Summary: Researchers identified the first major genetic cause of primary hyperhidrosis. By evaluating the genetic blueprints of over 180 patients, the international research team traced the disorder ...

The transport of ions to and from a cell is controlled by pore-forming proteins embedded in the cell membrane. In particular, voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) govern the transfer of sodium (Na +) ...

A study on live tissue cells is the first to reveal how channels that allow sodium to enter into breast cancer cells enable tumors to grow and spread. The discovery adds to evidence which suggests ...

Ion channels are structures within cell membranes that enable specific ions to travel to and from the cell. Such transfer is essential for a variety of physiological processes such as muscle cell ...

A new study adds to evidence which suggests treating breast cancer patients with sodium channel blockers could be a promising future treatment to prevent the spread of cancer during the gap between ...
