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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

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 ...

Every hug, every handshake, every dexterous act engages and requires touch perception, and so understanding the molecular basis of touch is important. But to date, scientists had only known about one ...

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.

Researchers at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS), LMU Munich, TU Darmstadt and Nanion Technologies have now decoded the function of the TMEM175 ion channel, which is crucially ...
