ION Television is set to broadcast several top WNBA games this season on Fridays as a slew of generational talent joins the league in 2024. That includes top names like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers have ...

Ion channels enable passive ion flow towards equilibrium, which is driven by ion concentration differences across the membrane and the membrane potential (the difference electric potential between the ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified two ion channel switches that regulate the release of dopamine in the brain, a first step that might one day lead to therapeutics for a wide range of diseases and disorders ...

As we interact with the world, we feel it when we touch things. The information we get from touch sensations helps us carry out many daily activities, from typing on a keyboard to handling food.

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 ...
