Background and Purpose
Drug-induced reduction of the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current carried by the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene (hERG) channel is associated with increased risk of arrhythmias. Recent updates to drug safety regulatory... Read More about The impact of uncertainty in hERG binding mechanism on in silico predictions of drug-induced proarrhythmic risk.

EP-Europace, 25(9), Article euad243. https://doi.org/10.1093/europace/euad243

Aims
Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) have become an essential tool to study arrhythmia mechanisms. Much of the foundational work on these cells, as well as the computational models built from the resultant data,...

The Kv11.1 protein encoded by the hERG gene forms the primary subunit of a voltage-sensitive ion channel responsible for IKr in cardiomyocytes. Mathematical models of the macroscopic current are fitted to data from patch-clamp experiments - in which...
