Abstract:Potassium channels, the largest group of pore proteins, selectively regulate the
flow of potassium (K+) ions across cell membranes. The activity and
expression of K+ channels are critical for the maintenance of normal
functions in vessels and neurons, and for the regulation of cell differentiation
and maturation. However, their role and expression in stem cells have been
poorly understood. In this study, we isolated perivascular stem cells (PVCs)
from human umbilical cords and investigated the expression patte… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
