Potassium spatial buffering There are some discrepancies among studies on expression of these channels in the stated locations. The panglial syncytium is a large network of interconnected glial cells, which are extensively linked by gap junctions. The panglial syncytium spreads through central nervous system where it p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20445291 |
Potassium spatial buffering Like other glial cells, the high selectivity of Muller cell membranes to potassium ions is due to the high density of Kir channels. Potassium conductance is unevenly distributed in Muller cells. By focally increasing potassium ions along amphibian Muller cells and recording the resulting dep... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20445291 |
Potassium spatial buffering Therefore, they hypothesized that the potassium released to extracellular compartment during axonal activity entered and depolarized nearby astrocytes, where it was transported away by unfamiliar mechanism, which caused depolarization on astrocytes distant from site of stimulation. The propo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20445291 |
Potassium spatial buffering With impairment in gap junction coupling between astrocytes, myriad of abnormalities in potassium buffering occurs which results in increased extracellular potassium concentration and may predispose to neuronal hyperexcitability and seizures. According to a study done on animal model, connex... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20445291 |

Hugh Couchman is a Canadian astronomer and professor at McMaster University. He is a computational astrophysicist who studies the growth of structure in the universe via gravitational N-body simulations. Couchman received both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cambridge University. In his final year as an und... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20454705 |
Ionospheric Occultation Experiment The (IOX) was a remote sensing satellite package that used a dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to measure properties of the ionosphere. IOX demonstrated remote sensing techniques for future United States Department of Defense space systems and helped to improve o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20455445 |
Nanomagnet A nanomagnet is a submicrometric system that presents spontaneous magnetic order (magnetization) at zero applied magnetic field (remanence). The small size of nanomagnets prevents the formation of magnetic domains (see single domain (magnetic)). The magnetization dynamics of sufficiently small nanomagnets at... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20480367 |
Nanomagnet Other systems presenting remanence are nanoengineered Fe chains, deposited on CuN/Cu(100) surfaces, showing either Neel or ferromagnetic ground states with in systems with as few as 5 Fe atoms with S=2. Canonical single-molecule magnets are the so-called Mn and Fe systems, with 12 and 8 transition metal atom... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20480367 |
Glidant A glidant is a substance that is added to a powder to improve its flowability. A glidant will only work at a certain range of concentrations. Above a certain concentration, the glidant will in fact function to inhibit flowability. In tablet manufacture, glidants are usually added just prior to compression. Exam... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20490276 |
Sonoporation Sonoporation, or "cellular sonication", is the use of sound (typically ultrasonic frequencies) for modifying the permeability of the cell plasma membrane. This technique is usually used in molecular biology and non-viral gene therapy in order to allow uptake of large molecules such as DNA into the cell, in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20497041 |
Sonoporation Measurement of the acoustics used in sonoporation is listed in terms of mechanical index, which quantifies the likelihood that exposure to diagnostic ultrasound will produce an adverse biological effect by a non-thermal action based on pressure. uses microbubbles for significantly enhancing transfection, a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20497041 |
Chasing Kangaroos Chasing Kangaroos: A Continent, a Scientist, and a Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Creature, is a 2007 book () by Professor Tim Flannery. The book draws on three decades of travel, research, and field work to explore Australia's kangaroo. Seventy species make up the kangaroo family, which in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20497431 |
Otto Andreas Lowson Mörch (his last name also spelled Mørch) (17 May 1828 – 25 January 1878) was a biologist, specifically a malacologist. He lived in Sweden, in Denmark, and in France. Bibliography and taxa described by include: 1863 1864 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20501785 |
Maternity den A maternity den, in the animal kingdom, is a lair where the mother gives birth and nurtures the young, when they are in a vulnerable life stage. While such dens are typically subterranean, they may also be snow caves or simply beneath rock ledges. Characteristically there is an entrance, and optionally an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20505600 |
