Although widely used in chemotherapy, free doxorubicin (Dox) might enhance cell malignancy undesirably. Liposomal Dox (Doxlipo) has been clinically approved for the treatment of breast cancer due to reduced systematical toxicity and increased tumor targeting, yet the transcriptome-wide elucidation of

Hyperactivated DEG/ENaC channels cause neuronal death mediated by intracellular Ca2+ overload. Mammalian ASIC1a channels and MEC-4(d) neurotoxic channels in Caenorhabditis elegans both conduct Na+ and Ca2+, raising the possibility that direct Ca2+ influx through these channels contributes to intracellular Ca2+

Neurodegeneration is the main cause for permanent disability in multiple sclerosis. The effect of current immunomodulatory treatments on neurodegeneration is insufficient. Therefore, direct neuroprotection and myeloprotection remain an important therapeutic goal. Targeting acid-sensing ion channel 1 (encoded by the ASIC1

Various stimuli, including hormones and growth factors, modulate epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs), which fine-tune Na(+) absorption in the kidney. Members of the EGF family are important for maintaining transepithelial Na(+) transport, but whether EGF influences ENaC, perhaps mediating salt-sensitive hypertension
