New study by Burwood, Fridberger, et al. describes the distinctive mechanical response characteristics of the guinea pig apical cochlear organ of Corti and basilar membrane, neither of which is tonotopic in the apex. https://t.co/z2Nsp8LzAh

.@lfsantana68 lab @ucd_physiology shows that beat-locked cytosolic and mitochondrial ATP transients in sinoatrial node myocytes sort into high-gain, low-gain, or consumption-dominant modes aligned with superior–inferior vascular–mitochondrial gradients. https://t.co/G3oushd030

Godfrey Smith and I have written a commentary on this paper. Fascinating interactions between Mn2+ and Ca2+ with implications for Ca2+ handling. https://t.co/BpLF6ANivs

Jaque-Fernandez et al. @UnivLyon1 show that depolarization of #zebrafish #SkeletalMuscle fibers evokes a Mn²⁺ quenching signal that does not result from store-operated Ca²⁺ entry but from a displacement of Mn²⁺ accumulated on intracellular Ca²⁺ buffers https://t.co/BhcygTYshq

@CactusFrankS @JustineBateman i was there!

[Journal of General Physiology @JGenPhysiol]

Yu Zhou, @LingleChris et al. ask whether distinct β subunit isoforms coassemble in BK channel complexes or segregate into different complexes. They show that ternary β2:β3:α complexes form, consistent with a trinomial model of random mixing of β subunits. https://t.co/dIbXHPfcsS

Liu and Bezanilla @UChicago describe a voltage-gated sodium channel mutant that removes fast inactivation while the fast inactivation particle, the IFM motif, remains bound, indicating that fast inactivation requires additional conformational changes https://t.co/TYK4FiUvwy
