The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.
Managing Calcium Overload Identified as Novel Therapeutic Approach in Treating Injured Muscle Fibers
Mutations in a calcium ion channel anoctamin 5 (ANO5), commonly found in muscle cells, cause the debilitating disease called limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L). Characterized by progressive ...
Calcium ions are essential to how muscles work effectively, playing a starring role in how and when muscles contract, tap energy stores to keep working and self-repair damage. Not only are calcium ...
Calcium ions enable cells to communicate with one another, allowing neurons to interact, muscles to contract, and the heart's muscle cells to synchronize and beat. To better understand these processes ...
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers discover that blocking the ion channel called TRPC6 in genetically modified mice with severe or moderate Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) substantially improves ...
