CalciMedica had been evaluating the therapy, called Auxora, in the Kourage trial of patients with stage 2 or 3 AKI with ...

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is caused by mutations in a specific calcium channel. A comprehensive proteomic study by researchers at the University of Innsbruck now reveals how these ...

A woman with hopes to conceive was diagnosed with severe vasospastic angina (VSA); however, she was able to carry a healthy baby to full term without angina attacks after starting treatment of a ...

I have found that some patients with depression seem to improve when calcium blockers are discontinued. Are there any data to support this? What would be your preference as a replacement for a calcium ...

Myotonic dystrophy is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy. It is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. No treatments currently exist that slow the ...

Voltage‐gated calcium channels, particularly the CaV2.1 channels encoded by the CACNA1A gene, are central to cerebellar function and synaptic transmission. Dysfunction in these channels leads to a ...

New York University (NYU) researchers suggest that ORAI1 calcium channel activity in oral cancer cells could be targeted to reduce the growth of oral tumors and reduce pain, according to a study that ...

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have shown how a minimal change in a single ion channel increases the sensitivity of sensory cells in the inner ear. Even soft sounds, such ...

Examining data on more than 400,000 participants in the U.K. Biobank revealed that use of CCBs was associated with a 39% greater odds of glaucoma after adjusting for various factors, including the use ...

An essential protein that acts as a gatekeeper for calcium entering cells promotes the growth of oral cancer and generates pain, according to a new study. Targeting this protein -- the ORAI1 calcium ...
