Biophysical modeling and experimental analysis of the dynamics of C. elegans body-wall muscle cells. by Xuexing Du, Jennifer Crodelle, Victor James Barranca, Songting Li, Yunzhu Shi, Shangbang Gao, Douglas Zhou

“…This study combines experimental techniques and mathematical modeling to investigate the dynamics of C. elegans body-wall muscle cells. Specifically, by conducting voltage clamp and mutant experiments, we identify key ion channels, particularly the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (EGL-19) and potassium channels (SHK-1, SLO-2), which are crucial for generating action potentials. …”
