Cell biology: Ion channels and stem cells
Pete Moore1
Abstract
Ion channels, stem cells and cell signalling are the focus of intense interest in both cell biology and drug discovery. Pete Moore takes a look at what's on offer for the researcher.
Ion channels act as electrical gatekeepers in cell membranes, and are responsible for the generation and propagation of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and many other biological processes. With more than 400 ion-channel genes identified in the human genome, interest in detecting and measuring their activity is burgeoning.
