The transport of ions is essential to maintain electrophysiological balance on either side of the membrane, called osmotic balance, which is needed for signals to be transduced from their chemical ...

TREK1 was known as a voltage-independent 'background' potassium channel, but a new study suggests that protein kinase A can reversibly convert it to a voltage-dependent state. The resting membrane ...

became less negative). The transient depolarization was fol- lowed by a gradual repolarization of the membrane potential. In nitrogen-starved plants, the degree of depolarization was enhanced by ...

To examine gender differences in rate-corrected QT interval (QTc), an index of ventricular depolarization/repolarization, in young, trained men and women with lower ...
