The K+ channel KCa3.1 as a novel target for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a common, progressive and invariably lethal interstitial lung disease with no effective therapy. We hypothesised that K(Ca)3.1 K(+) channel-dependent cell processes contribute to IPF pathophysiology.K(Ca)3.1 expression in primary human lung myofibroblasts was e...
