Recent advances in ion channel research

Recent advances in ion channel research.

The field of ion channels has entered into a rapid phase of development in the last few years, partly due to the breakthroughs in determination of the crystal structures of membrane proteins and advances in computer simulations of biomolecules. These advances have finally enabled the long-dreamed goal of relating function of a channel to its underlying molecular structure. Here we present simpl...

Advances in Ion Channel Research San Francisco

This international symposium dealt with ion channels in pain and neuroprotection. It consisted of five sessions, each with four to five presentations, three plenary lectures, and 50 posters. It was sponsored and organized by Roche Bioscience with additional support from Astra, Pfizer, Abbot, RBI, Merck, Novartis, Rhone-Poulenc and Wyeth. Approximately 400 academic and industrial scientists atte...

Recent Advances in BLV Research.

Different animal models have been proposed to investigate the mechanisms of Human T-lymphotropic Virus (HTLV)-induced pathogenesis: rats, transgenic and NOD-SCID/γcnull (NOG) mice, rabbits, squirrel monkeys, baboons and macaques. These systems indeed provide useful information but have intrinsic limitations such as lack of disease relevance, species specificity or inadequate immune response. An...

Recent Advances in SRE Research

The importance and the real potential of the Requirements Engineering is now being well recognized. A series of reversed as well as assorted researches are underway particularly on ‘ways to incorporate security right from the beginning’. Researchers are doing excellent work in this area. In this paper, we review current Secure Requirements Engineering (SRE) research and try to identify current ...
