Sydney Ringer’s grave – worthy of a proper memorial?

David Miller asks whether the Society could mark the grave of a very influential physiologist

Primate neuroscience centre public inquiry

The neuroscience research centre inquiry was about planning matters, not science, says Mark Matfield, expert witness for the University of Cambridge

Doing physiology in Romania

Gordon Reid explains how his department rose from nothing at all to a Centre of Excellence in six years, with the help of a few broken chairs

On women in science

Bill Parry talks to Susan Greenfield about the SET Fair report on women in science, engineering and technology

The (almost) outback experience

Notes of a visiting Australasian Lecturer of the Physiological Society

Public understanding of science: mind the gap

The best way to engage in constructive debate, especially on controversial topics, is to try to narrow the gap between theory and practice. John Lee explains the importance of letting the public see what you are doing

Large multiprotein complexes are involved in short-term regulation of the epithelial brush border Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3

Many transport proteins exist in large macromolecular complexes that contain scaffold proteins, signalling molecules, kinases and phosphatases. Here Mark Donowitz and colleagues describe how the Na/H antiporter NHE3 is regulated by the dynamic assembly of protein complexes

Ion channels in the ‘malaria-infected’ red blood cell

Kiaran Kirk explains how recent electrophysiological studies have provided new insights into the mechanisms by which the malaria parasite brings about a dramatic increase in the permeability of the red blood cell membrane to ions and nutrients
