Voltage-gated channel mechanosensitivity: Fact or Friction?
The heart is a continually active pulsatile fluid pump that generates forces by precisely timed and spaced engagement of contractile nano-machinery. This pump largely generates its own control signals, the most crucial of which involve precisely timed and spaced transmembrane ion fluxes. The time...
