Australia’s PowerCap has entered the US market with its sodium-ion stationary storage systems and plans to build a ...

New research reveals how tiny electrical gates in the brain, known as NMDA receptors, control learning, memory, and neuron ...

Ion selectivity is an important property of cell membrane ion channels. For example, potassium ion channels are more permeable to potassium ions than to sodium ions. The mechanism underlying the ready ...

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 ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications how calcium ions can block sodium ion channels located in cell membranes. Structural analysis and computer simulations made it ...

As information zings from cell to cell inside the brain, bursts of electricity spur its transmission. At Cold Spring Harbor ...

Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry’s Pain Research Center have developed a gene therapy that treats chronic pain by indirectly regulating a specific sodium ion channel, according to a new study ...

The National Institute of Health estimates that 100 million Americans, or around a third of the US population, live with a chronic pain condition. While the economic burden, more than US$500 billion ...

This study identifies a proton-gated channel in centipede antennae that conducts monovalent cations through proton ...

In "proof of concept" experiments with mouse and human cells and tissues, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have designed tiny proteins, called nanobodies, derived from llama antibodies, ...
