A transistor model for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator

open access: yesBiophysical Reports, 2023
In this paper we present a transistor circuit model for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that seeks to map the functional form of CFTR both in wild type and mutants.

Dendritic patch-clamp recording

open access: yesNature Protocols, 2006
The patch-clamp technique allows investigation of the electrical excitability of neurons and the functional properties and densities of ion channels. Most patch-clamp recordings from neurons have been made from the soma, the largest structure of individual neurons, while their dendrites, which form the majority of the surface area and receive most of ...

Nanotechnology: new opportunities for the development of patch‐clamps

open access: yesJournal of Nanobiotechnology, 2021
The patch-clamp technique is one of the best approaches to investigate neural excitability. Impressive improvements towards the automation of the patch-clamp technique have been made, but obvious limitations and hurdles still exist, such as ...

Permissive and nonpermissive channel closings in CFTR revealed by a factor graph inference algorithm

open access: yesBiophysical Reports, 2022
The closing of the gated ion channel in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator can be categorized as nonpermissive to reopening, which involves the unbinding of ADP or ATP, or permissive, which does not.

Robotic Fast Patch Clamp in Brain Slices Based on Stepwise Micropipette Navigation and Gigaseal Formation Control

open access: yesSensors
The patch clamp technique has become the gold standard for neuron electrophysiology research in brain science. Brain slices have been widely utilized as the targets of the patch clamp technique due to their higher optical transparency compared to a live ...

Protocol for simultaneous patch-clamp recording from tanycytes and neurons in living mouse brain slices

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Here, we present a protocol for tanycyte-neuron paired whole-cell patch-clamp recording in living mouse brain slices. We describe steps for mice generation, solution preparation, and dissection.

Patch Clamp Technique

open access: yesEquilibrium Research, 2008
The patch clamp technique enables the analyses of various ion channel characteristics of individual cells in vitro. The most important difference from previous techniques is that the microelectrode (pipette) is firmly attached to the cell surface instead of being inserted into the cells, and the so-called "giga-ohm seal" is attained. Usually, the whole

Evaluation of Optogenetic Electrophysiology Tools in Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Current cardiac drug safety assessments focus on hERG channel block and QT prolongation for evaluating arrhythmic risks, whereas the optogenetic approach focuses on the action potential (AP) waveform generated by a monolayer of human cardiomyocytes ...
