Calcium sensor proteins are fundamental modulators of photoreceptor cell function, where they detect fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ levels to finely tune the phototransduction cascade. These ...

The regulation of intracellular calcium is pivotal in driving various cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, migration and gene transcription. In cancer, aberrant calcium signalling ...

Researchers had previously discovered a population of immune cells within the brain that can act as accelerators and brakes ...

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have shown how a minimal change in a single ion channel increases the sensitivity of sensory cells in the inner ear. Even soft sounds, such ...

Calcium is a key mineral for long-term health, yet many people fall short of their daily needs. In fact, nearly 4 in 10 Americans don’t get enough, which can raise the risk of injury and disease. That ...

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major health problem that affects millions of people, especially in ...

New research identifies calcium as a key chemical signal within brain immune cells that regulates anxiety-related behaviors ...
