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 ...

Medically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MD Key Takeaways Calcium helps regulate the strength and coordination of each ...

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 ...

Information storage in the nervous system requires transcription triggered by synaptically evoked calcium signals. It has been suggested that translocation of calmodulin into the nucleus, initiated by ...

Dietary calcium is essential for various bodily functions and shouldn't be restricted out of fear of arterial calcification. It's crucial to maintain adequate calcium intake throughout life, ...

Researchers had previously discovered a population of immune cells within the brain that can act as accelerators and brakes for anxiety in mice. Now, new research from the lab of Mario Capecchi, Ph.D.

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 ...
