Investigation of Novel Small Molecular TRPM4 Inhibitors in Colorectal Cancer Cells
(1) Background: Transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM4) ion channel aberrant expression or malfunction contributes to different types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, TRPM4 still needs to be validated as a potential target in anti-cancer therapy. Currently, the lack of...

However, TRPM4 still needs to be validated as a potential target in anti-cancer therapy.
