Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

The interplay between ion channels and T cell immunology has emerged as a pivotal area in both basic and translational research. Ion channels, particularly voltage‐gated potassium channels such as Kv1 ...

New fund-backed channel partnerships with Urban Edge Network and Global Fashion Channel to bring live sports and fashion into Ionic's channel portfolio at CES 2026 LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ ...

Unlike conventional computing hardware, biological computation occurs in wet, salty environments through carefully-controlled chemical and ionic transport between neurons. Their thin cellular ...

When a scrappy team of scientists joined forces in the late 1990s, they sought to identify genetic mutations that could have an outsized impact on the treatment of human disease. At the time, that ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers at Weill ...

Ion channels play a crucial role in many cellular processes, including neuronal communication, muscle contraction or cell proliferation. Most multi subunit ion channels exist in two functional states, ...

A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt from water without relying on the terminal electrodes found in every ...

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...
