Funded Activity Summary

Ion channels are molecular pores of excitable membranes facilitating passage of ions and organic solutes across cellular membranes. An ever-increasing number of human and animal diseases result from malfunctioning ion channels making them to important therapeutic targets, which are modulated by a range of currently prescribed drugs. In the recent years the scientific and medical community has become increasingly aware of the role that mechanosensitive ion channels play in pathology of diseases including cardiac hyperthrophy and arrhythmias.
