Voltage-gated Na+ channels: multiplicity of expression, plasticity, functional implications and pathophysiological aspects

JKJ Diss, SP Fraser, MBA Djamgoz - European Biophysics Journal, 2004 - Springer
Voltage-gated Na + channels (VGSCs) are well known for mediating regenerative cell membrane
depolarization and conduction of electrical signalling in nerves and muscles. However, …

The curriculum? That's just a unit outline, isn't it?

SP Fraser, AM Bosanquet - Studies in higher education, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
The term curriculum is familiar in school education, but more ambiguous in its usage in a
higher education context. Although it is frequently used in academic staff discussions, policy …

Directional movement of rat prostate cancer cells in direct-current electric field: involvement of voltagegated Na+ channel activity

…, M Mycielska, Z Madeja, SP Fraser… - Journal of cell …, 2001 - journals.biologists.com
A two-part hypothesis has been tested, which proposes that (1) prostate cancer cells are
