Patch-clamp recording techniques were used to examine the direct effects of mechanical stimulation on ion channel activity in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. Three classes of mechanosensitive ion channels were present and could be distinguished on the basis of conductance, ionic selectivit

## Abstract TREKβ1 is a mechanosensitive member of the twoβpore domain potassium channel family (2PK+) that is also sensitive to lipids, free fatty acids (including arachidonic acid), temperature, intracellular pH, and a range of clinically relevant compounds including volatile anaesthetics. TREKβ1
Synchronous cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardii have been examined for the total amounts of carotenoid and chlorophyll present throughout a 12 hrs light-4hrs dark life cycle. Variations in the carotenoid distribution at different points within the cell cycle have been found. During the greater part
