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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium ...

For millions of people, statins are a daily safeguard against heart attacks and strokes. But for about 1 in 10 users, these widely prescribed drugs come with an unexpected tradeoff—persistent muscle ...

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 ...

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 ...

CalciMedica said it is “moving quickly” to take Auxora into phase 3 after the calcium release-activated calcium channel inhibitor was shown to reduce the time before solid food could be consumed by a ...

A team of researchers has found that mutations in the calcium channel protein RyR1 that confer susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia make the protein hypersensitive to heat, which triggers ...

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 ...

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 ...
