Presentation / Conference Contribution
Camporesi, M., Bartolucci, C., Lei, C. L., Mirams, G. R., De Boer, T. P., & Severi, S. (2020). Development, Implementation and Testing of a Multicellular Dynamic Action Potential Clamp Simulator for Drug Cardiac Safety Assessment. . https://doi.org/10.22489/CinC.2020.416

© 2020 Creative Commons; the authors hold their copyright. As drugs can be multichannel blockers it is important to assess their cardiac safety taking into account multiple currents. In silico action potential (AP) models have been proposed for being...

Use of Patient Health Records to Quantify Drug-Related Pro-arrhythmic Risk (2020)
Journal Article
Davies, M. R., Martinec, M., Walls, R., Schwarz, R., Mirams, G. R., Wang, K., …Polonchuk, L. (2020). Use of Patient Health Records to Quantify Drug-Related Pro-arrhythmic Risk. Cell Reports Medicine, 1(5), Article 100076. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrm.2020.100076

There is an increasing expectation that computational approaches may supplement existing human decision-making. Frontloading of models for cardiac safety prediction is no exception to this trend, and ongoing regulatory initiatives propose use of high...

A nonlinear and time-dependent leak current in the presence of calcium fluoride patch-clamp seal enhancer [version 1; peer review: 2 approved with reservations]. Wellcome Open Research, 5, Article 152. https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.15968.1

Automated patch-clamp platforms are widely used and vital tools in both academia and industry to enable high-throughput studies such as drug screening. A leak current to ground occurs whenever the seal between a pipette and cell (or internal solution...

Accounting for variability in ion current recordings using a mathematical model of artefacts in voltage-clamp experiments (2020)
Journal Article
Clerx, M., Lei, C. L., Whittaker, D. G., Gavaghan, D. J., de Boer, T. P., & Mirams, G. R. (2020). Accounting for variability in ion current recordings using a mathematical model of artefacts in voltage-clamp experiments. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 378(2173), Article 20190348. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2019.0348

Mathematical models of ion channels, which constitute indispensable components of action potential models, are commonly constructed by fitting to whole-cell patch-clamp data. In a previous study, we fitted cell-specific models to hERG1a (Kv11.1) reco...
