Research on proteins that interact with calcium, including calmodulin and S100 proteins, and their roles in cellular signaling and regulation.
Trending and Emerging
- Calcium and Cancer:
An increasing number of studies focus on the role of calcium signaling in cancer progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance, indicating a growing interest in targeting calcium pathways for cancer treatment. - Calcium in Neurodegenerative Diseases:
Research on calcium's involvement in neurodegenerative conditions, particularly Alzheimer's disease, has surged, reflecting an emphasis on understanding how calcium dysregulation contributes to neuronal death and dysfunction. - Mechanosensitive Calcium Channels:
Emerging studies investigate the role of mechanosensitive calcium channels in various physiological processes, indicating a trend towards understanding how mechanical stimuli influence calcium signaling. - Technological Innovations in Calcium Research:
There is a growing focus on developing advanced imaging and genetic tools for studying calcium dynamics, including genetically encoded calcium indicators and high-resolution imaging techniques. - Calcium in Immune Responses:
Research examining how calcium signaling regulates immune cell function and responses to pathogens is increasing, highlighting the intersection of calcium biology with immunology.
Declining or Waning
- General Calcium Homeostasis:
Earlier publications often focused on broad aspects of calcium homeostasis without specific disease context. Recent studies have shifted towards more targeted investigations into calcium's role in specific diseases or cellular mechanisms. - Non-Cellular Contexts of Calcium:
Research involving calcium's role outside of cellular signaling, such as its environmental or systemic effects, has become less prevalent compared to direct cellular studies. - Calcium in Muscle Physiology:
While muscle physiology was a significant focus in earlier issues, studies specifically dedicated to calcium's role in muscle contraction and regulation have decreased as research has expanded into other areas. - Calcium and Metabolism:
Publications that broadly discuss calcium's role in metabolism without a strong link to cellular signaling mechanisms are less frequently encountered in recent issues.
