A new understanding of how drugs are taken in by cells could impact the way drugs are administered to patients. In an Aug. 30 study published in Nature that details structural changes of the Transient ...

When a scrappy team of scientists joined forces in the late 1990s, they sought to identify genetic mutations that could have an outsized impact on the treatment of human disease. At the time, that ...

The field of optogenetics has revolutionised our ability to manipulate neuronal circuits by harnessing light-sensitive ion channels to control cellular activity with unprecedented precision. At its ...

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 ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

A new study has unveiled a precise picture of how an ion channel found in most mammalian cells regulates its own function with a 'ball-and-chain' channel-plugging mechanism. The findings boost the ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a team led by Annette Hammes from the Max Delbrück Center reports in "Nature ...
