A Latin American Perspective on Ion Channels.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ion channels, both ligand- and voltage-gated, play fundamental roles in many physiologic processes. Alteration in ion channel function underlies numerous pathologies, including hypertension, diabetes, chronic pain, epilepsy, certain cancers, and neuromuscular diseases. In addition, an increasing number of inherited and de novo ion channel mutations have been shown to contribute to disease states. Ion channels are thus a major class of pharmacotherapeutic targets.

O1: Defining Talent: A Cultural Perspective
What is talent? How can it be identified? Who is responsible for identifying it? Are there universally valued talents, or are they all culturally bound? There are at least three different levels of analysis to explore these questions. On the government level, we must philosophically decide on how our country chooses and expresses its values through what is taught, to whom, and for what periods ...
متن کاملSimulation study of the transport properties of ions through ion channels serving as primary components of a nanobiosensor
Ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. The ion channels control many physiological functions and they can show selectivity for a specific ion. Ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. The influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...

متن کاملThroughput Analysis over Power Line Communication Channel in an Electric Noisy Scenario
Powerline Communications –PLC– as an alternative method for broadband networking, has the advantage of transmitting over channels already used for electrical distribution or even transmission. But these channels have been not designed with usual wired channels requirements for broadband applications such as stable impedance or known attenuation, and the network have to reject noises caused by e...
متن کاملP 44: The Role of HCN Channels in T Cell Function
Ion channels play a major role in the regulation of T cell function in health and disease. In a computer-based model, established to simulate T cells’ membrane potential (VM) generation, we discovered a discrepancy between the simulation and patch-clamp recordings. The predicted VM was more hyperpolarized than the measured VM, indicating that a yet unknown, depolarizing ion current might ...
