TL;DR: These findings help establish the link between centrosome function, tissue architecture and transcriptional control in the pathogenesis of cystic kidney disease, retinal degeneration, and central nervous system development.
Abstract: The molecular basis of nephronophthisis, the most frequent genetic cause of renal failure in children and young adults, and its association with retinal degeneration and cerebellar vermis aplasia in Joubert syndrome are poorly understood. Using positional cloning, we here identify mutations in the gene CEP290 as causing nephronophthisis. It encodes a protein with several domains also present in CENPF, a protein involved in chromosome segregation. CEP290 (also known as NPHP6) interacts with and modulates the activity of ATF4, a transcription factor implicated in cAMP-dependent renal cyst formation. NPHP6 is found at centrosomes and in the nucleus of renal epithelial cells in a cell cycle-dependent manner and in connecting cilia of photoreceptors. Abrogation of its function in zebrafish recapitulates the renal, retinal and cerebellar phenotypes of Joubert syndrome. Our findings help establish the link between centrosome function, tissue architecture and transcriptional control in the pathogenesis of cystic kidney disease, retinal degeneration, and central nervous system development.

TL;DR: Verapamil and D 600 differ in this respect from common local anesthetic compounds such as xylocaine (lidocaine) or procaine which interfere much more with the transmembrane Na conductivity than with the Ca conductivity.
Abstract: According to earlier studies on mammalian papillary muscles, verapamil and compound D 600 (a methoxy-derivative of verapamil) can abolish the Ca dependent contractile responses completely whilst the Na dependent action potentials persist. In an attempt to clarify the mechanism of action separate measurements of the transmembrane Na and Ca currents have been performed on ventricular trabeculae of cats using a special voltage clamp technique. The following results were obtained: As a functional significance of this dual membrane transport system it is possible to change the contractile force by inotropic substances which act on the Ca conductivity without a corresponding influence on excitation.

TL;DR: Patch-clamp recordings from mossy fiber boutons (MFBs) in rat hippocampal slices show that inactivation of presynaptic K(+) channels contributes to the control of efficacy of a glutamatergic synapse in the cortex.
