## Abstract The endothelium relaxes vascular smooth muscle cells through at least three factors: nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclin (PGI~2~), and endotheliumβderived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). In the coronary circulation, we have conducted a series of experiments to study: 1) the inhibitory effect

In all Na(+)-absorbing and Cl(-)-secreting epithelia, an increase in the activity of the Na+,K(+)-pump at the basolateral membrane is accompanied by an increase in the K+ conductance of that barrier and vice versa. We have recently identified an ATP-regulated K+ channel, K(ATP), in basolateral membr

## Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) possess two unique characteristics: selfβrenewal and pluripotency. In this study, roles of voltageβgated potassium channels (K~v~) in maintaining mouse (m) ESC characteristics were investigated. Tetraethylammonium (TEA^+^), a K~v~ blocker, attenuated cell pro
