Infantile hemangiomas, occurring at birth or during the first weeks of life, are benign vascular tumors with an initial proliferative phase and a later involutional phase.

GABAA receptors belong to the class of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels and are involved in fast inhibitory transmission at synapses in the central nervous system. Benzodiazepines are positive allosteric modulators of the GABAA receptor and are widely prescribed because of their hypnosedative, anxiolytic, anti-epileptic and muscle relaxant effects. Molecular insight into the mechanism of ac...
