The laboratory is designed to measure electrical activity (ionic currents, gate currents, and action potentials) from immortalized cell lines, primary cell cultures, and acute sections.
From the solved tasks:
- regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels by pharmacological agents and interacting proteins
- relationship between structure and function of voltage-gated calcium channels
- regulation of neuronal excitability by endogenous and exogenous factors
- measurement of single channel currents, study of biophysical properties and regulation of single ion channels.
