A subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels was found to have a functional role in T-cells, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications. The findings add to a growing ...

In this work, Morgenstern and colleagues describe an approach involving functionalized nanobodies which decrease the activity of voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels associated with β 1 subunits and promote ...

Environmental stressors such as radiation, pH shifts, temperature variations, and electromagnetic fields can trigger intracellular oxidative stress, upregulating voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) gene ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein activity in terms of calcium ...

A discovery about voltage-gated calcium channels and opioids could help develop more targeted drugs for pain. Opioids are a key drug used for treating pain; however, we still don’t know exactly how ...
