Expression and functional role of BK channels in chronically injured spinal cord white matter
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes neuronal death, demyelination of surviving axons, and altered ion channel functioning, resulting in impaired axonal conduction. The large-conductance, voltage and Ca2+-activated K+ (BK or Maxi K+) channels contribute to the repolarization phase of action potentials. T...
