The dynamic current generated Na⁺/K⁺ pump interacts with the h-current to control the bursting activity of oscillator heart interneurons.

Simultaneous measurements of ligand binding and channel currents are used to understand gating of the ATP-sensitive K⁺ channel.

A combined FRET- and electrophysiology-based approach is used to study ATP/ADP ADP binding to the stimulatory nucleotide binding site of ATP-sensitive K+ channels and investigate their activation mechanism.

Autism-associated iPSC-derived neurons mutant in CNTN5 or EHMT2 are hyperactive.

Melainabacteria, a candidate phylum related to Cyanobacteria, has been identified in gut and sediment samples by genomic analysis.

Charybdotoxin, a toxin produced by scorpions, blocks a K⁺ channel by binding in a lock-and-key fashion to the mouth of the channel and presenting a lysine amino group, which serves as a K⁺ mimic in the selectivity filter.

Live imaging and physical perturbations of spindles with unfocused poles reveal that mammalian spindle length emerges locally from kinetochore-fibers, but that global cues from focused spindle poles are needed to coordinate k-fibers across space and time and accurately segregate chromosomes.

William R Bishai, director of the KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV (K-RITH), argues that the best place to carry out research into a disease is in its midst.

Post-acute or long-COVID is associated with bystander T-cell activation and a recurring antimicrobial resistant, bacterial ventilator-associated pneumonia.
