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 ...

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 ...

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 channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Calcium ions are essential for cells, but can be toxic in higher concentrations. A team of researchers has now designed and prepared a combination drug that kills tumor cells by modulating the calcium ...

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 ...
