Cover picture: “The Poetess” from the series “Constellations” by Joan Miró, ∼1940. The cover art exuberantly evokes the starry sky of its series name, but also recalls the microbial bustle of a drop of pond water under a microscope objective, with shapes suggesting protozoa and sperm. Incredibly, because the necessary technology was years in the future, the blue circular shapes in the top left resemble individual transporter molecules reconstituted into proteoliposomes, the subject of Mulligan et al. (745–759).

Functional ryanodine receptors in the membranes of neurohypophysial secretory granules
Localized calcium release from ryanodine-sensitive stores in large dense core vesicles may modulate secretion of neuropeptides from neurohypophysial terminals.
Interactions between permeation and gating in the TMEM16B/anoctamin2 calcium-activated chloride channel
Extracellular anions more permeant than Cl− modulate TMEM16B gating to promote channel opening, whereas less permeant anions favor channel closure.
Acid-sensing ion channels in mouse olfactory bulb M/T neurons
Functional acid-sensing ion channels are present in olfactory bulb neurons and may contribute to normal olfaction.
Adaptive potentiation in rod photoreceptors after light exposure
After illumination, rod photoreceptors show a paradoxical increase in sensitivity to light.
Functional characterization of a Na+-dependent dicarboxylate transporter from Vibrio cholerae
VcINDY, a bacterial homolog of transporters implicated in lifespan in fruit flies and insulin resistance in mammals, is a high affinity, electrogenic, Na+-dependent dicarboxylate transporter.
Signal transmission within the P2X2 trimeric receptor
The ATP activation signal in trimeric P2X2 receptors propagates down individual subunits before spreading to all three at the level of the pore.
Impact of detubulation on force and kinetics of cardiac muscle contraction
T-tubule uncoupling from the plasma membrane leads to myocardial contractile abnormalities.
