V m -related extracellular potentials observed in red blood cells

Abstract Even in nonexcitable cells, the membrane potential V m is fundamental to cell function, with roles from ion channel regulation, development, to cancer metastasis. V m arises from transmembrane ion concentration gradients; standard models assume homogeneous extracellular and intracellular io...
