Genetic model reveals a form of calcium release is unnecessary for normal muscle contraction
by Juntendo University edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors’ notes Genetic inhibition of RyR1-mediated calcium-induced calcium release reveals its minimal role in skeletal muscle contraction and its critical contribution to malignant hyperthermia risk. Credit: Dr. Takashi Murayama from Juntendo University, Japan The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. […]
