DURHAM, N.C. – By altering the genetic makeup of normally "unexcitable" cells, Duke University bioengineers have turned them into cells capable of generating and passing electrical current. This ...

Electrically excitable cells are important in the normal functioning and in the pathophysiology of many biological processes. These cells are typically embedded in dense, heterogeneous tissues ...

Neurons are often referred to as electrically excitable cells, transmitting data to and from the brain through electrical impulses called action potentials. In the field of neuroscience, it was a ...

million wisdom teeth are removed every year, but the process of sending them to a biobank could be very simple.

It has been 60 years since scientists discovered that sodium channels create the electrical impulses crucial to the function of nerve, brain, and heart cells—all of which are termed "excitable." ...

Excitable cells: Tracking the evolution of electrical signaling in plants Date: September 3, 2020 Source: University of Tasmania Summary: A new study has furthered our understanding of plant ...

Voltage-gated calcium channels open in unison, rather than independently, to allow calcium ions into and activate excitable cells such as neurons and muscle cells, researchers with UC Davis Health ...

Excitable cells Tracking the evolution of electrical signalling in plants Peer-Reviewed Publication. University of Tasmania. A study led by ...

It is known that specialized proteins known as sodium channels found in cell membranes produce electrical impulses in “excitable” cells within muscles, the nervous system, and the heart. And in ...

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have shown how a minimal change in a single ion channel increases the sensitivity of sensory cells in the inner ear. Even soft sounds ...
