Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels are critical determinants of smooth muscle function by mediating rapid feedback between intracellular calcium levels and membrane potential.
School of Medicine scientist receives continued funding to support smooth muscle plasticity research
Kenton Sanders, Ph.D., chair of the physiology and cell biology department at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, has received Phase 3 funding in the amount of $5.4 million over the next five ...
DeGolier's research interests include smooth muscle physiology and pharmacology in vitro, peptide regulation of gastrointestinal, uterine, and vascular smooth muscle motility, and the use of herbs in ...
A recent study by University Medicine Halle shows how sepsis can lead to dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells. The researchers found that elevated lactate levels and acidosis, which can occur ...
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 ...
Muscles play a part in every function of the body. The muscular system is made up of over 600 muscles. These include three muscle types: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Only skeletal muscles are ...
Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.
You have 3 different types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle alone accounts for over 650 different muscles. Have you ever wondered how many muscles you have in your body? The ...
