HYPOGLYCAEMIA AND CENTRAL WHITE MATTER: MECHANISMS OF INJURY AND NEUROPROTECTIVE STRATEGIES

The brain is vulnerable to low blood glucose, and hypoglycaemia is a major problem for diabetics. Here Angus Brown explains how this hypoglycaemia may cause cellular damage to the white matter.

CAN GASES CROSS BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES THROUGH CHANNELS?

One of the bedrock beliefs of membrane transport physiology is that gas molecules cross membranes by diffusing freely through the lipid bilayer. Here Gordon Cooper argues that this view is in need of a reappraisal.

MAMMALIAN TWO-PORE DOMAIN POTASSIUM CHANNELS

The two-pore domain potassium channels are now a new and important family with characteristics of leak potassium channels, crucial to regulation of cell excitability. Here their properties are explored by Alistair Mathie and Brian Robertson.
