Scientists have long thought that calcium transport into mitochondria is a key signal linking cardiac workload, or how hard the heart pumps, with energy production. Now, in a major breakthrough, ...

Like entrance and exit doors on a building, a cell's outer surface has doors -- channels, pumps, and transporters that selectively control what molecules enter or exit. In the immune system, T cells ...

New research from Aarhus University with international collaborations has revealed that natural aSN activates an important calcium pump in the cell membrane. The protein alpha-synuclein (aSN) has long ...

Calcium is critical for bone health, optimal muscle activity, and other body processes such as blood clotting and heart function. How much calcium you need depends on your age and stage of life. Share ...

UK scientists have identified a new way to kill pancreatic cancer cells by 'pulling the plug' on the energy generator that fuels calcium pumps on their cell surface. The study, published in the ...
