Muscle contractions are initiated by depolarization of the voltage across the plasma membrane resulting from synaptic release at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Excitation–contraction (EC) coupling ...
New research could help explain one of the “miracles” of childbirth – how the uterus contracts to push babies into the world. Computer models, developed by researchers in India and France, reveal that ...
The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
