The maintenance of ion channel homeostasis, or channelostasis, is a complex puzzle in neurons with extensive dendritic arborization, encompassing a combinatorial diversity of proteins that encode these channels and their auxiliary subunits, their localization profiles, and associated signaling machinery. Despite this, neurons exhibit amazingly stereotypic, topographically continuous maps of sev...

BACKGROUND This work investigates a general method for producing alginate gel matrices using an internal mode of gelation that depends solely on soluble alginate and alginate/gelling ion particles. The method involves the formulation of two-component kits comprised of soluble alginate and insoluble alginate/gelling ion particles. Gelling kinetics, elastic and Young's moduli were investigated fo...

The speciation of Ra2+ and Ba2+ with EDTA was investigated at 25 °C in aqueous alkaline NaCl media as a function of ionic strength (0.2-2.5 mol·L-1) in two pH regions where the EDTA4- and HEDTA3- species dominate. The stability constants for the formation of the [BaEDTA]2- and [RaEDTA]2- complexes were determined using an ion exchange method. Barium-133 and radium-226 were used as radiotracers ...

Lithium-ion battery development is one of the most active contemporary research areas, gaining more attention in recent times, following increasing importance energy storage technology. The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) has become a crucial method among various electrochemical analyses for research. During step GITT, which consists constant current pulse followed by rela...
