Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2011 Background Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is a peripheral neuropathy caused by the extracellular accumulation and deposition of insoluble transthyretin (TTR) aggregates. However the molecular mechanism that underlies TTR toxicity in peripheral

Medical Clinics of North America, 1988 The calcium channel blockers initially were approved for the treatment of classical and variant angina pectoris. Recent studies indicate that these agents also are useful in such diverse conditions as pulmonary and systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, asthma, Raynaud's syndrome, esophageal spasm, myometrial hyperactivity ...

Study of Selectivity and Permeation In Voltage-Gated Ion Channels [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Ion channels are membrane proteins responsible for an enormous range of biological functions. Ion selectivity and permeation are based on simple laws of physics and chemistry. Ion channels are therefore ideal candidates for physical investigation. A reduced model generates the selectivity of voltage-gated L-type calcium channel under a wide range of ...

Signaling complexes of voltage-gated calcium channels
Channels, 2011 Voltage gated calcium channels are key mediators of depolarization induced calcium entry into electrically excitable cells. There is increasing evidence that voltage gated calcium channels, like many other types of ionic channels, do not operate in ...

Neuroprotective effects of blockers for T-type calcium channels
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2009 Cognitive and functional decline with age is correlated with deregulation of intracellular calcium, which can lead to neuronal death in the brain.

Ion Channels, Natural Nanovalves [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Ion channels are proteins with holes down their middle that control the flow of ions and electric current across otherwise impermeable biological membranes. The flow of sodium, potassium, calcium (divalent), and chloride ions have been central issues in biology for more than a century.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2011 The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include significant abdominal pain and bloating. Current treatments are empirical and often poorly efficacious, and there is a need for the development of new and efficient analgesics aimed at IBS patients ...
