Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...
Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a discovery that could open the door to new treatment strategies for ...
Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.
Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...
A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...
Arthur Brown, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of ChanTest, summed up the sentiments of a number of speakers at the recent “SBS Conference” in Lille, France, when he said, “Ion channels are as abundant ...
Axxam S.p.A., a premier provider of integrated early drug discovery services, and B'SYS GmbH, a specialist in ion channel biology, are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration focused on enabling ...
Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.
