Cardiac arrhythmias are among the leading causes of mortality. They often arise from alterations in electrophysiological properties cardiac cells and their underlying ionic mechanisms. It is therefore critical to further unravel pathophysiology basis human electrophysiology health disease. In first part this review, current knowledge on differences ion channel expression processes that determin...

Abstract PII superfamily consists of signal transduction proteins found in all domains life. PII-like evolved to fulfill diverse, yet poorly understood cellular functions. We recently identified the protein SbtB cyanobacteria as a sensor various adenine nucleotides including second messengers cAMP and c-di-AMP. This highlights central switch-point cyanobacterial physiology, integrating not only...

I have had the privilege of serving as Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Physiology: Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology from 1/1/2012 to 1/1/2015 and have been reappointed for another 3-year term. When I took over as editor, I published an editorial in AJP-Lung in which I highlighted my vision and outlined the tasks to be accomplished to transform AJP-Lung into "The best place to p...

Assessing the variety and quality of the articles presented in the biennial national congresses of physiology and pharmacology is important to investigators in these fields. Analytic assessment of these presentations are of great use to know the stand points of physiology and pharmacology departments in different universities, and also can be informative for policy makers in higher education...

Molecular physiology is a new interdisciplinary field of knowledge that looks into how complicated biological systems function. The living cell is a relatively simple, but at the same time very sophisticated biological system. After the sequencing of the human genome, molecular physiology has endeavored to investigate the systems of cellular interactions at a completely new level based on knowl...
