Membrane potential (Vm), the voltage across the plasma membrane, arises because of the
presence of different ion channels/transporters with specific ion selectivity and permeability …

Potassium channels are transmembrane proteins that selectively facilitate the flow of
potassium ions down an electrochemical gradient. These molecules have been studied in …

Normal cell-cycle progression is a crucial task for every multicellular organism, as it
determines body size and shape, tissue renewal and senescence, and is also crucial for …

The human genome encodes 40 voltage-gated K+ channels (KV), which are involved in
diverse physiological processes ranging from repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action …

Biophysical signaling, an integral regulator of long-term cell behavior in both excitable and
non-excitable cell types, offers enormous potential for modulation of important cell functions …

All cells possess long-term, steady-state voltage gradients across the plasma membrane.
These transmembrane potentials arise from the combined activity of numerous ion channels …

Purpose: Ion channel activity is involved in several basic cellular behaviors that are integral
to metastasis (eg, proliferation, motility, secretion, and invasion), although their contribution …

Changes of the electrical charges across the surface cell membrane are absolutely
necessary to maintain cellular homeostasis in physiological as well as in pathological …

It is commonly accepted that cells require K+ channels to proliferate. The role (s) of K+
channels in the process is, however, poorly understood. Cloning of K+ channel genes …

Background Certain types of potassium channels (known as Eag1, KCNH1, Kv10. 1) are
associated with the production of tumours in patients and in animals. We have now studied …
