McGuinness, Shen, Khalili-Araghi, Weber et al. reveal the role of #claudin-15 D55 residue in ion size & charge selectivity. A reduced model of claudin-15 offers novel insights into ion conductance, providing a valuable tool for therapeutic modulation of #TightJunctions rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Latest in Research News: a recent JGP study from Antonella Dapino and Sebastián Curti (rupress.org/jgp/article/...) reveals that the D-type K⁺ current regulates coincidence detection by shaping electrical transmission between pairs of MesV neurons. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Using a prepulse protocol on insect Caᵥ4 calcium channel, Cens, Charnet et al. @ibmm-balard.bsky.social report a current facilitation restricted to the descending branch of the I–V curve. Facilitation was less pronounced when a loop III-IV inactivation motif was mutated rupress.org/jgp/article/...

New work from Palloni, DiFrancesco et al. shows that AMPK inhibits HCN4 membrane expression by direct channel phosphorylation, and shows that this process contributes to age-dependent intrinsic cardiac rate slowing. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Electrical synapses enable neural circuits to perform as coincidence detectors. Dapino and Curti show that the temporal precision of this operation is critically determined by voltage-dependent conductances of the soma and proximal axon. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Really happy about this paper getting published, where we muse on some of the finer aspects of the permeablized fiber mechanics technique. Have things you wished were covered? Go write one of these up to! Science is better when we all share our "institutional knowledge"!
Review: @hesselanthony.bsky.social @crand22.bsky.social, Nguyen et al. provide useful tips and tricks for all those beginning their journey into permeabilized muscle fiber mechanics. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

New tutorial: Electrophysiological potentiation is calculated from the ratio of amplitudes of responses to agonist in the presence and absence of a modulator. Steinbach and Akk show that potentiation depends on the relative magnitude of the control response. rupress.org/jgp/article/...
