The cardiac pacemakers: A paradigm of robustness in evolutionary biology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Functional networks in living systems are formed by many thousands of gene products. In association with those networks, several genes (four in this diagram) may be sufficient, each on its own, to ensure that the function occurs. Any one of these may be removed or blocked while leaving the others to continue functioning.

Gap junctional and ephaptic coupling in cardiac electrical propagation: homocellular and heterocellular perspectives

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intricate cellular electrical coupling networks in the heart. Various cell types couple the central cardiomyocyte through gap junctional contacts, with the exception of neurons. Whether ephaptic coupling (EpC) occurs in homocellular or heterocellular contexts beyond cardiomyocyte–cardiomyocyte interactions remains unclear ...

The mysterious middlemen making your vision pop: understanding the function of amacrine cells

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This review aims to illustrate the diversity and function of amacrine cells in the retina. The diversity of amacrine cell subtypes is depicted based on morphology, stratification and neurotransmitter expression, along with their synaptic connectivity with bipolar and ganglion cells, emphasizing inhibitory and modulatory roles ...
