Abstract
T-type, or low-voltage-activated (LVA), tiny and transient Ca$^2+$
currents pare more and more recognised as universal players in a
plethora of cell functions and are also more and more connected to
several diseases. This short introduction reviews the discovery of
T-type Ca$^2+$ channels, describes its basic properties and sketches
its cloning and physiological impact. Finally, an overview is given
how research on T-type Ca$^2+$ channels has developed in the
last years and in which topics it is branching out, a process, which
is still ongoing.
