On the validity of the two-cells model in the analysis of passive electrical properties of gap-junction connected cells
It is a rather extended practice to derive electrophysiological data (membrane and contact conductances) from experimental data for gap-junction tissues assuming that electrical connections are reduced to cel...

Homogeneity in the Electrical Activity Pattern as a Function of Intercellular Coupling in Cell Networks
The aim of this paper is to study changes in the electrical activity of cellular networks when one of the most important electrical parameters, the coupling conductance, varies. We use the pancreatic islet of ...

Role of architecture in determining passive electrical properties in gap junction-connected cells
The electrical properties of gap junction-connected cells were analysed in terms of their architectural organization. Two major architectural categories were considered: trees and rings. Trees are described by...

Balance between intercellular coupling and input resistance as a necessary requirement for oscillatory electrical activity in pancreatic β-cells
We studied the emergence of oscillatory electrical activity after addition of glucose to insulin secreting cells. In the physiological glucose range (7–20 mM), these cells show a typical square-wave bursting p...

Optimal range of input resistance in the oscillatory behavior of the pancreatic β-cell
The pancreatic β-cell produces the hormone insulin in response to the blood glucose levels. This system is damaged in the diabetes. The central region of the ß-cell electrical response is oscillatory. In this ...

Ecotoxicological studies with the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus II. An assessment of the chronic toxicity of lindane and 3,4-dichloroaniline using life tables
The effects of chronic exposure of the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus to the toxicants lindane and 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA), were evaluated. The parameters used to determine the toxicity on these com...
