Summary: Researchers have identified a specific signaling mechanism in brain immune cells that regulates anxiety and grooming ...

A study led by a University of Louisville School of Medicine pediatrics and child neurology researcher reveals how a specific ...

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 (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 ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

To acquire an image of calcium signaling, Reto Fiolka, a cell biologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, illuminated primary cortical neurons from embryonic rats with three ...

A new method exposes key details of the mechanism behind calcium signaling in prokaryotes for the first time. Working in a Listeria monocytogenes model, researchers from Umeå University (Sweden) led ...
