Inherited disorders of voltage-gated sodium channels [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2005
A variety of inherited human disorders affecting skeletal muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and nervous system function have been traced to mutations in genes encoding voltage-gated sodium channels. Clinical severity among these conditions ranges from mild or even latent disease to life-threatening or incapacitating conditions.

Conjugated Metal‐Organic Frameworks on Laser‐Induced‐Graphene Scaffold Enable Picomolar Sensitivity in Electrical Biosensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A controlled layer‐by‐layer growth process integrates conjugated metal‐organic framework thin films onto a hierarchical 3D laser‐induced graphene scaffold. When incorporated into an extended‐gate field‐effect transistor configuration, this synergistic hybrid platform achieves robust aptamer immobilization, driving highly selective, picomolar‐level ...

Additive‐Manufactured, Multifunctional Bioreactor Technology for Dynamic Culture of 3D Bioprinted Tissue Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels in the mammalian heart

Global Cardiology Science and Practice, 2014
Mammalian species express nine functional voltage-gated Na(+) channels. Three of them, the cardiac-specific isoform Nav1.5 and the neuronal isoforms Nav1.8 and Nav1.9, are relatively resistant to the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX; IC50 ≥ 1 μM). The other six isoforms are highly sensitive to TTX with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. These isoforms are

Biodegradable Wireless Soil Urea Sensor Using Metamaterial Perfect Absorber for Distributed Deployment in Precision Agriculture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we propose a biodegradable wireless soil urea sensor for precision agriculture. The sensor's electromagnetic response varies depending on the urea concentration, allowing the measurement of relative soil urea concentrations by analyzing the time‐transient electromagnetic response.

Voltage-Dependent Ion Channels in Vascular Endothelial Cells: An Unexpected Signaling Pathway in Non-Excitable Cells

Biomedicines
Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) are traditionally associated with electrically excitable cells; however, increasing evidence indicates that they are also expressed in non-excitable cells, including vascular endothelial cells.
