Zur Wirkung des Juvenilhormons: Elektrophysiologische Messungen an der Zellmembran der Speicheldrüse von Galleria mellonella
TLDR
Experiments on the salivary gland cell membrane of the wax moth Galleria mellonella showed that the substances which were active in the biological test also had a depolarizing effect on the cell membrane, and it was also shown that the membrane had an outwardgoing rectification.About:

Physiology of growth and development: endocrine aspects
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the influence that endocrine hormones have on the growth and development of insects and investigates the regulation and mechanism of synthesis and release of neurosecretion in insect cells.
Book ChapterDOI
Hormonal Control of Metabolism in Insects
TL;DR: Insects provide excellent model systems for the study of a number of metabolic problems, the importance of which extends far beyond the insects, and it seems certain that, because synthetic JH is now available, much attention will be directed toward the metabolic aspects of its action, particularly because of its potential use as an insecticide.

Differential Effects of K+ and Na+ on Specific Bands of Isolated Polytene Chromosomes of Chironomus Tentans
M. Lezzi,L. I. Gilbert +1 more
TL;DR: Differential effects of K +, Na +, Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ and combinations thereof on specific chromosome regions are revealed and analogies are drawn between the observed effects of ions on isolated chromosomes and their effects on chromatin isolated from mammalian cells.
Book ChapterDOI
Differential gene activation in isolated chromosomes.
TL;DR: The principle of differential gene activation states that the differences among cells having the same genetic content are the result of different sets of genes being turned on or off, the basis of cell differentiation and function.

A quantitative description of membrane current and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve
A. L. Hodgkin,A. F. Huxley +1 more
TL;DR: This article concludes a series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fibre by putting them into mathematical form and showing that they will account for conduction and excitation in quantitative terms.

Potential, impedance, and rectification in membranes
TL;DR: A theoretical picture has been presented based on the use of the general kinetic equations for ion motion under the influence of diffusion and electrical forces and on a consideration of possible membrane structures that shows qualitative agreement with the rectification properties and very good agreementwith the membrane potential data.

The potassium permeability of a giant nerve fibre
A. L. Hodgkin,Richard D. Keynes +1 more
TL;DR: This hypothesis is attractive in that it provides a reasonable explanation of the further observation that the sodium efflux drops by some 20 pmole/cm2 sec when external potassium is removed, but it raises one serious difficulty which needs to be resolved.
