Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) ion channel is ubiquitously expressed. Dysregulation and/or functional mutations of TRPM4 lead to several diseases. Within our studies, we screened for TRPM4 inhibitors and identified small molecules that block TRPM4 in the low µM range. Furthermore, we investigated the pathophysiology of TRPM4 in cardiac conditions, immune diseases and cancer using these novel inhibitors, molecular biology techniques and functional assays.
期刊介绍:
The AAPSS seeks to promote the progress of the social sciences and the use of social science knowledge in the enrichment of public understanding and in the development of public policy. It does so by fostering multidisciplinary understanding of important questions among those who create, disseminate, and apply the social sciences, and by encouraging and celebrating talented people who produce and use research to enhance public understanding of important social problems.
