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 ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.

Muscles move our bodies. To do so, they contract, which then generates movement. Share on Pinterest Muscles use energy from our food to produce movement. Muscles allow us to consciously move our limbs ...

The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
