Sodium channels are exciting! If you agree and have some interesting data on their biophysics, their role in disease, pharmacology/toxicology or any other related topic, consider submitting your work to our special issue:

BOOM! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. This is a huge, clinically transformative finding. Congrats to Alban and team

First paper published with my friend and colleague Angelika Lampert is now online stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… hopefully just the first of many very exciting papers in our collaborative work!

Very impressive approach.

Did you ever wonder when Nav1.7 is expressed on the surface of your iPSC-derived sensory neurons? You can find the answer in our latest paper bit.ly/4cxptdJ, CRISPR/Cas HA-tagged Nav1.7 and Airyscan for 2 differentiation protocols.

This sounds like a very interesting seminar!

Thank you reza sharif for your inspiring talk today here Uniklinik RWTH AC, for putting PV on the spot as Ca-sensor, the fruitful discussions - and for bravely tasting the hot springs of Aachen! ...this taste brings instant pain relieve, right?

Excited to share the final form of Elaine Tao and my paper 'A binding site for phosphoinositides described by multiscale simulations explains their modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels' out in eLife - the journal today:

I am impressed: 'Uni. Zurich University of Zurich No Longer Provide Data for THE Ranking World University Rankings' because 'UZH is committed to an academic culture that prioritises quality over quantity'.
This is forward-looking!

Excited to share our paper on mouse DRG genetic toolkit that reveals morphological and physiological diversity of somatosensory neuron subtypes. Thanks to all the co-authors! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Online symposium on neuronal ensembles on May 2nd, co-organized with Emre Yaksi Emre Yaksi NTNU and Rosa Cossart INMED. Great speakers! Registration open and free ntc.columbia.edu/ensembles2024/

The Membrane Transport Proteins GRC/GRS is fast approaching! We have a great line-up of speakers with extra slots available for late-breaking topics and short talks selected from abstracts. Submit your abstract by April 30 for consideration (1/4) grc.org/membrane-trans…

Short twittorial on our latest Elkin1 paper. First figure: Elkin1 talks like a channel, walks like a channel and is mechanically gated. Expression leads to mechanically gated currents just like any Piezo. Most importantly an unusual leak current appears in cells expressing Elkin1

Thanks to all the contributors and here's to the next discovery!

Touch sensation requires the mechanically gated ion channel ELKIN1 | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Super proud to present our latest work led by Sam Sampurna Chakrabarti , we identified ELKIN1 as necessary for normal touch sensation in mice and in human sensory neurons too!

Common among the rare. New paper in which we support Andreas Brunklaus project:

🧬Genotype–phenotype associations in 1018 ❗️individuals with SCN1A‐related epilepsies.

Great global collaboration, with support from Eduardo Pérez Palma & [email protected] from our team. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ep…
