New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Developed by Northwestern Engineering’s Igor Efimov and George Washington University’s Luyao Lu, the implantable device uses ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

Recent research has increasingly focused on understanding the dynamics of calcium and its interactions with other signaling molecules, such as inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and nitric oxide (NO ...

which enables the calcium channel to open at relatively hyperpolarized potentials. 8 This calcium-mediated pacemaking capability, however, comes at a metabolic cost for the dopaminergic neurons.

Skimmed milk has a little more calcium than semi-skimmed, which in turn has a little more calcium than whole milk. The reason is simply that as the fat is removed, the watery proportion of the ...

A zero calcium score with high cholesterol may mean a person is at a lower risk of coronary heart disease. It means imaging does not show a buildup of calcified plaque in the heart’s blood vessels.

NASCAR announced today it will launch a FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) Channel called the NASCAR Channel. The NASCAR Channel goes live with exclusive launch partner Tubi on Wednesday ...

Calcium benefits the body by supporting bone health and possibly reducing the risk of colon cancer. Calcium may also help improve blood pressure and boost better weight control. Adequate calcium is ...

Besides adhesion GPCRs, dysregulated GPCRs are organized by calcium flux modulation. Receptors coupled to G alpha q activate the IP3 calcium pathway through the alpha subunit. Receptors coupled to G ...

The signaling of platelet intracellular calcium ions plays a critical role in the activation of platelets. Upon activation, agonists cause an increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium ...
