RNA interference reveals the escape response mechanism of Paramecium to mechanical stimulation
In Paramecium, a mechanical stimulus applied to the posterior portion of the cell causes a transient increase in membrane permeability to potassium ions, transiently rendering the membrane in a hyperpolarized state. Hyperpolarization causes a transient increase in Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAM...
