Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Voltage-gated calcium channels open in unison, rather than independently, to allow calcium ions into and activate excitable cells such as neurons and muscle cells, researchers with UC Davis Health ...

Scientists have long thought that calcium transport into mitochondria is a key signal linking cardiac workload, or how hard the heart pumps, with energy production. Now, in a major breakthrough, ...

Insufficient magnesium and calcium levels may speed up cognitive decline in older adults, with potential insights into preventing memory loss and supporting brain health through nutrient balance.

And is a supplement really necessary? Experts weigh in.

DALLAS – Feb. 5, 2004 – A membrane protein, NCX1, that transports sodium and calcium into and out of cells, may determine the frequency as well as strength of the heartbeat, researchers at UT ...

Mitochondria -- the energy-generating powerhouses of cells -- are also a site for oxidative stress and cellular calcium regulation. The latter two functions have long been suspected of being linked ...

Calcium is essential for strong bones, healthy muscles, and nerve function, but not all supplements are created equal. The two most common forms—calcium citrate and calcium carbonate—differ in ...

Eczema affects 31.6 million in the US, with atopic dermatitis being a common subtype. It involves impaired skin barrier function and abnormal immune responses. The study found a significant ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and a decline in mental ...
