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're relaxing on the sofa when suddenly your eyelid starts twitching. Or perhaps it's a muscle in your arm, your leg, or ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati and colleagues report that a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body’s fight or flight response when ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful ...
