During my Ph.D., my research focused on the involvement and the role of mitochondrial potassium homeostasis in the context of pathophysiological processes. I have been working on three related projects, for which the common aspect is the study of the mitochondrial potassium homeostasis and its modulation by pharmacological tools. My thesis contains a general introduction, in order to give a general up-to-date overview covering all the topics treated during my Ph.D., followed by a collection of the papers where I gave my contribution. Concerning the first project, my studies provided new insights into the mechanism of action of an emerging pro-apoptotic, oncologically relevant molecule, namely salinomycin. This molecule was considered a v...
