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 ...

A faulty ion channel function is a consistent biological feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

The interplay between ion channels and T cell immunology has emerged as a pivotal area in both basic and translational research. Ion channels, particularly voltage‐gated potassium channels such as Kv1 ...

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 ...

They are literally channels for communication: Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and play a crucial role in the ...

Researchers have revealed how a channel that controls cellular potassium levels causes metabolic rewiring in breast cancer cells, promoting tumour growth. Researchers have revealed how a channel that ...

Recently, researchers developed a non-invasive method combining electrical impedance tomography and extracellular voltage activation to evaluate drug effects on ion channels. The resulting printed ...

Chloride ion flows that enter the cells play an important role in the duplication of glioblastoma cells, a highly aggressive brain tumor. This is the finding of research recently published in the ...

Two studies by scientists at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a new way to look into the inner workings of cells—in particular, to track the flow of ions inside the many tiny organelles ...
