Team Neptune (502)

Howdy,

We have been researching different methods to measure whether or not a heart cell is within the range of healthy membrane potential. While we have narrowed down the options for this measurement, we have yet to come to a final consensus on which method is optimum. However, with regard to the ‘correction’ of the membrane potential, we have concentrated our focus on the calcium ion. Our task at this point is to discover different ways to manipulate the calcium ion flow into the cell. An optimum device would be able to increase as well as decrease this flow based on the membrane potential.
