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 ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

When most people hear “calcium,” they immediately think of strong bones and teeth. While this connection is certainly valid, calcium carbonate’s benefits extend far beyond skeletal support. This ...

Calcium is one of the most important minerals for our body, playing a key role in maintaining bone health, supporting muscle function, and even regulating nerve transmission. Despite its importance, ...

A man showed up to the hospital with vomiting, weakness, failing kidneys and sky-high calcium. The culprit was a muscle-enhancing oil he injected into his chest and arms years ago. When you purchase ...
