Sodium channels enable fast electrical signaling and regulate phagocytosis in the retinal pigment epithelium

Sodium channels enable fast electrical signaling and regulate phagocytosis in the retinal pigment epithelium

Abstract Background Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels have traditionally been considered a trademark of excitable cells. However, recent studies have shown the presence of Nav channels in several non-excitable cells, such as astrocytes and macrophages, demonstrating that the roles of these channel...
