The intricacies of excitable tissues, including cardiac, nervous, and skeletal muscle systems, pose substantial challenges in creating artificial analogs that can replicate their bioelectrical, ...

Cell-based models of excitable tissues offer the advantage of cell-level precision, which cannot be achieved using traditional homogenized electrophysiological models. However, this enhanced accuracy ...

Scientists have continually been seeking better ways to track the electrical activity of the body's most excitable cells, such as neurons, heart muscle fibers and pancreatic cells. These tiny ...

Environmental stressors such as radiation, pH shifts, temperature variations, and electromagnetic fields can trigger intracellular oxidative stress, upregulating voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) gene ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

When a mouthful of water goes down the “wrong pipe”—heading toward the lungs instead of the gut—it triggers uncontrollable coughing. That’s because the upper airway senses the water and quickly ...
