George has a new weekend article for you! Today we want you to learn more about Ion Channels and Transporters as Therapeutic Agents. Don’t forget about one of our products - Ion Channels Targeted Pre-Plated Library!
Ion channels and transporters typically consist of biomolecules that play key roles in a large variety of physiological processes. The development of synthetic ion channels and transporters is a promising field in biomedicine. Ion channel modulation became a hot topic. The dysfunction of ion channels leads to several pathologies that are generally called channelopathies. The pathology that is mostly known for the therapeutic effects of ion channel activation is cystic fibrosis. Ion transporters play a key role in the regulation of homeostasis. They have been proposed as anticancer agents, antimicrobial agents, and sensitizers.
Here you can find the review focused on the design of Ion Channels and Transporters.
