We investigated a portable bioartificial renal tubule device (BRTD) consisting of renal tubule cells and hollow fibers, to improve the quality of life of patients. It is necessary for a BRTD system to be compact. A compact portable BRTB requires tran

The function of current hemodialysis as an artificial kidney is insufficient because of the lack of reabsorptive function. In this study, we intend to develop a bioartificial renal tubule cell device (RTD) using tubular epithelial cells and artificia

We intend to develop a bioartificial kidney using tubular epithelial cells and artificial membranes, and to evaluate the reabsorptive function of the confluent layers. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were cultured on a nucleopore polycarbonate

The actions of zinc on A-type potassium current (I(A)) were studied in dissociated bullfrog sympathetic neurons. Zinc (1-300 microM) caused a parallel shift in the activation and inactivation curves to a depolarizing direction, thereby enhancing I(A)

Whole-cell/voltage-clamp recordings were made from dissociated bullfrog sympathetic neurons to examine the inhibitory actions of barium (0.01-3 mM) on a rapidly inactivating A-type potassium current (IA). The IC50 value was about 0.9 mM. Barium (1 mM

1. The effects of multivalent cations on membrane currents recorded from Xenopus oocytes were studied. 2. The hyperpolarization-activated chloride current was reversibly blocked by lanthanum; half-maximal block occurred at a concentration of 8 microM

The mechanism underlying the over-recovery of an M-type potassium current following the washout of muscarine (20 μM) has been examined. Whole-cell recordings were made from single neurons dissociated from bullfrog sympathetic ganglia. During over-re

1. The actions of wortmannin, an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), on M-type potassium current of dissociated bullfrog sympathetic neurones have been examined. 2. The amplitude of M-current was measured by whole cell recordings from cell

Although Ca 2+ -induced Ca 2+ release (CICR) via ryanodine receptors has been found to occur in intact neurons, little is known about the physiological processes that regulate it. We studied the effects of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) on CICR in culture

1. Cultured bull-frog dorsal root ganglion cells were voltage clamped in the whole-cell configuration. The cells were superfused with a nominally calcium-free Ringer solution containing tetrodotoxin (3 microM), magnesium (10 mM), cobalt (1 mM), bariu
