Patch-Clamp Electrophysiology
Patch-clamp electrophysiology is a technique for measuring ionic currents through ion channels in cell membranes, developed by Neher and Sakmann in 1976. It enables direct observation of single-channel and whole-cell currents at millisecond resolution, making it essential for characterizing drug effects on ion channels and cardiac safety assessment.
