Prof. Dr. Armin Kargol - Statement about the Port-a-Patch

   “Nanion’s Port-a-Patch is an excellent instrument for research labs working with undergraduate students. Manual patch-clamping methods depend to a large extend on the skills of the operator. They require long training periods. For a typical undergraduate student it takes over a year to learn patch-clamping. Port-a-Patch reduces that time to only weeks and the most difficult part is to understand the software that controls the instrument. This allows undergraduate students to actively participate in real research projects.”

Prof. Dr. Carlos Villalobos - Statement about the Port-a-Patch

   “We have used Nanion´s Port-a-patch for recording endogenous Icrac, the small calcium-release activated currents that are becoming very important in cell fate and cancer hallmarks. In addition, measurements were carried out in primary cultures of human, coronary, vascular-smooth muscle cells, a very difficult cell type to patch, and several normal and tumoral, epithelial cells. In the beginning I was very skeptical, because the currents are extremely small. However, the results were excellent and clear cut. It is possible to investigate the pharmacology and molecular biology of these channels during the phenotypic switches related to transdifferentiation, aging or tumorogenesis”.

07.09.2021 | Webinar: Automated patch clamp assay development for the study of red blood cells (RBCs) in health and disease

   SyncroPatch 384,      Patchliner,      Port-a-Patch Webinar

Date: September 07. 2021, 4:00 PM CEST (10:00 AM EDT)

Abstract:

Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal signalling molecule and is critically important in regulating many physiological functions and survival of RBCs. Amongst others, intracellular Ca2+ controls cell volume and deformability. This process plays a substantial role in RBCs since their volume needs to adapt when passing blood vessel constrictions during the flow. Excessive Ca2+ uptake also leads to accelerated cell clearance causing anaemia.

Therefore, studying Ca2+ regulation is crucial to understand RBC diseases. Piezo1, KCa3.1 (Gardos channel) and NMDA receptors are three channels present in the RBC membrane and critical for Ca²⁺ regulation.

We developed functional assays to measure these channels in healthy and diseased RBCs populations using electrophysiological tools, contributing to the characterization of RBC diseases.
