I(f) and the biological pacemaker

Abstract

A biological pacemaker based on the HCN gene family, the molecular correlate of the native cardiac pacemaker current, holds promise of enhancing or supplanting current electronic pacemakers by providing autonomic responsiveness of cardiac rate. Gene-based and cell-based delivery of the HCN gene have been employed to produce biological pacemakers. This article reviews efforts to date to create gene- and cell-based biological pacemakers, using both the HCN gene family and other approaches, and discusses what is known about the autonomic responsiveness in each case. Possible future refinements to an HCN based biological pacemaker also are discussed.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
