Effects of Matrix pH on Spontaneous Transient Depolarization and Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Mitochondria

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidize surrounding molecules and thus impair their functions. Since mitochondria are a major source of ROS, suppression of ROS overproduction in the mitochondria is important for cells.

The Multi-Conductivity Clausius-Mossotti Factor as an Electrophysiology Rosetta Stone: Dielectrophoresis, Membrane Potential and Zeta Potential. [PDF]

open access: yesMicromachines (Basel)
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has been used for decades to estimate the passive electrical properties of cells. However, the body of work on cell electrophysiology derived from Clausius–Mossotti analysis of DEP-derived data pales to insignificance against the ...

Light/Clock Influences Membrane Potential Dynamics to Regulate Sleep States

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
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.

Cell-Based Phenotyping Reveals QTL for Membrane Potential Maintenance Associated with Hypoxia and Salinity Stress Tolerance in Barley

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Waterlogging and salinity are two major abiotic stresses that hamper crop production world-wide resulting in multibillion losses. Plant abiotic stress tolerance is conferred by many interrelated mechanisms.

De Novo Emergence of Peptides That Confer Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesmBio, 2019
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.

Monitoring Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition of Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Investigation of Mitochondrial Dysfunction

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2020
In this protocol, we introduced a method of measuring mitochondrial dysfunction to confirm the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic cancer cells under a hypoxic environment. There are many expertized and complicated methods to verify EMT.

Modulatory Effects of Acidic pH and Membrane Potential on the Adsorption of pH-Sensitive Peptides to Anionic Lipid Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Anionic lipid membrane electrostatic potential and solution pH can influence cationic peptide adsorption to these bilayers, especially those containing simultaneously acid and basic residues.

Macroscopic control of cell electrophysiology through ion channel expression

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Cells convert electrical signals into chemical outputs to facilitate the active transport of information across larger distances. This electrical-to-chemical conversion requires a tightly regulated expression of ion channels.

A Novel Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel Controls Membrane Potential and Intracellular pH in Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Trypanosoma cruzi develops in environments where nutrient availability, osmolarity, ionic concentrations, and pH undergo significant changes. The ability to adapt and respond to such conditions determines the survival and successful transmission of T ...

Calcium Signaling in Plant-Insect Interactions

open access: yesPlants, 2022
In plant–insect interactions, calcium (Ca2+) variations are among the earliest events associated with the plant perception of biotic stress. Upon herbivory, Ca2+ waves travel long distances to transmit and convert the local signal to a systemic defense ...
