SK4 K+ channel blockers: a new treatment for cardiac atrial fibrillation

We discovered a previously unidentified target in the heart, namely the SK4 calcium-activated K+ channels, which are functionally expressed in pacemaker cells as well as in atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes. They are crucial for proper cardiac function and represent a completely new therapeutic target for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. SK4 channel blockers successfully prevented […] Read More >

Reaching an understanding in molecular terms of the mechanisms by which changes in membrane potential regulate cellular events is the main concern of our research. We focus our interest on potassium channels because they play crucial roles in many cellular functions such as shaping cardiac and neuronal action potentials, tuning neuronal firing patterns, synaptic integration […] Read More >
