An international team involving the Institute of Chemical Research, a joint centre of the University of Seville and the Spanish National Research Council, has developed a new technique that will ...

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride) across cellular membranes. They play critical roles in numerous ...

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

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.

Ion channels are a class of transmembrane macromolecular pore proteins that enable specific types of ions to move across the cell membrane under the influence of electrochemical gradients, supporting ...
