## Abstract We report the functional characterization of constitutive nitric oxide synthase(s) (NOS) such as neuronal and endothelial NOS in cultured human astrocytes. Exposure of cultured human astrocytes to 1 ΞΌM veratridine or 50 mM KCl produced a pronounced increase in a calmodulinβdependent NOS

## Abstract Cervical cancer (CaC) is the third most frequent cause of death from cancer among women in the world and the first in females of developing countries. Several ion channels are upregulated in cancer, actually potassium channels have been suggested as tumor markers and therapeutic targets
## Abstract Previous work suggested that functional voltageβgated Na^+^ channels (VGSCs) are expressed specifically in strongly metastatic cells of rat and human prostate cancer (PCa), thereby raising the possibility that VGSC activity could be involved in cellular behavior(s) related to the metast
## Abstract The secretory membrane activities of two rat prostate cancer cell lines of markedly different metastatic potential, and corresponding electrophysiological characteristics, were studied in a comparative approach. In particular, voltageβgated Na^+^ channels (VGSCs) were expressed in the s
