Inhibition of ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels and L-Type Ca2+ Channels by Amiodarone Elicits Contradictory Effect on Insulin Secretion in MIN6 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Some class I antiarrhythmic drugs induce a sporadic hypoglycemia by producing insulin secretion via inhibition of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels of pancreatic β-cells.

Simultaneous knockout of Slo3 and CatSper1 abolishes all alkalization- and voltage-activated current in mouse spermatozoa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
During passage through the female reproductive tract, mammalian sperm undergo a maturation process termed capacitation that renders sperm competent to produce fertilization.

Brugada syndrome update

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
Brugada syndrome (BrS), a genetic disorder affecting cardiac ion channels, predominantly manifests due to mutations that impair the function of the Nav1.5 sodium channel’s α-subunit.

Classification of Platelet‐Activating Anti‐Platelet Factor 4 Disorders

open access: yesInternational Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The prototypic anti‐platelet factor 4 (PF4) disorder—heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT)—features immunoglobulin G (IgG) class antibodies that activate platelets, monocytes, and neutrophils in a mainly heparin‐dependent fashion via Fcγ receptor‐dependent cellular activation.

Organocatalytic stereodivergent synthesis of β,β-disubstituted-α-aminoacids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this work, we present an organocatalytic stereodivergent synthesis of β,β-disubstituted-α-aminoacids using arylidene azlactones as starting materials.

Determining properties of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes using spatially resolved electromechanical metrics

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this study, we use human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC‐CM) experiments and computational modelling to identify the mechanism of action of drug compounds. In the hiPSC‐CM experiments, optical measurements of cell collections are recorded in the baseline case and after drug exposure.

Quantitative Comparison of Effects of Dofetilide, Sotalol, Quinidine, and Verapamil between Human Ex vivo Trabeculae and In silico Ventricular Models Incorporating Inter-Individual Action Potential Variability

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Background:In silico modeling could soon become a mainstream method of pro-arrhythmic risk assessment in drug development. However, a lack of human-specific data and appropriate modeling techniques has previously prevented quantitative comparison of drug

Heme crystallization in a Chagas disease vector acts as a redox-protective mechanism to allow insect reproduction and parasite infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Heme crystallization as hemozoin represents the dominant mechanism of heme disposal in blood feeding triatomine insect vectors of the Chagas disease. The absence of drugs or vaccine for the Chagas disease causative agent, the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi ...

The effects of repetitive electric cardiac stimulation in dogs with normal hearts, complete heart block and experimental cardiac arrest [PDF]

open access: yes, 1955
Direct cardiac stimulation was conducted in the open chest. In normal animals, auricular stimulation at frequencies faster than the spontaneous rate caused little change in vascular pressures or cardiac output.
