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 ...

Calcium is known as an essential mineral for maintaining healthy and strong bones, but did you know it plays an essential role in your heart’s health, too? It helps your overall health, too. “Adequate ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Heart Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sören Brandenburg have identified a protein that plays a central role in the heart's adaptation ...
