Under the direction of Doctor Guillaume Sandoz, CNRS Research Director at the Institute of Biology of Valrose of the CHU Nice, a team of researchers from Nice has made a major advance, offering new perspectives in the treatment of cardiac anomalies, but not only. ..
Ion channels allow ions to pass through and generate the currents necessary for the proper functioning of the heart, nervous system and muscles. If these channels fail, the current is blocked, causing heart rhythm disturbances, even syncope or sudden death. Other diseases (migraines, cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy) can also result.
The Nice team succeeded in developing a molecule capable of restoring this current within the cardiovascular system. The discovery of the Nice team offers new therapeutic perspectives in cardiac arrhythmias and could also have concrete applications in the management of other pathologies associated with problems of cellular water secretions such as dry eye syndrome. or even mudoviscidosis.
