Effects of membrane potentials on the electroporation of giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Living organisms maintain a resting membrane potential, which plays an important role in various biophysical and biological processes. In the context of medical applications, irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal and minimally invasive ...

Synaptic NMDA receptor activity at resting membrane potentials [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are crucial for glutamatergic synaptic signaling in the mammalian central nervous system. When activated by glutamate and glycine/D-serine, the NMDAR ion channel can open, but current flux is further regulated by voltage-dependent

Membrane potential modulates ERK activity and cell proliferation in human cells [PDF]
eLifePlasma membrane potential has been linked to cell proliferation for over 40 years in vertebrate cells. In this study, we experimentally demonstrated that membrane depolarization promotes mitosis and that this process depends on the voltage-dependent ...

Mitochondrial membrane potential [PDF]
Analytical Biochemistry, 2018 The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) generated by proton pumps (Complexes I, III and IV) is an essential component in the process of energy storage during oxidative phosphorylation. Together with the proton gradient (ΔpH), ΔΨm forms the transmembrane potential of hydrogen ions which is harnessed to make ATP.

On the accuracy of cell-attached current-clamp recordings from cortical neurons
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Cell-attached current-clamp (CA/CC) recordings have been proposed to measure resting membrane potential and synaptic/agonist responses in neurons without disrupting the cell membrane, thus avoiding the intracellular dialysis that occurs in conventional ...
