Hypotension due to Kir6.1 gain‐of‐function in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: K(ATP) channels, assembled from pore‐forming (Kir6.1 or Kir6.2) and regulatory (SUR1 or SUR2) subunits, link metabolism to excitability. Loss of Kir6.2 results in hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, whereas loss of Kir6.1 causes Prinzmetal ...

Validation of XE991 use as a Selective Irreversible Blocker of Native Kv7 Channels in Smooth Muscle Myocytes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2012
A concern was recently raised about the selectivity of XE991 and its use as a Kv7 channel blocker in single cell electrophysiology and in vitro functional assays. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of XE991 on different components of the endogenous delayed rectifier potassium currents recorded in freshly isolated guinea pig airway myocytes ...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Related Myositis and Associated Triad Overlap Syndrome

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myositis is a rare but highly morbid condition, particularly with the ICI myositis triad syndrome of myositis, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis. We report the clinical characteristics of ICI myositis and all‐cause mortality in these patients.

Comparative Statistical Mechanics of Muscle and Non-Muscle Contractile Systems: Stationary States of Near-Equilibrium Systems in A Linear Regime

Entropy, 2017
A. Huxley’s equations were used to determine the mechanical properties of muscle myosin II (MII) at the molecular level, as well as the probability of the occurrence of the different stages in the actin–myosin cycle.

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]

, 2009
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers

Journal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.
