Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is made ...

New research reveals that type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease, it physically reshapes the heart ...

Researchers at TalTech have concluded that a lack of creatine does not cause heart failure, contrary to previous assumptions. However, their surprising discoveries about heart muscle cells could lead ...

The contractile responses of esophageal smooth muscle (SM) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) involve the activation of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-type VDCCs), ...
