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.

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2021
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.

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.

The ion-step-induced response of membrane-coated ISFETs: theoretical description and experimental verification [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
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]

open access: yesBlood, 1983
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.

Myography of isolated blood vessels: Considerations for experimental design and combination with supplementary techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
The study of the mechanisms of regulation of vascular tone is an urgent task of modern science, since diseases of the cardiovascular system remain the main cause of reduction in the quality of life and mortality of the population.

Effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound on Liposomes Containing Channel proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Electrically induced bacterial membrane-potential dynamics correspond to cellular proliferation capacity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Transmembrane voltage in bacteria plays a central role both in electrical signaling and cell proliferation. However, whether proliferation state influences the response to electrical signals was unknown.

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.
