UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, Aug. 12 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. A new study has rewritten the conventionally understood evolutionary history of certain proteins critical for electrical signaling in the nervous system. The study, led by Penn State researchers, shows that the well-studied family of proteins potassium ion channels in the Shaker family were present in microscopic single cell organisms well before the common ancesto . . .
