Abstract: Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) belong to the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel protein family that form mechanosensitive ion channels. Evidence as to whether or not ASICs activity is directly modulated by mechanical force is lacking. Human ASICs… read more here.

Abstract: Optimal resource allocation is crucial to bacterial physiology and necessitates strategic metabolic decisions. One such evolutionary adaptation was the shift to high-potential respiratory chains following Earth’s Great Oxidation Event. Respiratory quinones, key redox-active electron carrier… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2021.735414
Abstract: Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases as well as pain conditions. Classically, ASICs are described as transiently activated by a reduced pH, followed by desensitization; the activation… read more here.
