Calcium is a very special nutrient. In the cells of most living beings calcium ions function as so-called second messengers to transmit important signals. The same applies equally to animal, plant and ...
Calcium ions are essential for cells, but can be toxic in higher concentrations. A team of researchers has now designed and prepared a combination drug that kills tumor cells by modulating the calcium ...
Concerns about the security and sustainability of battery materials being utilized are growing. The long-term use of lithium in energy storage devices is in danger due to looming worries about ...

Lithium has reigned in the battery world for decades. Researchers have tried for years to make a cheaper, more sustainable successor to lithium-ion batteries by using the element’s more common ...
Recently, a research team led by Prof. HUANG Xingjiu from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, constructed a highly stable ...
Chemical transmission at a synapse between two neurons is a core step for information processing in neural networks. To reveal the information processing in the brain, which consists of a huge number ...
No matter how important something is, too much of anything is bad for you. Scientists have now put that principle to work to kill cancer, with a new drug that causes calcium to build up and choke the ...
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 ...
