Electrophysiological Mechanism of Catestatin Antiarrhythmia: Enhancement of Ito, IK, and IK1 and Inhibition of ICa‐L in Rat Ventricular Myocytes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death globally. Myocardial ischemia and infarction, in particular, frequently cause disturbances in cardiac electrical activity that can trigger ventricular arrhythmias.

The Drosophila Small Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel Negatively Regulates Nociception

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Inhibition of nociceptor activity is important for the prevention of spontaneous pain and hyperalgesia. To identify the critical K+ channels that regulate nociceptor excitability, we performed a forward genetic screen using a Drosophila larval ...

Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

Nicorandil-Induced Hyperkalemia in a Uremic Patient

Case Reports in Medicine, 2012
Nicorandil is an antianginal agent with nitrate-like and ATP-sensitive potassium channel activator properties. After activation of potassium channels, potassium ions are expelled out of the cells, which lead to membrane hyperpolarization, closure of ...

Potassium Channels and Neurovascular Coupling

Circulation Journal, 2010
Neuronal activity is communicated to the cerebral vasculature so that adequate perfusion of brain tissue is maintained at all levels of neuronal metabolism. An increase in neuronal activity is accompanied by vasodilation and an increase in local cerebral blood flow.

POM‐Based Water Splitting Catalyst Under Acid Conditions Driven by Its Assembly on Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A newly‐engineered POM‐based electrocatalyst incorporating non‐innocent counter cations exhibits fast kinetics for either the OER or HER under strongly acidic conditions (1 m H2SO4), depending on whether it is assembled on carbon nanotubes (1@CNT) or physically mixed with them (1/CNT). In water‐splitting tests using a two‐electrode setup, these systems

Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.

Potassium channel‐mediated NO‐induced vasodilation during maturation: Dominance of Kv7 channels

FASEB BioAdvances
Maturation represents a process characterized by adaptive changes, particularly in the circulatory system. However, it is not known whether, in neonates, potassium channels contribute to NO‐induced vasorelaxation at all and, if so, which potassium ...

Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–
