Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient
Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

Modelling species selectivity in rat and human cytochrome P450 2D enzymes. [PDF]
Updated models of the Rat Cytochrome P450 2D enzymes are produced based on the recent x-ray structures of the Human P450 2D6 enzyme both with and without a ligand bound. The differences in species selectivity between the epimers quinine and quinidine are

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

Glycine Betaine Fluxes in Lactobacillus plantarum during Osmostasis and Hyper- and Hypo-osmotic Shock [PDF]
Bacteria respond to changes in medium osmolarity by varying the concentrations of specific solutes in order to maintain constant turgor. The primary response of Lactobacillus plantarum to an osmotic upshock involves the accumulation of compatible solutes

In Vitro and Clinical Evaluation of Potential Interactions of Bemnifosbuvir with Drug Transporters
Abstract Bemnifosbuvir is a novel oral guanosine nucleotide prodrug candidate for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Potential drug–drug interactions (DDIs) of bemnifosbuvir as a substrate or perpetrator with regard to ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters were evaluated in vitro and in clinical studies ...

Characterization of porcine hepatic and intestinal drug metabolizing CYP450 : comparison with human orthologues from a quantitative, activity and selectivity perspective [PDF]
Over the past two decades, the pig has gained attention as a potential model for human drug metabolism. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450), a superfamily of biotransformation enzymes, are pivotal in drug metabolism.

Role of pharmacotherapy in Brugada syndrome [PDF]
In patients who undergo aborted sudden cardiac death or syncope of unknown origin (symptomatic Brugada syndrome), no one argues that the implantation of an ICD is the first-line therapy regardless of the findings of the EP study.
