Thus, the pore theory, originally conceived for osmosis and ultrafiltration, received its definitive proof in biology by application to ion channels of excitable membranes. Happily, the theory has ...

and the simple design and excellent performance make it a promising tool for practical application in drug development to treat ion channel-related diseases.

Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons, muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them use ion channel receptors to convert chemical or mechanical messages ...

Unsubstituted π-electronic systems with expanded π-planes are highly desirable for improving charge-carrier transport in ...
