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.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release. The ...
Physiology is the study of normal function within living creatures. It is a sub-section of biology, covering a range of topics that include organs, anatomy, and biological compounds, among others.
