Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels Beyond the Action Potential
Bioelectricity, 2022 Bioelectricity goes far beyond electrical signaling in the nervous system, but this was initially not obvious for me. This article describes the journey from studying the biophysics of ion channels in classical electrically excitable tissues to focusing on the pathogenic roles of the Kv10.1 potassium channel in cancers.

Multiphysics‐Driven Assembly of Biomimetic Vesicles
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Artificial extracellular vesicles, derived from cell membranes, are manufactured using a multiphysics‐integrated microfluidic platform that combines nanoknife membrane rupture, herringbone chaotic mixing, and acoustothermal modulation. This standardizable workflow enables the predictable control of vesicle formation and therapeutic loading, while ...

Ion channels: structural basis for function and disease. [PDF]
, 1996 Ion channels are ubiquitous proteins that mediate nervous and muscular function, rapid transmembrane signaling events, and ionic and fluid balance. The cloning of genes encoding ion channels has led to major strides in understanding the mechanistic basis

Optimization of the leak conductance in the squid giant axon
, 2010 We report on a theoretical study showing that the leak conductance density, $\GL$, in the squid giant axon appears to be optimal for the action potential firing frequency.

Molecular dissection of I(A) in cortical pyramidal neurons reveals three distinct components encoded by Kv4.2, Kv4.3, and Kv1.4 alpha-subunits [PDF]
, 2010 The rapidly activating and inactivating voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) current, I(A), is broadly expressed in neurons and is a key regulator of action potential repolarization, repetitive firing, backpropagation (into dendrites) of action potentials, and ...

Calcium and Potassium Channels in Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Transient Global Ischemia
Stroke Research and Treatment, 2012 Healthy cerebrovascular myocytes express members of several different ion channel families which regulate resting membrane potential, vascular diameter, and vascular tone and are involved in cerebral autoregulation.

The conduction pore of a cardiac potassium channel. [PDF]
, 1998 Ion channels form transmembrane water-filled pores that allow ions to cross membranes in a rapid and selective fashion. The amino acid residues that line these pores have been sought to reveal the mechanisms of ion conduction and selectivity. The pore (P)

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.xx xx. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes, primarily caused by hyperglycemia, peripheral vascular disease, and neuropathy. Characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, impaired perfusion, inflammation, and infection, DFUs pose significant challenges to healing and are associated with high morbidity and amputation ...
