Mitochondrial Potassium Channels as Druggable Targets

open access: yesBiomolecules, 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 ...

The effect of cerium dioxide nanoparticles on the viability of hippocampal neurons in Alzheimer’s disease modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
The possibilities of using nanoparticle materials based on cerium dioxide (CNPs) are exciting since they are low toxic and have specific redox, antiradical properties.

TRP Channels Interactome as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers 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 Channels in Asthma [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Ion channels are specialized transmembrane proteins that permit the passive flow of ions following their electrochemical gradients. In the airways, ion channels participate in the production of epithelium-based hydroelectrolytic secretions and in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) levels that will ultimately activate almost all lung cells, either ...

Imaging with Ion Channels [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical Chemistry, 2021
We describe the incorporation of gated ion channels into probes for scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) as a robust platform for collecting spatial information at interfaces. Specifically, a dual-barrel pipet is used, where one barrel controls the pipet position and the second barrel houses voltage-gated transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (

SCN1A channelopathies: Navigating from genotype to neural circuit dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Genetic Ablation of G Protein-Gated Inwardly Rectifying K+ Channels Prevents Training-Induced Sinus Bradycardia

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Background: Endurance athletes are prone to bradyarrhythmias, which in the long-term may underscore the increased incidence of pacemaker implantation reported in this population.

Exploring the Two Coupled Conformational Changes That Activate the Munc18-1/Syntaxin-1 Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Calcium-dependent synaptic vesicle exocytosis is mediated by SNARE complex formation. The transition from the Munc18-1/syntaxin-1 complex to the SNARE complex is catalyzed by the Munc13-1 MUN domain and involves at least two conformational changes ...

Biophysical characterization and modelling of SCN1A gain-of-function predicts interneuron hyperexcitability and a predisposition to network instability through homeostatic plasticity

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2023
SCN1A gain-of-function variants are associated with early onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) that possess distinct clinical features compared to Dravet syndrome caused by SCN1A loss-of-function.
