Ca2+ ionophores are not suitable for inducing mPTP opening in murine isolated adult cardiac myocytes
Abstract Opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) plays a major role in cell death during cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion. Adult isolated rodent cardiomyocytes are valuable cells to study the effect of drugs targeting mPTP. This study investigated whether the use of Ca2+ ionoph...
