Researchers at Texas A&M Health and collaborators have developed engineered CRAC channel inhibitory binders that can ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release. The ...

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and ...

Calcium is critical for bone health, optimal muscle activity, and other body processes such as blood clotting and heart function. How much calcium you need depends on your age and stage of life. Share ...

Calcium is an essential nutrient needed by all living creatures, including humans. Vitamin D is a prohormone that helps the body absorb calcium, which is essential for bone health. Bones and teeth ...

Sarcopenia is a critical health concern for aging populations, characterized by age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass accompanied by reduced muscle strength or physical performance 1. This ...

Think calcium only matters for bone health? These overlooked signs could indicate your body needs more of this nutrient.

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...
