K Monaghan, SA Baker, L Dwyer… - The Journal of …, 2011 - Physiological Soc During pregnancy the uterus must maintain a low contractile state to permit growth of the fetus and inhibt premature delivery. We show uterine smooth muscle cells express specific potassium channels (called stretch-dependent potassium channels; TREK-1). These channels are ... Related articles - All 2 versions
