Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of cells and tissues. It explains how nerve cells, muscle cells, and cardiac cells generate and transmit electrical signals that control ...

Patients in neurocritical care are often vulnerable to secondary brain injury, wherein spreading depolarization (SD) is identified as a pivotal electrophysiological catalyst. This study consolidates ...

A new study reveals that the predictive power of key inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, shifts fundamentally depending on whether a patient suffers from cirrhosis or acute/chronic ...

This important paper employs multiple experimental approaches and presents evidence that changes in membrane voltage directly affect ERK signaling to regulate cell division. This result is relevant ...

People with temporal lobe epilepsy in particular often wander around aimlessly and unconsciously after a seizure. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the ...

The human heartbeat is not just a mechanical process—it's powered by precisely timed electrical signals known as cardiac action potentials. These signals arise from finely regulated ion shifts across ...

Brugada syndrome (BrS), a genetic disorder affecting cardiac ion channels, predominantly manifests due to mutations that impair the function of the Nav1.5 sodium channel’s α-subunit. This condition, ...

Nicholas O. Stephanopoulos is the Kirkland and Ellis professor of law at Harvard Law School. Here’s a shocker: One of the unnoticed themes of the recent election was depolarization. The electoral ...

As Americans digest the result of this week’s presidential election and wonder about the future of their country and its politics, they must reckon with the fact that political polarization seldom ...
