Title of abstract : Characterization of voltage-gated potassium channels in human neural progenitor cells
Abstract text:
Human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) isolated from fetal brain tissue generate voltage-activated potassium outward currents (Kv). They consist largely of a transient component, which is sensitive to 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and shows fast [...]
