細胞的電生理活性由細胞膜表面離子通道之活動產生。舉例而言，在神經和肌肉細胞中離子通道具有引發、傳遞和中止電氣活性的功能。在其它非興奮性細胞中，離子通道也調控了許多關鍵的生理過程，例如：腎小管上水份的再吸收，胰島素自胰島腺體中的釋放，卵子受精的過程，以及免疫細胞的發育。本課程的目標在於透過研究文獻的閱讀，小組討論，以及實驗的操作，使學生逐漸具備獨立操作儀器設備的能力，以及獲取與離子通道研究相關領域中，最新的生理學，病理學，轉譯醫學的基礎知識，以養成細胞電生理基礎研究的能力。
課程概述:
本課程透過原文期刊文獻的閱讀，小組討論，以及實驗的操作，訓練碩博士班以及大學部高年級學生吸收最新專業領域知識的能力及技巧。此外並在動手從事研究的過程中，培養獨立操作儀器設備的能力，分析實驗數據的方法，以期未來成為細胞電生理研究相關領域之專業人員。The electrophysiological activity of cells is generated by the activity of ion channels on the surface of the cell membrane. For example, ion channels in neurons and muscle cells have the functions of initiating, transmitting, and aborting the gas activity. In other non-sustaining cells, ion channels also control many key physiological processes, such as reabsorption of water on the kidney tubules, release of insulin from pancreatic glands, the process of egg fertilization, and the development of immune cells. The purpose of this course is to gradually enable students to gradually develop the ability to independently operate instrument equipment and gain the latest physiology, pathology, and translational medicine in the fields related to ion channel research research, through the reading of research literature, group discussions, and experiment operations. The basic knowledge of cell electrophysiological research ability.
Course Overview:
This course uses the reading of original journal articles, group discussions, and experiment operations, to train the abilities and skills of senior students in the university department to absorb the latest professional domain knowledge. In addition, during the manual research process, we cultivate the ability to independently operate the instrument equipment and analyze the methods of experiment data, so as to become a professional in the field of cell electrophysiology research in the future.
