May enable selective vascular therapies via compartment-specific K+ channel modulation; leaves open clinical translation.
Different calcium signals in the endothelium and smooth muscle target different types of Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels to modulate vascular function. These differential calcium signals and targets represent multilayered opportunities for prevention and/or treatment of vascular dysfunctions.
