And we’re off! Organiser @drkatyroach is welcoming everyone to Leicester. #BALR26
New preprint: KCa3.1 in aortic stenosis.
Our data suggest this channel contributes to pro-fibrotic activation in valve cells, and that inhibition may attenuate these responses.
Excited to put it out for discussion and feedback.
