Interactions between Activation and Repolarization Restitution Properties in the Intact Human Heart: In-Vivo Whole-Heart Data and Mathematical Description

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Background The restitution of the action potential duration (APDR) and conduction velocity (CVR) are mechanisms whereby cardiac excitation and repolarization adapt to changes in heart rate. They modulate the vulnerability to dangerous arrhythmia, but the

Andersen-Tawil Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare condition consisting of ventricular arrhythmias, periodic paralysis, and dysmorphic features. In 2001, mutations in KCNJ2, which encodes the α subunit of the potassium channel Kir2.1, were identified in patients ...

Discovery of a Novel and Potent Kir4.1 Inhibitor as a Safe and Rapid‐Onset Antidepressant Agent in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The preferred derivative JX3212 demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against Kir4.1 with favorable druggability and shows significant antidepressant efficacy in vivo. Abstract Major depressive disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder for which novel and fast‐acting antidepressants are required.

Population of human ventricular cell models calibrated with in vivo measurements unravels ionic mechanisms of cardiac alternans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cardiac alternansis an important risk factor in cardiac physiology, and is related to the initiation of many pathophysiological conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying the generation of alternans remain unclear. In this study, we used a population

Is myocardial repolarization duration associated with repolarization heterogeneity? [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2017
BackgroundDispersion of repolarization is theorized as one mechanism by which myocardial repolarization prolongation causes lethal torsades de pointes, (TdP). Our primary purpose was to determine whether prolongation of myocardial repolarization as measured by the heart rate‐corrected J‐to‐T peak interval (JTpkc), is associated with repolarization ...

Engineering Osteoimmune Responses with Functionalized Orthopedic Implants for Post‐Operative Osteosarcoma Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor with limited treatment options and a terrible prognosis. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the recent development of osteoimmunomodulatory implants for post‐operative osteosarcoma treatment, of which the potential utility in evoking durable anti‐osteosarcoma immunity and accelerating bone

Calcium- and Voltage-Dependent Dual Gating ANO1 is an Intrinsic Determinant of Repolarization in Rod Bipolar Cells of the Mouse Retina

open access: yesCells, 2020
TMEM16A/anoctamin1 (ANO1), a calcium (Ca2+)-activated chloride (Cl−) channel, has many functions in various excitable cells and modulates excitability in both Ca2+- and voltage-gating modes.

Potassium channel subunits encoded by the KCNE gene family: physiology and pathophysiology of the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Voltage-gated potassium channels provide tightly Controlled, ion-specific pathways across membranes and are key to the normal function of nerves muscles. They arise from the assembly of four pore-forming proteins called alpha-subunits.
