Potential roles of voltage-gated ion channel disruption in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a lynchpin disorder, as it results in overactive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which has been implicated in a multitude of disease states.

Cooperative Goniopolar and Anomalous Nernst Transverse Thermoelectricity in Kagome Magnets

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A cooperative transverse thermoelectric mechanism is realized in kagome magnets, where axis‐dependent goniopolar effects and Berry curvature‐driven anomalous Nernst coexist within the same energy window. In MgMn6Sn6, this intrinsic synergy yields a record room‐temperature transverse thermopower of 15.6 µV K−1, establishing a general strategy for high ...

Suramin-Induced Neurotoxicity: Preclinical Models and Neuroprotective Strategies

Molecules, 2018
Suramin is a trypan blue analogon originally developed to treat protozoan infections, which was found to have diverse antitumor effects. One of the most severe side effects in clinical trials was the development of a peripheral sensory-motor ...

Poly(Alkoxythiophene) Rod‐Coil Block Copolymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present the first synthesis of poly(3‐alkoxythiophene) rod‐coil block copolymers as a new architecture for OMIECs. Incorporating PEG and PLLA coils can enhance device performance beyond the homopolymer. The figure‐of‐merit depends uniquely on coil length.

Structural bases of inhibitory mechanism of CaV1.2 channel inhibitors

Nature Communications
The voltage-gated calcium channel CaV1.2 is essential for cardiac and vessel smooth muscle contractility and brain function. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that malfunctions of CaV1.2 are involved in brain and heart diseases.

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav 1.8, regulates calcium dynamics in the dorsal root ganglion induced by cold nociceptive stimulus.

PLoS ONE
Nociceptive pain responses are mediated by neurons in the dorsal root ganglion. Certain voltage-gated sodium channels, such as Nav 1.8, are necessary for action potential firing and sensing pain.

Molecular and functional characterization of voltage-gated sodium channels in human sperm

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background We have investigated the expression of voltage-gated sodium channels in human spermatozoa and characterized their role in sperm motility. Methods Freshly ejaculated semen was collected from thirty normozoospermic human donors, with each donor ...
