Biomedical Engineering
Researchers at Center for Biomedical Research have published new data on biomedical engineering
March 15th, 2007
A new study, "Differential regulation of calcium channel coding genes by prolonged depolarization," is now available. "Calcium channels must be subjected to a very precise regulation in order to preserve cell function and viability. Voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC) represent the main pathway for calcium entry in excitable cells," scientists in Albacete, Spain report. "This explains why depolarization induces a rapid-onset and short-term inactivation of calcium currents. Contrarily to this well-documented mechanism to maintain calcium below toxic levels, the regulatory pathways inducing longer-lasting changes and cell surface expression of functional calcium...
