Functional Genomics in Zebrafish as a Tool to Identify Novel Antiarrhythmic Targets

Abstract excerpt

In the face of an aging population and thereby an increasing number of patients suffering from heart rhythm diseases development of therapeutic agents is one of the major challenges in modern biomedical research. Antiarrhythmic drug discovery was mainly hindered by the limited knowledge of the molecular underpinnings of cardiac electrophysiology in health and disease. In recent years, the zebrafish has emerged as...
