NKCC1 is a human chloride transporter that has the ability to transport sodium, potassium, and chloride from the exterior into cells. In the kidney, for example, NKCC1 type proteins ensure that these ...

(Nanowerk News) What’s the best way to precisely manipulate a material’s properties to the desired state? It may be straining the material’s atomic arrangement, according to a team led by researchers ...

A research team at Penn State has uncovered a potential method for precisely manipulating a material's properties by altering its atomic arrangement. Their discovery suggests that "atomic spray ...

Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells, are crucial in neuronal 'firing' in the central nervous system and for brain and heart function. These channels use a ...

THE hyperfine structure of the resonance lines (7699 and 7665 A.) of potassium has been investigated by means of absorption in a potassium atomic ray. The lines were obtained in emission from a ...

The so-called NKCC1 protein is found throughout the human body where it has important functions in organs that process fluids or perform neurotransmission. A research team has now determined a ...
