Several standard buffer recipes have 11 mM glucose, and also sucrose. I realise buffers need osmolarity, but why such high sugar concentrations? I used to use Holmans in myograph experiments, and...

In many vascular beds a drop in pressure triggers vasodilation to autoregulate tissue blood flow. But, despite an increase in flow, would this not lead to further pressure drop, and how is the...

These are commonly used "specific" blockers of small conductance KCa (KCa2.1-2.3; SKCa; SK1-3), intermediate conductance KCa (KCa3.1; IKCa; IK1) and large conductance KCa (KCa1.1, BKCa, BK1)...

The activation of certain TRP channels, be it directly (for TRPV4) or indirectly (for TRPCs), by EETs is established, but is anyone aware of any others? Maybe someone has preliminary data showing...

I am wondering if anybody is aware of studies that have looked at internal elastic lamina fenestrations and trans-IEL endothelial/smooth muscle projections extending through these fenestrations? I...
