Mechanistic insights into sex differences in atrial electrophysiology and arrhythmia vulnerability through sex‐specific computational models

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sex‐specific models of the human atrial myocyte in normal sinus rhythm (nSR) and chronic atrial fibrillation (cAF) revealed increased alternans susceptibility in cAF males and DADs in females, driven primarily by ICaL and ryanodine receptor remodelling.

K2P channels and their protein partners. [PDF]

, 2005
A decade since their discovery, the K2P channels are recognized as pathways dedicated to regulated background leakage of potassium ions that serve to control neuronal excitability. The recent identification of protein partners that directly interact with

Functional expression of inwardly rectifying and ATP‐sensitive potassium channels in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle and endothelial cells

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Inwardly rectifying (Kir2) and ATP‐sensitive (KATP) potassium channels are functionally expressed in human pulmonary artery endothelial and smooth muscle cells. The schematic illustrates how Kir2‐ and KATP‐mediated K+ efflux contributes to VM regulation and pulmonary vascular tone.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

Distinct developmental dynamics of opposing persistent currents shape motoneuron firing during motor maturation of zebrafish

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During the first few days of development, zebrafish acquire the ability to produce increasingly refined movements that rely progressively less on the activity of primary motoneurons. At the same time, primary motoneurons undergo functional maturation, becoming increasingly capable of repetitive firing.

ORK1, a potassium-selective leak channel with two pore domains cloned from Drosophila melanogaster by expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

, 1996
A K+ channel gene has been cloned from Drosophila melanogaster by complementation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells defective for K+ uptake. Naturally expressed in the neuromuscular tissues of adult flies, this gene confers K+ transport capacity on yeast

ClC‐2 Contributes to Hypotonicity‐Induced Adrenal Aldosterone Secretion

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The zona glomerulosa (ZG) of the adrenal cortex regulates blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis through aldosterone production. In ZG cells, potassium and angiotensin II (Ang II) trigger calcium oscillations that drive aldosterone synthesis.

Discovery of a Novel and Potent Kir4.1 Inhibitor as a Safe and Rapid‐Onset Antidepressant Agent in Mice

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
The preferred derivative JX3212 demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against Kir4.1 with favorable druggability and shows significant antidepressant efficacy in vivo. Abstract Major depressive disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder for which novel and fast‐acting antidepressants are required.

Durable and Crack‐Resistant Dual‐Network C─Lignin‐Based Triboelectric Materials Enabled by Multiscale Crosslinking Strategy for Gait Monitoring and Identification

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This work proposed the multiscale crosslinking strategy to fabricate durable and crack‐resistant dual‐network C─lignin‐based triboelectric materials. The prepared PSGCL‐0.2 exhibited multifunctional properties, including mechanical strength, excellent cyclic stability, antibacterial properties, antioxidant activity, UV resistance, water retention ...

Oral Supplementation With a Bovine Thymus Extract Reduces Neuronal Excitability in Aging Mice

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Oral supplementation of aging mice with a nuclear fraction extract of bovine thymus (TNF) leads to significant increases in GAD65, GAD67, and β2/β3 subunits of the GABAA receptor, more so with high dose (HD) TNF treatment compared to low dose (LD) and control condition.
