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.

Coronavirus membrane fusion mechanism offers a potential target for antiviral development

open access: yesAntiviral Research, 2020
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has focused attention on the need to develop effective therapies against the causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, and also against other pathogenic coronaviruses (CoV) that have emerged in the past or might appear

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 ...

Electrophysiology, Unplugged: Imaging Membrane Potential with Fluorescent Indicators.

open access: yesAccounts of Chemical Research, 2019
Membrane potential is a fundamental biophysical property maintained by every cell on earth. In specialized cells like neurons, rapid changes in membrane potential drive the release of chemical neurotransmitters.

Ling’s Adsorption Theory as a Mechanism of Membrane Potential Generation Observed in Both Living and Nonliving Systems

open access: yesMembranes, 2016
The potential between two electrolytic solutions separated by a membrane impermeable to ions was measured and the generation mechanism of potential measured was investigated.

Chemically modified field effect transistors: the effect of ion-pair association on the membrane potentials [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
A theoretical model has been developed which relates physically accessible parameters to the formation of a membrane potential. The description is an extension of a theoretical description presented previously by our group, now including divalent cations

Emerging Roles of the Membrane Potential: Action Beyond the Action Potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Whilst the phenomenon of an electrical resting membrane potential (RMP) is a central tenet of biology, it is nearly always discussed as a phenomenon that facilitates the propagation of action potentials in excitable tissue, muscle, and nerve. However, as

Membrane Potential Assessment by Fluorimetry as a Predictor Tool of Human Sperm Fertilizing Capacity

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Mammalian sperm acquire the ability to fertilize eggs by undergoing a process known as capacitation. Capacitation is triggered as the sperm travels through the female reproductive tract.
