"Ion transport" refers to the movement or transfer of ions, which are electrically charged particles, from one place to another.
Full definition
The new information may give scientists more confidence in applying the «Born potential» to some of the complicated challenges in
predicting ion transport near and through chemical and biological systems.
While cortisol's primary targets are metabolic, it also
affects ion transport, the immune response and even memory.
«Synthetic proteins help solve structure of the fluoride ion channel: Unexpected double - barreled «channsporter» structure suggests new mechanism
for ion transport.»
Furthermore, glutamine stimulates growth of the small intestinal mucosa in young animals and also enhances
ion transport by the gut in neonates and adults.
The review details capture and transport of light in the semiconductor, electrocatalysis,
ion transport in the membrane and aqueous electrolytes, transport of product gas, and describesmulticomponent interactions between these physicochemical phenomena.
Positive effects where ROS mediate functions of normal cell metabolism include the induction of host defence genes and mobilisation
of ion transport systems, and roles in redox signaling.
They did it by designing a new polymer binder that actively regulates key
ion transport processes within a lithium - sulfur battery, and have also shown how it functions on a molecular level.

He studied physiology at the University of Guelph (BSc) and completed his MSc examining the role of membrane lipids in
regulating ion transport ATPases.
Battery membranes, and the associated electrolytes, used to
enable ion transport for energy storage and generation applications can offer high performance in terms of rapid charging, long lifespan and minimal self - discharge.
«We discovered that it has characteristics similar to the properties previously identified for the pores responsible for
sodium ion transport,» says co-lead author Dr Caitlin Byrt, Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine.
To see if the new DNA was working, the researchers then inserted an electrical device into the patients» nose or lungs that
measured ion transport by CTFR proteins (see early results here).
Natacha Gaitch and colleagues report an analysis done on six genes involved in pancreatitis or in
ion transport into the pancreatic duct by next generation sequencing in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pancreatic sufficiency (PS) patients with two identified CF mutations.
They discovered a unique «double - barreled» architecture that contains two pathways through which fluoride ions flow, representing a new mechanism
of ion transport.
Bergersen LH, Sander M, Storm - Mathisen J (2011) What the nose knows, what the eyes see, how we feel, how we learn, how we understand motor acts, why «YY» is essential
for ion transport, how epigenetics meet neurobiology in Rett syndrome: seven topics at the 2010 Kavli Prize Symposium on Neuroscience Neuroscience, 190, 1 - 11 PubMed 21624437
For example, ATP1B1 encodes a sub-unit of the sodium - potassium plasma membrane pump, which is essential for water and
ion transport.
Ion Transport and Structural Evolution in Solid State Ionics and Their Interfaces Charge Transfer Reactions at Heterogenous Catalyst Interfaces by In situ microscopy
Within the context of artificial photosynthesis, membranes are desired that facilitate
the ion transport necessary to feed the electrochemical reactions while meeting various additional selectivity and permeability demands depending on the CO2 reduction products.
«It's a new class of material that can reconfigure itself, and it has the potential to be customized into liquid reaction vessels for many uses, from chemical synthesis to
ion transport to catalysis,» Tom Russell, a visiting faculty scientist in Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division, said in a statement.
