Long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) is a heart disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the KCNH2 gene that is an essential factor in cardiac repolarization and affects the heart rate. This study has generated a human-induced stem cell line (KSCBi014-

Age‐ and sex‐specific modulation of human cardiac electrophysiology by doxorubicin
Abstract figure legend DOX differentially impacts cardiac electrophysiology based on sex and age. Sex differences were primarily observed among younger hearts, where action potential duration (APD) prolongation was observed in females, but not in males. Created using BioRender. George, S. (2026) https://BioRender.com/wresf1k Abstract Acute doxorubicin (

Voltage‐gated potassium channels mediate thyroid hormone control of skeletal muscle excitability
Abstract figure legend Thyroid hormone (TH)‐dependent remodelling of potassium (K+) channel networks regulates skeletal muscle (SkM) excitability. Triiodothyronine (T3), locally generated from thyroxine (T4) by type 2 deiodinase (D2), binds thyroid hormone receptors (TRα/β) and modulates transcription via thyroid response elements (TREs).

Silencing the Mutant KCNH2 Allele to Reduce the Effects of Long QT Syndrome Type 2
Background: Long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQTS2), which is associated with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, is caused by pathogenic heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the KCNH2 gene.

hERG1 channels and potential therapeutics for long QT syndrome
Abstract figure legend Prolonged QT results from hERG1 channel dysfunction. (A) Physiological anterograde trafficking of hERG1 channels to the plasma membrane, leading to a normal electrocardiogram. (B) Prolonged QT results from the presence of fewer hERG1 channels on the plasma membrane due to decreased anterograde trafficking or reduced function due ...
