A stochastic model of ion channel cluster formation in the plasma membrane proposes that random yet probabilistic interactions between ion channels contribute to the formation of homo-clusters [24].

Compared with conventional anticancer strategies, targeted therapy and drug delivery systems offer several benefits that enhance treatment efficacy, safety, and precision. However, their efficacy can ...

Target-based drugs are one of the growing research areas to identify potential drugs for a particular target body part. The number of ion channels open at a particular time could be used to determine ...

Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are involved in many pathophysiological processes and represent a relevant target for drug discovery. In this work, we developed a novel setup based on a microfluidic ...

Ion channels articles from across Nature Portfolio Atom RSS Feed Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading ...

Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (maxi-K channels) have an essential role in the control of excitability and secretion. Only one gene Slo is known to encode maxi-K channels ...

Nathan MacKinnon had a gift for singer Jelly Roll after his show on Sunday in Denver. The Colorado Avalache forward met with the Grammy Award-nominated singer after his concert at Empower Field at ...
