Introduction Welcome to the fascinating world of electrophysiology, where the mysteries of electrical activity in biological systems are unveiled. In this post, we will dive into the definition and core concepts of electrophysiology. By exploring the fundamental principles of this field, we aim to provide you with a solid understanding of the captivating world of […]
Patch clamp electrophysiology is an experimental technique that reads into electrical events in cells. The electric potential between the cell membrane reveals the workings of cell membranes and ion channels, a group of proteins that detect and control the movement of ions in and out of the cells.[1] The technique was developed through a […]
Introduction Cells are building blocks of organisms. Thus, understanding the whole metabolic processes and dynamics of organisms requires us to look clearly inside cells. Advanced microscopy technologies combined with protein labeling approaches have enabled scientists to understand cellular processes and investigate the dynamic processes in organisms with better resolution and sensitivity.[1] The quality optical conditions […]
Tissue slices represent the organs or intact tissue for in vitro studies such as biochemical analyses, live-cell imaging, electro-physiological, and pharmacological studies. Theoretically, tissue slices are short-lived and should be used immediately. In practice, tissue slices can be temporarily maintained in cold storage or cryopreserved to reduce or stop their metabolic activities, thus extending their […]
