The K+ channel KCa3.1 as a novel target for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
<h4>Background</h4>Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a common, progressive and invariably lethal interstitial lung disease with no effective therapy. We hypothesised that K(Ca)3.1 K(+) channel-dependent cell processes contribute to IPF pathophysiology.<h4>Methods</h4>K(C...
