A protein that helps regulate calcium signaling within heart cells could play a key role in preventing chronic heart failure, according to University of Utah Health scientists. Photo credit: Getty ...
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 ...
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is made ...
Calcium is an essential mineral required for strong bones, teeth, muscle function, nerve transmission, blood clotting, and ...
