Thorax, 2013 Effective therapies for the 10% of patients with 'severe' asthma remain elusive, while other pulmonary diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are currently untreatable. Many cellular processes rely heavily on signals delivered by changes in the intracellular-free Ca(2+) concentration, in many cases relying on Ca(2+) influx from the ...

Diabetologia, 1992 Insulin secretion by the pancreatic Beta cell is dependent upon transmembrane ion fluxes gated by the ATP-regulated potassium channel and the voltage regulated, L-type calcium channel. This work group examined major recent advances in the structure and modulation of ion channels and how those advances may pertain to the physiology of insulin secretion ...

Mitochondrial Potassium Channels as Druggable Targets
Biomolecules, 2020 Mitochondrial potassium channels have been described as important factors in cell pro-life and death phenomena. The activation of mitochondrial potassium channels, such as ATP-regulated or calcium-activated large conductance potassium channels, may have ...

TRP Channels Interactome as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Breast cancer is one of the most frequent cancer types worldwide and the first cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Although significant therapeutic advances have been achieved with drugs such as tamoxifen and trastuzumab, breast cancer still caused ...

Ion Channel - Ion Channel Interaction at Atomic Resolution [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Multiple lines of experimental evidence highlight the lateral patchiness of bacterial and eukaryotic cellular membrane surfaces, suggesting membranes in which proteins and lipids are organized in heterogeneous domains. This corroborates the notion that membrane signaling proteins like ion channels are assembled in supramolecular clusters, in which ...

SCN1A channelopathies: Navigating from genotype to neural circuit dysfunction
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 The SCN1A gene is strongly associated with epilepsy and plays a central role for supporting cortical excitation-inhibition balance through the expression of NaV1.1 within inhibitory interneurons.

Ion Channel Pharmacology [PDF]
Neurotherapeutics, 2007 Because ion channels are involved in many cellular processes, drugs acting on ion channels have long been used for the treatment of many diseases, especially those affecting electrically excitable tissues. The present review discusses the pharmacology of voltage-gated and neurotransmitter-gated ion channels involved in neurologic diseases, with ...
