Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2010;3(3):321-329. Despite a propensity to block hERG channel function, as determined by electrophysiology, for a limited number of compounds no cardiac arrhythmias have ...
The hERG channel is a voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel that is expressed in the heart. In contrast to other Kv channels, the gating properties of hERG channels are unique and poorly understood.
The EIT–EVA PCB sensor setup used to evaluate the effects of drugs on hERG channels. The sensor measures changes in extracellular resistance as voltage-gated hERG channels are activated and inhibited, ...
When developing new drugs, understanding their effects on ion channels in the body, such as the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) ion channel found in neurons and heart muscle cells, is critical ...
