Acute effect of pore-forming Clostridium perfringens ?-toxin on compound action potentials of optic nerve of mouse (2017)
Journal Article

ε-Toxin is a pore forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D. It is synthesized as a less active prototoxin form that becomes fully active upon proteolytic activation. The toxin produces highly lethal enterotoxaemia in ruminants,... Read More about Acute effect of pore-forming Clostridium perfringens ?-toxin on compound action potentials of optic nerve of mouse.

In a career that has spanned 45 years and shows no signs of slowing down, Dr Bruce Ransom has devoted considerable time and energy to studying regulation of interstitial K+. When Bruce commenced his studies in 1969 virtually nothing was known of the... Read More about A lifetime’s adventure in extracellular K+ regulation: the Scottish connection.

The critical role of logarithmic transformation in Nernstian equilibrium potential calculations (2017)
Journal Article
Sawyer, J. E., Hennebry, J. E., Revill, A., & Brown, A. M. (2017). The critical role of logarithmic transformation in Nernstian equilibrium potential calculations. Advances in Physiology Education, 41(2), https://doi.org/10.1152/advan.00166.2016

The membrane potential, arising from uneven distribution of ions across cell membranes containing selectively permeable ion channels, is of fundamental importance to cell signaling. The necessity of maintaining the membrane potential may be appreciat... Read More about The critical role of logarithmic transformation in Nernstian equilibrium potential calculations.
