Regulation of Kir4.1 expression in astrocytes and astrocytic tumors: a role for interleukin-1 β

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Objective</p> <p>Decreased expression of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels in astrocytes and glioma cells may contribute to impaired K<sup>+</sup> buffering and increased propensity for seizures. Here, we evaluated the potential...
