Patch-clamp fluorometry: electrophysiology meets fluorescence.
Ion channels and transporters are membrane proteins whose functions are driven by conformational changes. Classical biophysical techniques provide insight into either the structure or the function of these proteins, but a full understanding of their ...

Whole-cell and Perforated Patch-clamp Recordings from Acutely-isolated Murine Sino-atrial Node Cells
Cardiac pacemaker cells of the sino-atrial node are responsible for the initiation of the heart beat and express an array of ion channels. The patch-clamp technique is the gold standard method for investigating the function of ion channels expressed in ...

Nanotechnology: new opportunities for the development of patch‐clamps
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 ...

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

The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel is a non-selective cation channel expressed with transient receptor potential ankyrin type 1 (TRPA1) in small and medial size neurons of the dorsal root ganglions and trigeminal ganglions.

Alpha-Adrenoceptor Antagonists Improve Memory by Activating -methyl-D-Aspartate-Induced Ion Currents in the Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
Purpose: Alpha1 (α1)-adrenoceptor antagonists are widely used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms. These drugs not only act on peripheral tissues, but also cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the central nervous system.

The patch-clamp technique in the study of secretion [PDF]
One of the basic cellular functions of virtually every cell type is the exocytotic release of molecules synthesized, stored and packaged into intracellular vesicles or granules. Over decades much effort has been concentrated on elucidating the chain of events leading to exocytosis.
