Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

This paper describes the isolation, cloning, and molecular characterization of a receptor molecule for calcium ions located on the outer surface of certain types of cells. The reason it has received ...

Calcium signalling represents a fundamental process in cellular communication, orchestrating diverse physiological responses from muscle contraction to neurotransmission and gene regulation. At the ...

Cells have to invest a lot of energy to maintain this concentration gradient, especially when it comes to getting rid of calcium. 'It's like being on a rush-hour train in a city like Tokyo. When the ...
