Voltage-Dependent Ca2+ Release Is Impaired in Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Caused by CaV1.1-R528H but not by NaV1.4-R669H

M. DIFRANCO, S. C. Cannon

This study compares Ca2+ release in two HypoPP mouse models, finding reduced voltage-dependent Ca2+ release in CaV1.1-R528H but not NaV1.4-R669H mutants.

Effects of lowered o and membrane depolarization on the Ca2+ transients of fast skeletal muscle fibers. Implications for muscle fatigue.

M. Quinonez, M. DIFRANCO

This study investigates how reduced extracellular Na+ and membrane depolarization affect Ca2+ transients in skeletal muscle fibers, showing that Ca2+ release is decoupled from action potential overshoot under certain conditions.

A highly-selective chloride microelectrode based on a mercuracarborand anion carrier

M. DiFranco, M. Quinonez, R. M. Dziedzic, A. M. Spokoyny, S. C. Cannon

This paper develops a highly-selective chloride microelectrode using MC3 anion carrier, showing improved stability, response time, and selectivity over other anions.
