Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry have uncovered what may be biologically driving oral health issues unique to Down ...

Calcium (Ca 2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle that synthesizes and transports proteins, is ...

Scientists have addressed a long-standing controversy behind the molecular players mediating calcium signaling, a biological process that coordinates a wide array of physiological responses, according ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

Calcium is widely known for its role in maintaining strong bones and teeth, but it is also one of the body's most important cellular messengers. Calcium signals help regulate muscle contraction, ...
