Washington, DC - Tiny pores at a cell’s entryway act as miniature bouncers, letting in some electrically charged atoms - ions, but blocking others. Operating as exquisitely sensitive filters, these “ion channels” play a critical role in biological functions such as muscle contraction and the firing of brain cells.
