock genes that oscillate to create a physiological rhythm of circadian neuronal activity.

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential
Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

The origin of novel genes and beneficial functions is of fundamental interest in evolutionary biology. New genes can originate from different mechanisms, including horizontal gene transfer, duplication-divergence, and de novo from noncoding DNA sequences.

The ion-step-induced response of membrane-coated ISFETs: theoretical description and experimental verification [PDF]
Recently a new method was introduced to operate an immunological field effect transistor (ImmunoFET). By changing the electrolyte concentration of the sample solution stepwise (the so-called ion-step), a transient diffusion of ions through the membrane ...

The membrane potential of human platelets [PDF]
Abstract The membrane potential of the human platelet was investigated using the membrane potential probes 3,3′-dipropyl-2,2′-thiadicarbocyanine iodide and tritiated triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide. The membrane potential in physiologic buffer was estimated to be 52–60 mV inside negative.

Effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound on Liposomes Containing Channel proteins. [PDF]
The ability to reversibly and non-invasively modulate region-specific brain activity in vivo suggests Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) as potential therapeutics for neurological dysfunctions such as epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
