Cell Physiology Open Access Articles

Cell physiology is that the biological study of the activities that happen during a cell to stay it alive. The term physiology refers to normal functions during a living organism. Animal cells, plant cells and microorganism cells show similarities in their functions albeit they vary in structure. Our research into ion channels, transporters and signaling is a few of the foremost basic science within the Department. It underpins our understanding of cellular activity, organ function and disease – and inspires the event of latest treatments. Ion channels and transporters are perhaps the foremost fundamental interface between cells and their surroundings, which makes understanding their function an important a part of understanding how the body works. From establishing how potassium channels affect insulin secretion, through the role of nutrient transporters in cancer growth, and therefore the involvement of calcium channels in organic phenomenon, to understanding metabolic signalling within the heart, all our work considers the microscopic behavior of the cell but helps explain the macroscopic function of the body.As a result our studies have wide-ranging implications that belie their tight focus. Through understanding how basic cell function is said to larger-scale conditions comes an increased ability specialize in " to focus on our attentions and focus on the foremost important physiological questions. While our work is fundamentally about improving our understanding of human physiology, then, it lends itself naturally to translating basic science into treatments.
