Abstract
It is commonly accepted that cells require K+channels to proliferate. The role(s) of K+channels in the process is, however, poorly understood. Cloning of K+channel genes opened the possibility to approach this problem in a way more independent from pharmacological tools. Recent work shows that several identified K+channels are important in both physiological and pathological cell proliferation and open a promising pathway for novel targeted therapies.Keywords
