Journal ArticleDOI

Human cardiovascular progenitor cells develop from a KDR + embryonic-stem-cell-derived population

TL;DR: Analysis of the development of the cardiovascular lineages in human embryonic stem cell differentiation cultures identifies a human cardiovascular progenitor that defines one of the earliest stages of human cardiac development.
Journal ArticleDOI

MiRP1 Forms IKr Potassium Channels with HERG and Is Associated with Cardiac Arrhythmia

TL;DR: A mechanism for acquired arrhythmia is revealed: genetically based reduction in potassium currents that remains clinically silent until combined with additional stressors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common polymorphism associated with antibiotic-induced cardiac arrhythmia

TL;DR: It is concluded that allelic variants of MiRP1 contribute to a significant fraction of cases of drug-induced LQTS through multiple mechanisms and that common sequence variations that increase the risk of life-threatening drug reactions can be clinically silent before drug exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

MiRP2 Forms Potassium Channels in Skeletal Muscle with Kv3.4 and Is Associated with Periodic Paralysis

TL;DR: The subthreshold, voltage-gated potassium channel of skeletal muscle is shown to contain MinK-related peptide 2 (MiRP2) and the pore-forming subunit Kv3.4, which operates with a classical potassium channel subunit to govern skeletal muscle function and pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MinK-related peptides.

TL;DR: The ubiquity of MiRP expression and their promiscuous association with Kv alpha subunits suggest a prominent role for MiRPs in channel dependent systems.
