Exploring Intestinal Ion Transport Mechanisms: Insights from the EasyMount Ussing Chamber and Hydrogen Sulfide Research

ByLiam Vandenberg

Hydrogen Sulfide Triggering Secretion This study explores how hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) triggers secretion in the intestines, focusing on the mechanisms and pathways involved. H₂S, a gasotransmitter, is known for its role in regulating various physiological processes and its potential therapeutic uses. Researchers investigated the effects of an H₂S donor compound, NaHS, on guinea-pig and human…

Exploring Flavonoid Effects on Respiratory Epithelium: Insights Using the EasyMount Ussing Chamber

ByLiam Vandenberg

In the study “Modulation of the Respiratory Epithelium Physiology by Flavonoids—Insights from 16HBEσ Cell Model,” researchers actively examined how specific flavonoids—kaempferol, luteolin, as well as naringenin—effect the physiology of human bronchial epithelial cells. Researchers sought to understand how these compounds importantly influence multiple aspects of cell behavior. They concentrated on cell metabolic activity, proliferation, epithelial…

Ussing Chambers and Cancer Research

ByA.I. Michelson

The Ussing chamber, also known as the Ussing-Müller chamber, is a widely used tool in physiology and cell biology research. The chamber is used to measure the electrical properties of biological tissues or cells in order to study the transport of ions and molecules across biological membranes. In cancer research, Ussing chambers have been used…
