A systems pharmacology-based approach to identify novel Kv1.3 channel-dependent mechanisms in microglial activation

Abstract Background Kv1.3 potassium channels regulate microglial functions and are overexpressed in neuroinflammatory diseases. Kv1.3 blockade may selectively inhibit pro-inflammatory microglia in neurological diseases but the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulated by Kv1.3 channels are poorly...
