Kv1.3 channels are expressed in T-cell lymphocytes and over-expressed in autoimmune diseases. They can be see as a therapeutic taget for T cell mediated autoimmune diseases.

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive cationic channels which are activated by extracellular protons. They belong to the ENaC/Deg superfamily of ion channels. Up to now 6

Ion channels are proteins with pore-forming abilities. Their selective capabilities to let ions cross the cell membrane involves them in crucial cellular functions (controlling membrance potential, the

Messenger RNAs - a promising class of new therapeutic biologics

As messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are easier to deliver into cells than plasmids or viral vectors, they are useful for non-dividing cells. Inversely

This month, a new leap forward in gene editing has been published in Nature under the title 'Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA'. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1711-4.

Genes are key components of our lives. With many other factors, they contribute to shaping us, making people and any other living organism what they are. Genomes, whether human or not, are able to evolve
