Interleukin-6 induced activation of a non-selective outward cation conductance in human cardiac fibroblasts

The involvement of mechano sensitive channels in interleukin-6 induced electrical property of fibroblast was proposed. This report presents one particular model of action of interleukin-6, that can open new insights for a deeper understanding of the relationships between interleukin-6 and different ion channels into the fibroblast.
