Ariel Hall, Exploring the Effects of Nanoparticle Exposure on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels In HEK Cells

4/29/2020

Do piezoelectric nanoparticles affect gating of ion channels?
This study observed the effects of polarized and non-polarized nanoparticles on voltage-gated ion channels
Specifically whether or not changes in ionic currents through these channels are detected
May determine whether nanoparticles can be used to modify channel gating
Also may address the larger issue of nanoparticle toxicity to mammalian cells
