A new role of calcium in the development of muscles has been reported by two RIKEN biologists.

CRT regulates intracellular calcium levels, acting as a sensor and buffer of this element in the ER lumen. Once the scientists made these predictions, they had to design experiments to examine ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time ...

Research in our lab focuses on understanding how these calcium dynamics are regulated in normal and diseased hearts, and how abnormal intracellular calcium release may contribute to the development of ...

Intracellular calcium within the cardiac myocytes is increased by digoxin, resulting in increased inotropy, or contractility. Digoxin toxicity causes hyperkalemia, or high potassium. The sodium ...

Dr. Eric Levine’s cutting-edge autism research at UConn is reprogramming the donated skin or blood cells of Angelman or Dup15q syndrome patients to develop them in the lab into brain cells that ...

About 1% of the body's calcium is used for metabolic functions, such as vascular contraction and dilation, muscle function, ...
